Hello. Picked up a very clean S&W Model 625-6 at the Dallas Market Hall gun show yesterday. I have not gotten the opportunity to shoot it yet but will when I can. Action is smooth and single-action very light and clean-breaking. I don't care for the MIM parts, but these have been hard to find, at least in my neck of the woods. Stuck a set of Eagle Secret Service grips on it and find it quite comfortable.

This thing will probably get a main diet of 250-gr. CSWC's loaded to 850-900 ft/sec. I will also see how Corbon's .45 AR DPX load shakes out through it as well.

I've had good luck with a considerably older 5" Model 625 in ACP/AR and hope that this one does as well.

We'll see...

Best.

Hello and thanks to all for letting me brag on my new six gun.

Thankfully, it doesn't have the lock; wouldn't have bought it if it had.

The Eagle Grips are comfortable for me, but comfort is one of those things that is subjective. What I find comfortable, another might just as truthfully find just the opposite.

Best.

PS: Yes, it is a 3" bbl.
