FULL GUN REPORT
Overview
The basic 625 revolver was introduced in 1989, and has largely retained its basic design its a stainless-steel N-frame revolver with full-lug 5-inch barrel, adjustable sights and a tall plain Patridge blade up front. However, the input of competitive shooters and the rules under which they compete has reportedly fostered the arrival of the dash-eight model 625.
