Sorry I kind of went of on a rant.
I am just so disappointed with this gun. I know a "Good" 625 is a sweet gun. That is why I wanted one. I searched and looked at different ones for a while. I bought the PC so I would not have to go thru all this kind of aggravation. I love my other S&W revolvers. I will buy more S&Ws ,but not a new one. Defiantly not one from the PC. My advise is just buy a regular 625 or one of the JM models and send it to a GOOD revolver smith. I will get this gun working right , but it will cost me time and money.
S&Ws attitude is just aggravating. Its your ammo its your moon clips its everything but their gun. Search the web and you will find lots of people that have had problems with 625s. Go on the S&W forums and tell your story and you get flamed. I have talked with a few gunsmiths both well known and others not so much 9 out of 10 say the are bad out of the box and need work. Why does Cyl and Slide make a longer firing pin?
