this is a very informative and well produced review, thanks!

[zeusl074]

Nothing wrong with a .45 revolver. The .45 ACP cartridge was designed to duplicate the terminal effectiveness of the .45 Long Colt. Trust me, it will put them in the ground just as fast as a .44 Mag or .357 Mag—so long as you do your part! Shot placement is key!

[thiagocessna]

i´d like have this revolver some day.

[flyboytgb]

[mr7thDay]

Fuq the judge and the governor I want a 625 jm.

[metalwreck450]

Personally, I prefer the 686's .357 design, though I can see the obvious appeal of the 625. A bit high of a recoil, but I guess if you're going to be using a revolver, fast firing wouldn't be that big anyways, especially when you have 6 shots. :P

Revolvers destroy hanguns in reliability, so I've always admired them, but well, volume beats accuracy. :P

[buckwheat40]

@metalwreck450 why do you like the 686 more than the 625 jm

[metalwreck450]

@buckwheat40

Well first off, in a self-defense situation, the .44 would WRECK your eardrums in a confined area, since not only is it high caliber, but it is a magnum. Second, less caliber and a similar model often means more reliabilty as there is less force acting against the bullet and on the gun. Third, ammo is a little less expensive with the .357, which is pretty nice when you pay on average $1 a bullet. Fourth, it's fairly versatile, since it's a mid caliber and size.

[pbellis100]

@metalwreck450 Actually the decibel level of a .357 is even higher than the .44 magnum. 357 Magnum 164.3 dB Most handgun cartridges fired in a normal sized bedroom, with cause permanent hearing loss, the lowest is 45 Colt among big bores. .25 ACP 155.0 dB .32 LONG 152.4 dB .32 ACP 153.5 dB .380 157.7 dB 9mm 159.8 dB .38 S&W 153.5 dB .38 Spl 156.3 dB .357 Magnum 164.3 dB .41 Magnum 163.2 dB .44 Spl 155.9 dB .45 ACP 157.0 dB .45 COLT 154.7 dB

[metalwreck450]

@pbellis100

Huh, that's funny. I always assumed that higher caliber bullets would always have more gunpowder, and be louder. Thanks!

[pbellis100]

@metalwreck450

The lower velocity cartridges seem to be better for decibel levels, I enjoy shooting the .357 but not for home defense!

[metalwreck450]

@buckwheat40

Really though, a gun is a gun, and no matter if it's a .357 or a .44 magnum, that bullet will destroy anyone without armor, just the .44 would have greater stopping power, louder, and higher recoil. So it's more about preference than anything. I would get the 686 magnum simply because I wouldn't be using it as a self defense tool.

[RP101140]

gas mask? really?

[kimberHD45]

LMAO...are you a darth vader fanatic? Did I just see you at the range using a OSHA cartidge respirator? That has to be the funniest range video I have ever seen!

[otyroo2]

[DeepDarkSamurai]

you wanna hold it you want to shoot it you want to own.....you also want to stroke it......

[classof77]

This is the most common gun used by competitors in the Revolver division in USPSA action pistol competition. Everyone uses moon clips for fast reloads.

They are seriously cool sixguns.

[CatfishMan43]

can you shoot 45 long colt in that ?

[ilikepie779]

@CatfishMan43 you should look into the tarus judge it shoots a .410 shotsehell and can fire a .45 long colt too.

[sungwei9]

Excellent review! This or the 686? I shot the 686 and loved it. I like how you

can shoot two calibers 38/357Mag. With the 625 you can only shoot 45ACP

but if I want a 1911 too so may be good to have a revolver and auto pistol in same caliber.

[toastedgstring123]

Baby making music in the intro lol

[HRMuffinStuff]

I had one of these for a couple years. I love the .45 ACP round and this revolver is heavy enough to tame the recoil extremely well. It's very accurate too. Mine had a serious problem, certain factory loads were hot enough to jam the hammer lock so that the key wouldn't release it. I had to wiggle the cylinder back and forth and pull on the hammer and trigger simultaneoulsy in order to work the hammer lock into its free/off position. Several trips to several gunsmiths were unsuccessful.

