Model 37-1. I really like the feel of the square butt on this little J:

very nice, i always like how the alloy and the steel 'toned' out over time on the blue airweights

nice gun burk. they went to the standard thumb piece in 66 and got rid of the diamond grips in 68. yours is a nice example of a niche gun.

This one's probably the most fun item in the safe: 625-4 "Model of 1989"

Great gun ... and really nice picture!

I have a 625-2 "Model of 1988". They are a lot of fun to shoot AND you don't have to chase brass all over the range.

Model 629 (no dash) that was tuned and ported by the late great Larry Kelly.

Thanks.
I don't know if they made the 625-4 in 45LC or not. I've only seen a few and they were both 45ACP/45AR.

They made a 45LC version with a 5" barrel in a fairly limited run under a model 625-5. It was marked "Classic". I believe about 1000 were made in the mid 90s. By luck, I came across one last year and bought it before I knew the history of it.

this thread has only rekindled my want for a 45 acp revolver. i was looking at the 1917 model brazilian contract guns but i think i'll step up a couple hundred and get a 625 or a 25-2 or 'model of 1955' or...
