It was one of those odd itches that once scratched went away almost instantly.
Well, we're all different. When I cleaned out my stable of guns it was no problem for me to get rid of most of them, but this 625 was one of those I regretted selling, even though I hadn't been shooting it very much. I sold four or five .357s at about the same time or a little earlier and didn't regret losing them much, but felt otherwise about this one, even though I didn't care for the bobbed hammer. I think the caliber must be the reason. I do like .45s. By the way your post is dated 5/11/14, but Joe's message informing me about it just came today. What's the reason for that long delay? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: That's some very good shooting. I owned an SA/DA version of the same revolver back I the late 90s. It was decent but never super accurate. The same ammo that shot tight groups in a 1911 wouldn't group well in the 625 revolver. Of course that means very little, as every revolver is an entity unto itself, and I really didn't have mine long enough to tune loads for it. A friend lusted after it and I traded it him, or sold it to him, I forget the details now. It was one of those odd itches that once scratched went away almost instantly.
