Well...just when I had more-or-less decided to buy a 3" 629 Trail Boss to compliment my 5" 629 classic (and for easier carry), I noticed I'm getting a hankerin' for a 625 again.
I had a 5" 629 Classic. I sold it to Correia because I wanted a .44, and the 5" full-underlug N-Frame is a bit much for a mere .45ACP. (Fun to shoot, but weight inefficient.)
But...I can get a thousand rounds of .45ACP ammo from Georgia Arms for $130.00 less than the same amount of their practice .44 Magnum LSWC loads. It'd share ammo with my autopistol, wouldn't beat me up so much, would let me focus on my revolver fundamentals (which need work), etc. All of the reasons I, you know, bought one in the first place. :banghead:
Heh. Charlie Brown, you blockhead! Stop being so wishy-washy!
I'll get a 4" this time if I do get one. The extra inch doesn't do much for a .45ACP and the weight isn't necessary.
Still, I'll have to think it over. I wish they made a 3" 625, but the only one available now is a limited run of blue-steel guns from Lew Horton. I know this is blasphemous, but I actually prefer stainless steel and full-underlug guns.
Oddly, the "standard" 4" 625 has been discontinued, with only the "Jerry M." Model now available. (Though, the JM model has better sights than the flat black sights, I just don't like the grooved trigger. I bet my dealer's distributor still has some of the standard 4" guns in stock, though.)
