Smith and Wesson has a hit with the 625JM revolver. Impressive trigger both in single or double action. Takes 45 ACP on moon clips or 45 Auto Rim cases.

Purchased this revolver 1 year ago. Have been nothing but happy with the purchase! The N frame makes 45acp create very little recoil, very accurate. Finish is excellent, if you’re a sw fan this is an excellent addition to the collection. Put a red dot on it for added range fun. If you can find one get it!!!

As always good service from Buds and Smith & Wesson makes the best revolvers. Shoots out of the box great and if you want to use it for competition it is customizable.

Initially I was concerned. I'm a Semi Auto guy and my last Smith n Wesson revolver had issues, so when opening the cylinder was extremely difficult I thought here we go. However after some oil, and shooting around 60 rnds, things have worked out. I purchased the gun for teaching purposes so I needed a good, sturdy firearm. Accuracy is good. Fit n finish is good. Everything is good.

The gun has a heavy double action trigger. Single action is fine.When I tried to improve the double action pull with a Wolf Power Rib Hammer spring, it would not reliably ignite primers, light primer strikes. Removing spent casings from the moon clips is very difficult, without a tool. Otherwise, shooting 45acp in a revolver is a great idea. I wish someone would come up with way to extract casings without moon clips.

One of the finest revolvers ever made.

This is my new favorite. I love .45 acp being a big 1911 fan. Always had a thing for revolvers and this is the best of both worlds. Being a big gun it is well balanced and easy to sight. The accuracy is second to none. It's a solid gun and tamed the recoil of the .45 very well. I find it has a soft feel. The trigger is very smooth and light. This is great gun for anyone who loves .45 acp. As usual the purchase was easy and shipping prompt from the folks at Bud's.

If you are a .4l5 acp guy, you will love this revolver! I have 1911s that are 45 acp, and I like the bonus of being able to shoot one caliber in both platforms. The 625JM has good sights, grip, and trigger right out of the box, but after a $15.00 spring set the trigger is 6 lbs. double action(VERY smooth), and 3.2 very crisp lbs. single action. Even if you don't change a thing, this pistol will surely be a favorite! ENJOY!

First revolver purchase for me. Typically fast Buds delivery. Gun came out of the box perfect. Immediately went to range and put 100 rounds through it. Easy to handle. Performed both single and double action trigger pulls. Very accurate sights. No adjustments needed. Surprisingly light recoil. Really fun to shoot. Excellent and easy transaction.

Bought this gun in Jan 2017, and have fired about 300 rounds through it. Have been very pleased with it with one exception, and it has satisfied my desire to own and shoot a .45ACP caliber gun without having to revert to a 1911 model, a gun I don’t enjoy shooting due to its recoil characteristics. The 625 eliminated that concern, especially when I use my own reloads. It’s like picking up an ingot of stainless steel, and it’s enjoyable to shoot. My only criticism is that the cylinder release slide button often has to be pushed to its absolute forward-most position with the thumb of my right hand while holding the revolver with my left hand to release the cylinder so it can swing out. I’ve never encountered that issue with any of my other revolvers, and find it irritating. Lubing the assembly hasn’t solved the problem, but it’s not enough of an issue to get involved in sending it back to S&W to fix. Gun should not have been released from a manufacturer with the reputation of S&W in that condition, especially given its price. My dealing with Bud's to obtain the gun was first-rate, as usual.

You cannot go wrong with a S&W revolver. This one is no exception. nice feeling revolver, some heft to it due to the barrel length, but the overall quality makes it worth it. Might be a little heavy for a concealed carry pistol, but depends on the person. If you like the control and impact of the 45acp cartridge and the reliable function and beauty of a revolver like I do, this one's a no-brainer. Would make a great home defense weapon as well. So, this one's worth a second look.

