You did really well, you found a really rare gun, 1 of only about 1500 made . The 625-2 was the first iteration/run of the model 625 (they didn't do a no dash or dash-1). Being 3" I would guess that it's a Lou Horton gun and rare, most were 5" barrel and some 4". Only about 1500 -2's were ever made. So you found yourself a quite collectable piece. I'd leave the finish alone. Factory grips were pachmeyer wrap around rubber grips for it.
There were 3200 of the 3" 625 made. Not all were Lew Horton. Lew Horton ordered 478 of the 3". The only way to know for certain is to get it lettered. |

| Where does the premise that you need justification come from?

| Well those purdy stocks DID need a nice gun to call home, after all. I've sort of done the same recently. First time I came across a box of .224 Valkyrie I just had to buy it to see what it was all about. Next thing I know I'm ordering up parts for a new Valkyrie AR build. Though it's not done yet, it's an example of having the ammo and then needing a gun to shoot it.

| Yeah, I don't understand the justification part. But think of it this way. You could always sell that gun for what you paid for it, and in the future for more than what you paid for it. |

| Im not even in to revolvers, but even for me the only justification needed was in the title; “625-3!” Thats a sweet gun, I don’t have grips but plenty of .45 brass and a set of dies to load it!

| Hey those are nice grips. Can't have them go to waste. But the 625 is a really nice revolver, too. |

I'm not laughing
WITH you
| That is a very nice pre-lock version! I'm not far behind you. I've bought a gun because I had a holster for it once! I love mine. If I ever get back into camping or serious 4 wheeling I'd get a chest rig for it.
