Hello all.
I just have came into possession (possibly temporary, but keeping my fingers crossed) of a barely fired S&W 625-6, sans grips, serial # CET6xxx. The right side of the barrel is marked "45 CAL MODEL OF 1989."
A few questions:
---does this pistol vary much from the current 5" 625 listed in the S&W catalog?
---is it safe with .45 Super-level loads? (not planning on shooting any, just curious)
--any suggestions on a good neoprene replacement grip?
--is it fine to dry-fire?
--how is the printing done on the barrel & frame? It's not the current fugly laser engraving or stamping.
Any other information/comments would be apprieciated.
And a comment:
THIS THING IS SUPER SUPER SWEET! I SURE HOPE I GET TO KEEP IT! I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT A .45ACP REVOLVER WOULD MAKE THE PERFECT NIGHTSTAND GUN....oh well, I guess I'll know soon enough.
Thanks in advance, y'all.
