Hello everyone. It's been a good while since I've posted, but things have been hopping. I'm now the supervisor of the base's main gate, and I'm going to be promoted before too long.
Anyway, I'm seriously considering a S&W 625 in .45ACP when I get home. I've thought about various .357s, and have almost talked myself into them, but man...I like .45s, and no revolver will go better, I don't think, with my Colt Gov't Model than a 625.
So I've got to ask, what are you preferances in this gun? 5" or 4"? How does the 5" full underlug balance?
What kind of muzzle velocities are you getting (you've got a longer usable barrel vs. an autoloader, but the cylinder gap)? What're your favorite pet loads for this gun (both ACP and AR loads)?
How do you carry your spare moonclips? I think, for serious or duty use, a hardshelll moonclip holder would be best. If you fell, had to crawl, etc., you wouldn't want to risk bending up your moonclips. Heck, if you were an engineering whiz, you could probably design a moonclip dispenser that acted like an oversized magazine, held four clips (24 rounds), and sat nicely on the belt.
