My friend at the LGS showed this one to me in particular, knowing that I am a big-handed guy who likes revolvers. That was about a month ago. It's been sitting there all lonely in the case ever since. Today I went to rescue it. I brought three handguns I didn't really want anymore. I thought that would be enough, but it wasn't. Luckily I brought my credit card, too.
On the barrel it says "45 cal model of 1988". I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if there's such thing as a "no-dash", or if it's a 625-2. I figured someone on The High Road would probably know that.
It's in nice condition. It has a definite turn line, but doesn't seem to have been abused. It locks up nice and tight. The trigger is good, but not spectacular. (Keep in mind I'm pretty spoiled.)
I had a gift card to burn on Amazon and ordered some "Ultimate Arms" moon clips. I doubt if those are the best kind, but I did have the gift card sitting around doing nothing. Again, I figured I might get some advice about that.
I already have a range trip scheduled with a shooting buddy for April 14th, so I probably won't get to shoot it until then. For now I'll just kind of fondle it. I have other S&W revolvers, but this is my first N frame.
My friend who's a clerk at the store thanked me. He'd just about talked himself into buying it. The owner laughed and mentioned that he still owed money on the last one he'd talked himself into.
