I like my S&W Model 325PD. Best $408 I ever spent.
I currently have a blued S&W model 25-2, (Model of 1950) , a blued S&W Model 25-2, (Model of 1955) and a S&W Model 625-3, (Model of 1989) in stainless.
By the way, all are in like new condition.
So in answer to your question: I guess I do!!

I just picked up a beep blued Taurus 905 and I am hooked as bad or worse than my 1911 faze. I can see my self getting as many more as is possible and maybe thinking about having my 686+ cut for moonclips as well. I love the speed and ease of reloading with moomclips.

Custom, 3 1/4" barreled S&W Model 25-2 in .45ACP (of course) . . . my favorite handgun of any type . . .
NEXT . . .
The original .40S&W caliber revolver gun games "race gun" . . . the S&W Performance Center Model 646 . . . an "L" frame w/ Titanium cylinder and skeletonized 4" barrel for faster handling qualities . . . and moon-clipped of course! Made in August 2001 . . . and soon to be killed off due to IDPA's whiners saying such an advanced handgun wasn't "fair."
IMHO, one of those times when things went backwards in the handgun competition arena. Better guns are something that SHOULD be a good thing! After this run of 400 PC guns, the remaining barrels and cylinders were used to make a final run of Model 646 revolvers that look a lot like the 686 profile . . . and that was the end of the .40S&W caliber S&W revolvers. All are accurate guns . . . and all were pre-internal lock revolvers. Hard to find today, 7-8 years later.
BTW, the 646/40 S&W platform was not perfect. The Titanium cylinders didn't agree sometimes with some of the 40 S&W cartridges and would make cartridge ejection in a match sometimes difficult. Plus, the "rims" of the 40 S&W brands of ammo were of different thicknesses . . . causing the ammo to flop around in the moon clip. Smith included two thicknesses of moon clips in each case, so you could find something that worked pretty well for your favorite brand of cartridge case.
Thus . . . this was an evolutionary product that had lots of promise . . . and a project that would have been perfected if it hadn't been killed out due to the competition rule changes . . . sort of like what NASCAR did to the winged Dodge Daytonas back around 1970. Kind of sad really, for the world has gone to .40S&W automatics and this would have been an incredible round for self defense in revolvers.

Is Taurus making the 905 again? I saw them on the website but have not seen any in any of the local gun stores.

I like them with the right ammo.
I'm so dialed in on the right ammo that is the fastest for "speed loading" for me.
Not telling, you have to research me, because it took a long timebanghead to find out what's the best and fastest ammo.
And trust me, all my clips and speed load have this ammo.