[MrWatson2001]

I do like your reviewing style very smartly done, however just one thing that somone may have mentioned. .45 ACP is not that uncommon in a revolver. It may be today but if you werent aware, the M1917 revolver was chambered specifically for .45acp and was used to supplement the 1911 in WW1.

[MYCHEM881]

can this also chamber .45 colt?? or is it on acp??

[cliffcox66]

I think the 625 is the best of them. I use moon clips and have the hammer bobbed and action tuned by Alan Tanaka. Ppl cannot believe how fast the reload sequence is, esp after the cylinders have been chamfered.

[s14sr]

Is this your firearm?

[thehotsixer]

Revolver is more reliable than glock or sig or any semi-auto matic. BUT if you got MORE than a two guys breaking in, and you gotta shoot them all, the low capacity of the revolver might mean you run out of ammo before the threat is stopped. You have to plan on missing some of your shots, those who say they are not going to miss are not being realistic. I would say 6 bullets is enough to stop two guys assuming I shoot two bullets into each, and miss twice. BUT this gun is still a great choice.

[9secondsflat]

why did you change the beautiful wood JM grips and put on the pachmayer?

[firefox8192]

HOW MUCH AND WHERE CAN I OBTAIN IT. DOES ANY OTHER VENDER OTHER THAN S&W?

[therealsosa0081]

@firefox8192 check on gander mountain's website..it's 999.99..!!!! yeah really expensive!!!!

[xxxCRAZYLOVExxx]

does the 625 fire 357 rounds what makes a weapon a high powered weapon?

[Deadcombat]

I have the exact same one, this thing send a shockwave you to your ears and makes you deaf for a bit, I guess thats why they use ear protection

[phrogg111]

You mention in this video "I was stunned to learn that the .223 is just a high power .22 long rifle bullet"

Well, kind of. The .22LR uses 30-36 grain bullets usually moving around 1200fps, while the .223's military loading (5.56x45) is a 64 grain bullet moving around 3100 fps.

The real difference isn't diameter of the bullet, but the impact. .223 makes the water in your organs splash when it's still above 2700fps, and spins in circles as it goes through you. .22 doesn't cause splash damage.

[xxxCRAZYLOVExxx]

@phrogg111 so the m4 uses 223 bullets? and is stronger?

[ThePeckerwood310]

realy revolvers are obsolete since ww1 there just around for recreation

[Kurfan26]

i wouldnt say it is suited for law enforcement. it only carries six rounds. I would much rather carry 9 mil

[nunvikingsofthesea]

knock-off nutnfancy?

[GARTV101]

jiiiizzzzzzzz

[Leodor94]

Hey, great review and nice safety tips. I have one question, is it the .45 that also shoots the 410 ga? I'm in a hurry out the door and don't have time to look it up. Thanks!

[lustcorp]

That's a good-looking piece of fire arm, kind of expensive.

[BDbrea]

I LOVE this Shitt

[ozark1951]

Boring review with too much extraneous content. I learned NOTHING here

[The870Express]

@ozark1951 lol

[MrChamp51]

Could you post a video on how the rimless .45 acp secures in the cylinder? I can't figure in out :) thanx for the vid. Sweet gun!

[robocopmk2]

@MrChamp51

Full moon clips.

[VinnyS914]

Is that the original grip or did you change it?

[052187ful]

Great vid Great weapon

[skylerbob8]

.223 is actually closer to .224.

[stradawhovious]

Also, when I purchased this gun the trigger was a little hard. I bought a Miculek Spring kit, and the Miculek "Revolver Trigger Job" video. After tinkering a bit, having a gunsmith give some pointers, and following the instructions on the video the trigger pull went from 12 lbs to a very smooth very reliable 8 lbs. I don't recommend this for carry or duty purposes (danger of light strikes if the trigger is set too light), but for gaming an range use it's great!

