Thanks. I knew it had the quick change ability but I didn't know what height I needed to order. What would happen if I ordered the .250?

Can anyone tell me the height of the stock front sight on a S&W 625 JM? I'm looking to buy a new FO front sight and I want to make sure I get the correct size. Thanks in advance.

I just ran a batch through my tumbler and they came out nice and shiny clean! Thanks for the great tip!

It should look like this: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=115209# (listed as "classic black" in the pictures)

thanks, I pulled out my 625 JM when I was home for lunch and it does in fact have the quick change front sight. That is just downright slick!

Would this include the JM models?

I ordered a set last week and they arrived this afternoon. I just put them on the 625 and so far I am very impressed. I'm going to run them on the gun at our match this evening and I'm curious to see how they feel.

Herrett's Jordan Troopers. Interesting, thanks for the tip.

Very interesting. I've had my LnL for a year or more so I'll have to take a look when I get home tonight. Thanks for sharing.

In the past 3 months I've tried: Stock 625 JM grips Pachmayr "Gripper" decelerator grips Ahrends wood grips Altamont wood grips Hogue monogrips So far the Pachmayr's have worked the best but I really hate the 2-piece design.... I can feel the seam under my fingers and it drives me nuts. I have fairly large hands so I've been playing with every option I can find to see what works. I just ordered a set of the Hogue X-grips from the Smith 500 and we'll see what they are like once they arrive.

Thanks everyone. You pretty much confirmed what I was thinking so I'll either keep the SWC's in the emergency reserve or load them up and use them in the weekly PPC league I shoot it.

Is there any reason NOT to use SWC's in a 625? I have a box that have been sitting around for a while and I figured I might as well shoot them up.... but I'm curious if the shape will cause the moonclip to hang up during reloads.

Cool, thanks. FYI - I tried to download it from iTunes last night but it said it was a format that iTunes would not recognize.....

How does someone contact Bob Perdue? http://www.4wheelguns.com/ Thank you.

Great review, thank you. What grips are you running on your 617? I'm looking for something like those for my 625.

Well, my local shop it out of the 230 gr RN plated bullets I normally use so I just picked up a box of 200 gr SWC plated Berry's.... we'll see how they work out of the 625.... If nothing else they will keep me shooting until I can find a good supply of .230's......

+1 on that. 230 grain Billy bullets [moly coated RN lead] do just fine. What is a Billy bullet?

I was told that 625's don't care for cast bullets.... I like the price on the Two Alpha bullets and might order some, I have no problem shooting cast bullets outdoors. However, I want to make sure they will do the job before I commit to a thousand of them.

Not to highjack the thread but what bullets do you use?

Jim, turns out my pawls were out of whack.... a few turns of an allen wrench and the press was running like a champ. A few turns??? Just to clarify in case a new LNL owner is viewing...did you mean complete turns? (cuz that'll lock mine up) Or were they just small adjustments? Good catch... I went in very small increments so I don't know what the total revolutions of the wrench were.... I'm guessing less than 1 complete turn total on the right and less than .5 on the left.

I tighten it often but I've never tried raising the ram first. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip. Steve

Oops. Before you did this, did you try adjusting the advancement prawls on the bottom? My shellplates had a little "snap" in them and sometimes didn't advance that last 1/16" which meant the primer wasn't always perfectly lined up on the backstroke and the sizing die wasn't always perfectly lined up when I pulled the handle down. After a bit of troubleshooting, I tried adjusting the prawls a little at a time, then returning them to their original position. I found that just a small twist on one prawl eliminated that "jump" or lack of advancement. The plate moved to each station in a completely controlled smooth motion. I don't think there should be any jump in the LnL AP advancement at all. You should be able to move the handle as slow as you wish and the shellplate should be under complete control at all times. I'm running into a similar situation where the shellplate will not advance that final 1/16" of an inch but the funny part is that it doesn't happen every time.... I can run several shells through that line up perfectly then it will act up for a few rounds. I noticed that the spring that goes around the shellplate seems to have some kinks in it..... could this be an indication of something gone south or could this be the reason things have gone south?

Check CDNN they had some deals going on 10 round mags and I know the get Mec Gar from time to time.
