I think I am glad I missed the unedited version

Unfortunately, everybody's hand and pain tolerance is different. Resign yourself to trying and owning ($) a lot of different grips. I used Hogue fingergrooveless big butts but changed every so often. Recently I returned to Pachmayr (sp?) grippers. Go figure

The greatest of all time. Always good to do in whole or in part

Everything is a compromise. If your gun groups short colt and you are good with the pressure of your load, go for it and reap the slight benefit over long colt. If you are not so fortunate with your gun, or, would like a little cushion on the pressure, do what many did in the early years of ICORE 8 shot and go with long colt. My hand/reloading speed did not notice the difference between long and short colt. I just pocketed the easier ejection with long colt and called it good

Try long colt

It won't add many shooters. It is the same fallacious reasoning that brought about allowing 8 shots. Not that many are going to go out and spend the money to buy the equipment to shoot the division. If they already have the gun, they probably will shoot the division/but they are probably already shooting revolver Better to divide revolver into 8 and six. You may get some people back (625s who didn't/couldn't sell them) and pick up some casual revolver shooters

A lot of folks have been using .38 long colts cheerfully for a couple of decades. Gives you a little on .38 special on ejection and a little room in the case re margin of error on reloading/pressure

Seattle area is down to 2 regular shooters, but, they are damn good shooters. My friends and I let it go

They have the Model 64, .38 special, fixed sight revolver (for less money), also

Then I guess we won't talk about it

If he can keep up with me

Find grips you like and forgeddaboutit

Pick up a five inch 625 in .45 (acp or colt) That is what they were built for

Perfectly legal. You will need to block out the hue and cry and gnashing of teeth from those watching you for still having a hammer spur on your revolver.
