I finally picked up my 625 off of layaway. It seemed like it took for ever to pay this one off. The gun originally came with a 5" barrel. Someone had it rebarreled to 3". Here are pics of what it looked like when I picked it up.





I replaced the goodyears with wooden grips and installed an old style thumbpiece. The gun came with the old 5" barrel so I can convert it back to its original configurattion is I ever want to.





It gets better.....

While I was there I noticed another old N frame. This one was an old .455 second model hand ejector. Made in 1916 for the British army. It has since been convertered to accept either .45 ACP moon clips or .45 auto rim cartridges. It has lost its collectors value but should be a good shooter. It came with real stag grips. The asking price was $400, I got for $350. Not bad for an N frame shooter.





These will make a good companion to my 1955 target model.




Anyone else into .45 ACP N frames?
