killarbb Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 i got my new wheel gun today. what a thing of beauty. ordered a 4 inch 625JM. i wanted to try out the Jerry grips and the gun only cost $25 more than a bare bones 625. lets start with the really good things i like. the gun feels great in the hand. the sights are alright, but i had already planned on replacing the front. big problem with this. i thought it was a pinned front only to get home and find out it isnt. i already had picked up the SDM pinned sight9 oh well Brownells and i will work that out. the grips feel nice here at home while doing some draws. i will find out about the recoil management in the morning. over all finish is nice. now for the bad things. the trigger is/ was horrible. i had a Wolff sprig kit just waiting to go into my 325pd, but then i decided that it HAD to go into the 625. that was easy enough. i still need to do some stoning, but the improvements from the springs will easily satisfy me for now. the internal machining is below my expectations. i can see all kinds of marks on just about all of the parts. everything is in place to make my first uspsa match a whole lot better though. i will try to get a range report up tomorrow after i get to work on chamfering the cylinder. over all i am pleased.

flagaman Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Congrats killarbb. I use a slightly modified mod 10 to compete in our locale matches. Have started to consider a 625 (already load for a kimber), but am just not sure if I will like the N frame size. Keep me/us posted please. Might help me make a quicker decision. flagaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
