Howdy to the revo forum, My first time posting on this forum please excuse any dumb questions. All right let's get to it , I want to try revolver in USPSA I have a S&W 625 in 45 acp it is a model of 1989 This gun has been used for bowling pin shooting. Could anyone tell me me if this would suffice for USPSA or should look elsewhere. Next question what kind of speed rig should I be on the look out for Also I am a southpaw. Any and all help appreciated. Thank you alll. Mike Scavo

Muleskinner, if you already have it, try it. I had a 625 model 1989. I had to change the barrel and then it shot ok, changed it again with a 6.5 inch and that is what I am using now, for a while! Several Left handers on the board and I will let them tackle other issues. later rdd

Where do you get a 6.5 inch barrel at for a 625?

Probably a model 25 barrel.

More than likely a 25 barrel. I was lucky when I bought it from Numerich's. It fit right away, some got one that had to recess the shoulder as it was for a 45 Colt, (Longer Cylinders) Later rdd

All of mine have come from a model 25. My Barrels are marked ".45 Cal Model 1955"

Made mine out of a Lothar walther barrel blank, polygon rifleing, lot of work but I sorta like it.

What made you want to change the barrel?

Ben, Mostly because I could. I have seen other 45 with the 6.5 inch barrel, some were custom barrels. Roger Reid had a 25 with a 6.5 inch and it felt lighter than the 5 inch 625. It gives me a little more sight radius with less weight. This set up will make major (165) at 3.5 grains of Clays with a 230 grain Moly Lead Billy Bullet. I am using 3.6 for a little cushion about 170, and it is accurate, I may not be but it is. later rdd

Muleskinner, I am lefty too. I use a kydex holster from Kytac and a speedy rack to hold my moon clips. There are probably faster holsters out there, but I don't worry about it too much. One of these days when I have more money than sense I will experiment with different holsters. My first experiment will probably be with a DOH type kydex holster.
