S&W Model 22 (45ACP)

That's what I need. Looks like BMT has the best tool for loading and unloading the moon clips.
Thanks

Thanks Gerhard, I bought a BMT mooner. My model 22 and my model of 1989 just got a little better.

The long DA trigger pull is something that I actually do better with and one of the main reasons that I prefer wheelguns. When I got my Oklahoma CCW I qualified with my Glock, just so I could carry semi-autos, but 99.99% of the time, I actually carry a wheelgun.

^^^^This! I qualified with a rental 1911A1. I carry wheelies.

this particular revolver is a dead-ringer for the 1950 Army Model, but was made about 15 years ago.

Had several 625's in four and five inch bbl's. For a .45 moon gun they can't be beat. Wish I'd of kept one.....

Hard to beat indeed ... I have a S&W M625 (Model of 1988). Really a great handgun.

My 625 looks like yours except that it is a 4" barrel and sports Pachmayr Compac grips.

One of these days, I'll get around to posting a picture of it.

I used to have a Model 25 round butt 2" (it has been too long, and I've forgotten what the dash number was, but it was a Lew Horton special). My recollection is that it was a pretty sweet shooter, and it fit nicely in the gun pocket of my jacket.

I have a 625 and love it.

I have one of those too!

22-4 Thunder Ranch.

I have the original slim grips, but for my hands the recoil was uncomfortable with them, so I found the larger Eagle target reproduction grips. Much better!

I have a Tunder Ranch as well, like you, didn't like shooting with the original grips. I have Grashorn elk panels which fill the plam nicely.

I bought some auto rim brass which I like better than moon clips also I found some polymer moon clips that are easy to use.

I miss my old 1917. It was a Brazilian contract that was nickle plated. Supposedly for their navy. I loved it. Was one of a bunch of guns stolen many years ago. Looked a lot like this.
