I'm always scanning the classifieds on various gun forums, looking for something that catches my eye. Several days ago, something did just that - but I managed to resist up to the point that alec.mc started his thread about the 625JM or PC.

 

I guess at some point while composing my response to his thread, things just clicked. I have been waiting 11 weeks now for a 1911 in 9 mm to arrive at my dealers. I did the only thing I know of to insure that happens - I bought another gun. I have two permits - one reserved for the 1911, but the other would have been an orphan if alec hadn't started asking questions. Without further adeiu...

 

 

Nice shooter grade 625 PC without the clown grips (I'll probably still change these to Hogue rubber for competition). Still in the "swapping info" stage, so probably won't have until next week or week after - at which time the 1911 is sure to arrive and I'll have to wait another 30 days - curse you Jon Corzine and Fred Madden.

 

Adios,

Everybody needs an N-frame (or two, or three, or four, or five, or six or seven....)

Very nice Bob..

Officially jealous bob, let me know how she shoots.

 

Glad I can be of service.

 

.45 ACP? You do like the oddballs, Bob!

 

Very sweet, by the way.

Great gun, but Bob, I figured you had at least 5 of these already.

Ps: I like the grips

Wow , that is a beautiful revolver!!!! Congratulations!

 

My police told me they ( NJSP) usually have no problem approving exemptions for people who compete. So if you need either gun for an upcoming event before your OGAM is GTG you should qualify .

nice pic up pizza bob, 45 in a wheel gun shoots really nice, a friend of mine has a s&w revolver in 45 but it is a different model than yours, its of made of a dark gray flat color metal and has hogue grips, I'm not sure if it's something exotic, but it's really nice and fun to shoot...

Very nice pick up.

Thanks everyone! This will see action in IDPA (it'll give the 646 a rest).

 

@maks - well, this is number three, as far as .45 ACP/AR wheelguns go. 25-2, 625-2 and now the 625-8 PC. The 25-2 is 6.5" barrel that I bought new in the 70's. The 625-2 (model of 1988) has a 5" barrel and I bought it new in 1988. And now the 4" 625PC. There is just something special about a big bore revolver.

 

Adios,

Aaaah he strikes again. Alec is solely responsible for costing me over 2k worth of gun purchases.

 

Nice find Bob!

I like Pachmayr grips since they have no finger grooves and allow for a high hold on the frame, but that's just me.

 

I think it's time for you to get a Governor Bobby, stop fighting it.

yeah! that big bore hole in that barrel pointed at ya! love it...

Sweet . I like the hand grips.

What sort of 9mm 1911 are you after?

It's already a done deal. Been waiting 11 weeks for it to come to the vendor from whom it was purchased (in PA) and then get shipped across the iron curtain.Reveal when received.

Yeah, but you've got big ham hocks for hands. Pachmayrs cover the backstrap and increase LOP.

 

Here's when I'll buy a Governor...

Yes, it covers the backstrap. BUT, you can hold the gun higher up on the frame and that will shorten the LOP. Have you even tried a set of Pachmayrs sir?

Ray, I was using Pachmayrs when you were just a gleam in your father's eye.

its a great looking gun, but where does the magazine go?

Sometimes you CAN teach an old dog new tricks.

Congrats Bob, nice find.

Bob, congratulations on your new acquisition! I'm not much of a revolver guy, but that really is a thing of beauty. Best of luck with it.

Congrat Bob. I have been looking at the 625's for a while. I am very jealous.