[buckwheat40]

@stradawhovious hi, so you really like the 625jm? i'm trying to decide between the 625 jm, 686p and 325 thunder ranch. can you give me some help?

[AirPhforce]

I CCW with a 327 PD, a 357 mag N-Frame, and with a good holster it's no problem.

[mitsufq360]

you might be able to get away with using 45 super in that, would obviously have to check with the manufacturer

[kishanman1]

This gat good for popin a cap in some ones ass?

[ETM299]

hate to break it to you but the .556 and .223 are the same i own 2 .223's and fire both .223 and .556 no difference

[toomanynamesful]

I'm going to be a gun nerd for a second. I'm an avid shooter and I always believed that revolvers were more reliable than automatics. At this point though, all of my old revolvers, even Colt Pythons have needed some work, usually in the cylinder. Meanwhile I have put way more rounds through a Glock and even a Colt m1911 in less time and they are still kicking. After tinkering with a revolver an ak47 is like playing with Legos. Way simpler and more robust parts are much easier.

[XxXl3urninGXxX]

.45 acp = Automatic Colt Pistol use in semi-automatic too

[Adawg4008]

does .45 ACP mean .45 cal.?

[CrickTroutMaster]

on the .223 vs. .22 subject, if you know how calibers are measured, they are measured in hundred's of an inch thick. this means that the bak of a .22 bullet(the bullet that is shot, not the bullet shell) is .22 hundredths of an inch think. a .223 is only three thousands of an inch thicker. there's a much larger powder charge however.

[Bullittstable]

@conman7997 At home defense distances shot does not spread quickly enough to mean a sure hit. It is very feasible to miss at close range. it only adds a small margin of error over a single bullet. Terminal ballistics are devastating though, there is no comparison in that catagory.

[joshkkv]

my bro has this gun :P

[EMPIRE0FLIES]

I carry a HK 45 and need a backup that shoots 45's. Killed this one at the beginning. too big:(

[Westerman1]

@EMPIRE0FLIES Taurus pt 145 a 10 plus 1 compact barely larger than the keltec 9

[RichardEllisxyz]

What was that failure of the crane of the 625 range video? Is there a need to "tweek"(Slight mod) for the crane as in using some Threadlock on various screws? There is always SOME need, via experience to modify most all guns in some way.

[AlphaQSilly]

What is the name of the song in the beginning of the video?

[arturo656b]

Nice review, my "Cool" factor= Colt Python.

[aracefan2001]

There's definitely a high cool factor there. I wouldn't mind finding one of those somewhere. Too bad they don't make them anymore.

[mr7thDay]

@aracefan2001 smith and Wesson list it for sale right now on there web site=sku# 160936 4 inch barrel

[buckwheat40]

@aracefan2001 how is the recoil and does it feel heavy? I'm trying to decide between this and the s&w 325 thunder ranch, what do you think

[gmoore9449]

Nice review! Actually, the 625 works very well as a concealed carry gun. The trick is finding a good holster (and the right wardrobe) so that the gun can be carried outside the belt. I was considering the NG until I compared it to the JM on the range. The JM was much easier to control. The NG's low weight absorbs very little recoil energy, which can even cause the bullets to unseat. Also, the aluminum alloy frame does not have steel's tensile strength and can fracture under stress.

[aracefan2001]

Thank you for the feedback. After looking closely at the nightguard, I have to agree. They are just too light. The size is nice. Too bad it's not stainless.

[Mr291229]

@aracefan2001 I notice you said that this revolver is not a ccw option, I think it all comes down to preference, I know alot of people who ccw revolvers and I'm one of them, I ccw my 357 magnum Ruger GP-100 4' barrel and I don't have any problems with ccw it, well I've been carrying heavy guns for a long time since I was working in private security.

[stradawhovious]

@gmoore9449 as far as the holsters, I have an IWB from a place in MN called Side Guard Holsters for the JM...... Very concealable, very comfortable. Highly recommended. I have one of his for my 1911 and S&W Sigma as well. Sometimes I forget they are there.

