I purchased my first non-22lr revolver. It's the S&W 625 JM. Actually I don't have it yet. I will by Friday though.

 

I've always wanted a revolver but I have enought different calibers without the need to add more (.357 and .38spl) so I got the 45ACP. Best thing is, I started to reload 45ACP and this should be fun to shoot.

 

MSRP is $979 but I got it for $800 shipped (with 3% creditcard fee) to my FFL BRAND NEW!!!!!

 

I can't wait to shoot it.   

 

Picking mine up today, was held up on NICS. Same exact gun. Good luck with it

Congrats! I got one a little over a year ago, and love it.

Nice looking gun, I don't think 45 ACP revolvers are all that common.  I might have to put it on my short list of next guns to get!

Nice! Good price as well, Ive got a 625 pc on layaway.

Nice buy.

That's the next gun my list.

Congrats...a 625 is on my very short list

My S&W 1917 is a sweet shooter...

To get the maximum enjoyment from your .45 ACP/AR revolvers, you will need the following...

 

Moon clips...

http://www.ranchproducts.com/

These folks are old school. All the web address gives you is the physical address and phone number - you have to call and actually talk to a human being to order clips. One nice thing about .45 ACP revolvers is that they aren't fussy about moon clips. Buy a lot, they're cheap (last ones I got were $35/100 - may have gone up since then, but still cheap). With that many clips you can do all your loading and unloading at home - just take a range bag full of "clipped" ammo.

 

Moon Clip Tool...

This tool works great for inserting loaded rounds into a moon clip. You can use it to demoon also, but it is a bit of a PITA for that and I recommend a tool specifically for that (see next).

 

Demooner...

Or you can make your own out of anything from copper pipe to a golf club shaft.

 

There are other tools out there that range from the sublime to the ridiculous, but the above are tried and true and will serve you well. Soon you will wonder why you hadn't discovered moon clips sooner. Moon clip guns are like potato chips - ask me how I know: My seventh one is sitting at my FFL while I wait for my permit.

 

Enjoy them guys!

 

Adios,

Demooner... LOL!!!

Gotta find a deal on either a jm or pro series. Time to scour gunbroker

Just don't let California State Senator de Leon find out about your 45 caliber clips. 

Favorite gun I own. Nice pick up.

Very nice!! Do you mind sharing where you ordered it from?

Gunbroker. Started at $700. Won at $750

Great deal at $800. I have a JM and love it. Still haven't done much with it but I have some plans for it. Really is a lot of fun.