Ordered a S&W 625JM r45 ACP re volver in 45acp and am thrilled how easy the process of purchasing was from Buds's and Mason Gunsmithing who handled the delivery. The gun was brand new and in perfect condition. I am sure that I will buy additional firearms this way because of how well this sale went. What is maybe not known is the front sight can be easily removed and replaced with another site if you do not like the gold dot front sight. I will probably order a Hi-viz for this revolver unless I go with a viper red dot. The trigger for double action is a little heavy, but the single action is very nice. You also get 3 moon clips with gun and I have found both ss and blued worked week and have same inner opening. I have a 629 and the blue and ss openings are different so if you buy a loader you need 2 mandrels or need to drill the inner circle to match ss.

Received the gun from my FFL - went home and put the gun through some double action tests using snap caps. To my surprise I found the revolver would fail to engage the cocking mechanism for the hammer - it would rotate the cylinder but would fail to cock the hammer. This happened several times, especially when slowly squeezing the trigger in double action. I contacted S&W and they sent me a paid return label for FedEx. The gun is being returned as I write this. Finish of the metal on the JM 625 is impeccable compared to some other S&W Revolvers I've bought recently. The tech at S&W said it sounded like a sear slipping. I believe that S&W quality control should have caught this before shipping it out, especially with the price of the gun. I love S&W revolvers but I think the recent surge in sales may be resulting in companies not paying attention to detail. I love the feel, handling and look of the gun and the fact it will use 45 auto - just want to be sure my family can depend on it if that ever happens.

Awesome gun! This was my first purchase from Bud's. It went very smooth and quick. Bud's shipped the gun right away and I picked it up at my local gun shop. Bud's delivered sooner than I expected, I was impressed, thanks Bud's! Please be sure to inspect the gun very carefully. I didn't notice until I had it home that the forcing cone was not cut correctly and the barrel was not square with the cylinder. Also the crown was not cut as I would expect. After correspondence S&W they sent a shipping label and it went back to S&W for repair. They only took 10 days to get it back to me. S&W delivered too! I will not hesitate to be a repeat customer.

I just picked up my revolver today. It is a beautifully made revolver, very solid, locks up tight, and feels and looks brand new. The only problem I had was that the moon clips were not in the case as the description said they would be so I won't be able to shoot it until I can order some online. I am satisfied and will be ordering more guns from here in the future.

Picked up my S&W 625 JM (4"barrel) revolver today from my FFL dealer. The gun exceeds my expectations in looks, balance and features. Ordered the Galco Summer Comfort Inside Pant Holster S & W N FR. 4". It fits like a glove and you can wear it concelaed very easily. I also ordered polymer moon clips for it that are absolutely effortless to load and follwed that up with a purchse of a North Mountain Moon Clip Holder. Thanks

S&W 625 JM (4"barrel) is a very good, well balanced (considering large N frame & big caliber) revolver and the real "Sportsman's War Horse." Unfortunately, as factory made gun, it needs a lot of custom fixes to uncover it's full potential. New spring kit and action job is a Must. Get ready to spend $200-300 on parts & labor for a gunsmith; if you want to make it shoot accurately, and run the trigger nice and smooth. I had one potentially bad issue on my revolver that soared the eye and spoiled the score on the target. Barrel breech face was badly machined with a file (wavy profile, rough surface) and was not square to the cylinder face (gap: one side 0.005 another side 0.010). I’m sending my revolver to a custom gunsmith anyway. Overall it gets 4 out of 5.

Beautifully made revolver. Very solid and locks up tight. In single-action mode, the trigger pull is a very smooth 3.3 lbs. The trigger pull in double action is horrendous. After about 200 rounds, it measures well off the scale (12 lbs max) and is probably in the neighborhood of 15 lbs. I tried to improve the trigger pull with a Wolff spring kit, but all of the reduced-power hammer springs resulted in nearly 100% light primer strikes. A nicer double-action trigger pull will likely require some professional work. But, with a little improvement in the trigger, this will be a great gun. The grips are unexpectedly comfortable and the gold-bead sight is very nice. The revolver has a lot of potential.

Great extras built into this revolver starting with the grips, (which originally I was a little sceptical about) . The target trigger is noticeably more comfortable than a standard trigger . I am very pleased with the brass bead front sight for target acquisition. I am very happy with the gun over all . Especially since I have located a holster from Shoothers connection.
