The 625 in the pics is set up for home defense as back up to an AR15.
It is all the rage to have handguns with a lot of capacity.
I like them as well but some people are not going to train how to use the handgun and fix the problems that are going to happen as far as malfunctions are concerned.
I think this makes for a good setup most people are not going to have to do as much pm work with the setup.
What do you guys think of this around the House.
Thats Bad ASS
Thank you.
It is an effective tool.
Very nice!! Any closeups?
I would as soon have this set up as anything else,and would prefer it over many others. The revolver in the photos is outstanding.
I had a nice stock 5" 625 some years ago but had to sell it. Man I wish I had it back
Great looking gun! The 625 is one of the few handguns that I want to purchase.
That is awesome.
What holster is that for the 625?
Good all business looking revolver.
Thought about using the C&S rear sight? I sure like them on my defense revolvers. Nothing to break or snag.
Cant argue with the choice of secondary weapon, but I do have one question. How loud is the rattling from all those loosely stacked moon-clips on your battle belt?
low budget/old school version

Nice!
Sweet
Nice looking revolver. I saw a really neat rig for moon clips a few weeks back at a USPSA match in Fairbanks. It was a magazine for your moon clips. YOu reach to the same place and grab a moon clip and the next one is pushed forward by the spring. Worked good for him.

Love the gun, but I hate those grips. Nills work best for me. Are you running a stock mainspring with that setup? With the deadblow effect of the moon clips, I’d want a heavy primer strike for defensive loads. Particularly if those are factory Gold Dots. I’d also ditch the ILS or at a minimum, grind the locking tab off.
Nice work as usual.
That’s a nice wheel-rig and I like the carrier for the reloads. Nicely done.
In the 90’s I carried a 4" 625 on duty for a few years. I could carry 2 full moons in each speedloader pouch so ended up with 24 spare vs. the 12 for most revolver guys. I would still feel quite well armed with that set up even today.
I forgot to ask…is that speed-loader rack a custom one-off, or production?
I’d rig my J-frame 640 with that set-up. Nice work.
I will try to answer the ? about this rig and gun.
The moon clip holders are factory and if you would like them you can get them from me.
I build guns for customers as thy request I try to help them along the way and give them advice as best I can.
Not all guns have the same purpose in the customers mined so it will not be the same gun all the time.
Rig gets a 10/10 on the cool factor. The 625 needs a more durable rear sight for defensive purposes as the factory is less than tough. My 681PC was machined for moon clips but I always used speedloaders when I carried it on duty because moonclips are fragile(easily bent) and I have yet to see a carrier that actually protected them from knocks. Bumping into something in the night is enough to bend a clip and bind up the cylinder upon reloading. That would be bad. JMHO.
