I shot two awesome groups today! One the target got mangled
 The other enough got saved to show  Top right corner   7 rounds of UMC 230gr ball at 15 yards, offhand! The other holes are from my new to me 625-2, DA is harder then hell to shoot accurately, at least for me. I would say for a $400 1911 she shoots nicely! (Older Springfield Loaded). For some of you this is probably bad.. but for me, I rarely shoot a pistol this good.

Not bad at at all, I know plenty of people that can't shoot that group at 7 yards

If you mean the black around the holes, that comes from the UMC bullets, don't know why it does that but it leaves a nasty residue on anything it hits(kinda like your christmas tree's at LCR)

Love it  I imagine if I spent all my tv time dry firing it, I would be much better. I need to get another set of snap caps.. I only have 5 so I have to count  On a side note.. does yours have any peening on it from closing the cylinder? I noticed on it mine.. just sent S&W an email and going to call them first thing monday if I remember. One hell of a big revolver. Yours an 88 or an 89? |

1988 First year of production and as I understand it the only ones not marked Model of 1989
 On the forcing cone?  Yeap. At one time I had the issue of American Handgunner with the article about the 625-2 Model of 1988 and the one in the photos had the same burr. |

Well now I don't feel so bad
 Great pictures of a beautiful gun.Boy she sure shoots, I love it. You can tell it's a big bore when you fire it, but it doesn't bring the pain out like a .44 magnum. I imagine with some practice it'll be a great gun. Just need to learn how to quickly get those moons in there. Your's is a 4"? |

It's your fault for motivating me to actually shoot that Ruger often enough to make a difference...

It's a 5". I'd love to get my hands on a 4" at a fair price, but the good price I got on this one a few years back spoiled me.
All of the -2s were The Model of 1988. There were multiple dash numbers for the model of 1989. They're nice, solid guns that shoot a good cartridge and do it very well. |

Did somebody mention a 4" 625? Here's my gun store rescue from December.

I gotta say, 4" is sweet
I still need to take pics of mine, the ones I took didn't turn out. Apparently sunlight + stainless + cheap digital camera = washed out. Rest of the picture turned out fine, but the gun was washed out and showed no detail. |

Is the crown factory? Is there a story behind it? (I like it, but none of my S&Ws look like that.... wish they did) |

According to one of the dealers I buy from it is a custom crown done by a fairly large gunsmithing firm, and was a recommendation from Massab Ayoob(i don't know in writing or person). From what I've heard it is a $90 option. Steve |
