If anyone has a 5” 625 for sale post it on the forum classifieds,I know of two shooters that are looking for one.

A few local shooters put their 8 shots away a few weeks per year dust off their 6 shot revolvers and shoot a few local match's. The top revolver shooters still score in the upper 50% bracket even though most or our local matches are set up for Limited shooters.

Good information thanks. Have you compared your splits and reload times for each?

Heard from a reliable source the New Super GP100 in 9mm has a few issues, first are tight chambers that require reaming or polishing for reliable loading and unloading, second appears to be tight headspacing that results in cases rubbing on the framer, one frame reportedly needed to be filed to square it up. Can anyonethat is an A shooter or better offer an unbiased review of the new Ruger? I have several friends that want one but need more input before buying one.

Mine are flat across all surfaces, a lip on them is not normal, sounds like their stamping tool is wearing out.

I have been using the Ranch Products in my 625 for many years, they are the best value for the buck and seem to fit all 625s without problems. As mentioned above they will work with most brass. A local shooter picked up some moon clips from a well known builder of 1911s that were totally unsuitable, he sent them back and ordered from Ranch, no problems since. A few years ago I started loading my match ammo with Winchester brass as they were slightly tighter than other brands.

Though I would submit info regarding things to do while in Mesquite besides Shooting, Gambling and Drinking, there are several great golf courses in the area plus plenty of off road trails for Jeeps, ATVs and Motorcycles. Can't wait for the fun to begin.

Biggest mistake I made was trying a set on my old 627, I now own multiple sets and any new purchases will likely have a set as well. Then last year Pat Hogue offered to custom fit a set for a friends 929, now everyone wants their custom fit for just a few dollars more. I am one of the fortunate ones where the finger grooves fit me perfectly and can switch to grooveless and not notice the difference. The only shooter I know that does not like the Hogue grip found a Pachmayer that fit his hand better. By the way I prefer the Big Butt in Rubber and wood.

Did you clean the threads with acetone before using the loc tite? all oil and grease should be removed for the thread locker to set properly.

If your gun was blasted with new beads at high pressure it will leave a rough surface, if the finish is not too rough it may have been a coverage issue that could be remedied by additional blasting. I have seen a stainless gun that was refinished with a soda blast, looked great. Rather than looking for a gunsmith you might look for a bead or soda blasting business that specializes in manufacturing applications.

A little late to the Party? I load the 158 Berrys to an OAL of 1.207 with 3.6 grains of Clays, Average velocity is 793, Extreme spread is 22, just makes 125 PF in a 6 1/2" barrel 627. . This should give you a good starting point.

During a discussion with another shooter he commented that he had seen several revolvers that had been "Tuned" by well known gunsmiths and the hammer block was missing from the gun. After reviewing my USPSA rule book I can not find where this is prohibited. Comments Please.

A Man on Man is great way to increase interest, This is one of the shooting sports where the Revolver is equal to any other handgun. I would recommend a J Ladder elimination . Andy and I should be down next week, we can discuss further.

As a shooter that has been reloading for over 40 years ,I can assure you your fired primers look normal. Your 24 pound double action pull however is not, most factory guns are @ 12 pounds, you should be able to get down to 8 1/2 pounds with Winchester primers and below 7 with well seated Federal primers and a good action job.

It has been a while since I lived in Denver, there used to be a good outdoor range at the Cherry Creek State Park near where you are staying.

I was shooting with a friend yesterday who has a stock 929, it was failing to set off Factory Winchester ammo, a quick check of the strain screw indicated it had unscrewed about one full turn, I have noticed several similar instances and all with the "New" ribbed main spring, I have not noticed this on a gun with the flat mainspring.

I have found it helps to load four rounds at a time, takes a little longer but much better than anything else out there.

You might want to contact (Minnesota1) on this forum, I believe his father is an active revolver shooter.

CYL Inspected this one today, barrel to cylinder gap was too wide on the left side, hand was too thick resulting in very hard double action pull. Have to rate it a 6

That is exactly why I am asking, my recent observations indicate certain serial number ranges require less work to achieve the best reliability and accuracy. Just trying to narrow the range down!

After having owned one great 929 and one that was far less than great I am trying to determine if there is a serial number range that is better than others. I am asking 929 owner to rate their 929 as it came out of the box 1 thru 10 with 10 being the top score. Please include your serial number prefix with your comments.

A local match director told me a few times that watching revolver shooters was painful, until a few of them beat him while he was shooting both single stack and limited.

I keep hearing the rumors that the 625 is dead and have been waiting for their prices to fall as I would like to purchase a second one. My friends and I shoot at least one USPSA match a year with them. They are also great guns for ICORE Limited 6.

With a "New run of 610s", it should be possible to buy a spare barrel and mill the underlug off to reduce the weight. Then you would have the best of both worlds, long sight and lighter weight plus the original barrel will increase in value!

The 610 is a great gun for limited 6 in ICORE, and is a good handgun for hunting and Bowling Pins, I gave my son one when he graduated from College it is his favorite handgun.