[buckwheat40]

@gmoore9449 hi, have you fired the 325 thunder ranch, i'm trying to decide which revolver to get . and was the 625 fun to shoot, how is the trigger pull and feel , thanks

[gmoore9449]

@buckwheat40 Sorry --- never had the chance to shoot a Thunder Ranch.

[theWHIPLASH]

Very nice gun

good review

[aracefan2001]

Thank you. I love the gun, and I'm glad you enjoyed the review.

[jmkpns]

Can this revolver take the 185 grain 45ACP+P ammo because they warn about +P ammo in some semi-auto pistols?

[torchss]

Yes, it will handle all factory +P .45 acp loads. However, +P loads will excellerate wear, regardless of the firearm. Use them sparingly.

[jasper12342]

i want 1 sooooooo badly :(

[rumbo84]

lol siren in background

[aracefan2001]

haha, yeah, I live in an area that a lot of ambulances pass through

[MorsamMosa]

Is the grip plastic?

[aracefan2001]

The grip is rubber and made by Pachmyr. I can't recommend the Pachmyr Decelerator line of grips enough. They're extremely comfortable.

[Southern661]

Try the 165 grain .45 +P traveling at around 1200 FPS. Your revolver cylinder should be about to handle it.

[Danil1911]

im going to buy this gun !

[raamin112]

what bullets does a 45 revolver take can sum1 send me a pikture or sumfin

[MrPaulrzastud]

ROTFLMFAO *FAIL*

[MrRoorify]

it takes .45 caliber, DUMBASS! ANDL EARN TO SPELL, DUMASSES LIKE YOU ARE THE KIND WHO SCREW WITH LAWS AND MAKE GUNS PROHIBITED IN THE FIRST PLACE DUMASS

[raamin112]

loool ure funny knowin i cant catch u cuz its internet lool keep up the good work pussy , trampp loool u actually makin me larff sonnnyy jimm im from london we dnt have shops n stuff i jus wanted to kno i was confused looooooooool ure funny doeeee pum pum likerrr

[chavman056]

GF spelling.

[Fishaaaaaa91]

You cannot be that dense. If you need to look at it, look it up. You're not an invalid

[leawise]

theres six of them sitting in the background within the first min of the video.....

[RichardEllisxyz]

It is a five inch barrel, not a four inch!

[RichardEllisxyz]

Being built on the big 'N' frame the 625 won't be subject to frame "stretching" nor bad cases of flame cutting on the topstrap. That being the case this weapon with the "mere" 45 ACP, will last a VERY long time...with tens of thousands of rounds...or???

[taurus1911357]

Comparing the 22lr to the 223 and say there the same is like saying 38 special and 357 are the same is wrong there two different animals theres a big difference between the two

[heal22]

my grand father had a 45 revolver before i thinks its called a bulldog

[taurus1911357]

Get a Rossi less money 357 Mag 6 rounds and reliable gun

[Tanfoglio1978]

Do you need the clips to load the revolver?

[btistabomb126]

yeah i shot it yesterday the clips are a pain

[Ratttt]

no its a six shooter

[frankinthumb]

i am hoping to get this soon how smooth does the double action feel?

[aracefan2001]

It's very smooth, but a bit heavy, especially if you're used to single-action autos.

[sueycidal93]

hehe i think you can get a .22 adapter for this correct??

[mastercrowly]

how's the recoil?

and do u need some kind of license to carry a co2 powered pellet pistol?

[sueycidal93]

yea. hit someone jsut right with a bb gun even, and you can still killthem. hit an artery and theres a chance you can break through it

[Unrealism64]

Well, there is no license required. However, if you are seen with it in public, it can easily be mistaken for a real firearm and put you in a sticky situation. It falls in the same category as a concealing a knife.

[Tanfoglio1978]

nice review, I want one !

[aracefan2001]

Thank you for watching. I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed if you picked one up.

[esegal01]

nice review, nice beatz. So fresh, so clean...
