My goal this year is to become a half-decent revolver shooter, good enough to qualify on our annual 60 round re-qual. Most all of my handgun shooting is done with single action autos, so I will definitely need to do some double action practice to get there. To this end, I am looking at purchasing a Smith 625. I am undecided on the 4" or 5" bbl lengths; going to have to find some local and see if there is any difference in balance on the two for me. I see that there are several varities of 625's out in the market. Looking at all the models out there, I guess I am limited to either a standard 625 or the JM. The JM seems nice, but I'd replace the gold bead front with a fiber, and would probably swap the grips out for Ahrends too. So, knowing all that, does the JM model still have anything to offer me over getting a standard model and a good trigger job? I hate that enormous engraved "JM" on the sideplate, but I guess I could live with it if the gun performs.
On another note, is anyone aware of a decent duty holster for the 625's? The best I can find right now is Don Hume. However, they only offer a Level One retention, which does not give me a warm and fuzzy.
