Today is 6/25 so let’s see the S&W Model 625!

Here is mine. S&W opted to call it a 625 but the skinny barrel really puts it in the 626 category but they did not offer that model nor did they ask my opinion.

So, my 625-6 Mountain Gun.

I have a Model of 1988 and also the newer JM version. Both shoot exceptionally well.

I almost forgot about this gem in .45 Colt.

Guy,

Is the front sight visible in those rear sight gizmos on those revolvers?

Kevin the front sights are not visible when shooting. When I installed my first Fastfire I really thought something was wrong. For some reason you naturally have the tendency to look through the window and then see the front sight. If you do you will be shooting a mile high. After a trip or two to the range muscle memory kicks in and you learn to drop the muzzle to see the dot on the target.

Her is my one and only 625-8. A joy to shoot that's for sure!

Thank you. Not sure if I would like the additional ounces. But if you are happy, me too.

I would be happy to buy that McGivern bead sight so it doesn’t bother your sight picture anymore! I know, what a nice guy I am!

Kevin the sight and mount weigh next to nothing. Well worth any trade off in my book, or should I say to my eyes. I like that gold bead enough to leave it firmly attached where it is : )

Love the stocks on that 3 incher. Are those Curly Maple?

Posted before, but wanted to join the parade of these fine Smiths. My model of 1989 with 5" barrel. Great shooter.

I think they call that variety of maple curly flame, They were natural color when I got them, but I decided to darken them a bit with stain and finished them with Formby's high gloss tung oil. Although it's not a "real" tung oil, I like it. Easy to apply. About 4 or 5 coats usually does it. After letting it set for a couple of weeks, you can cut the gloss wiyh 0000 steel wool, 2000 grit sand paper, rotten stone powder, etc, if you want. I left these glossy.

Looks like you did some polishing?
