I have been eyeing 625's for quite awhile. I shoot a little USPSA (not well) and would like a 625 for that and the range.
I figure it will be good practice, I can dry fire more than once, save brass easily during live fire and the 625 seems well liked.
Anyway I can pick up a model of 1988 NIB locally, from a private party. It is priced higher than new production 625's but when you factor in the lack of sales tax it will be within 20-30 dollars in price.
It will probably end up at S+W's performance center in the future.
What are advantages, disadvantages to the model of 1988 vs a new production?
I am pretty much sold on the 1988, just wanted to read a little about the differences I guess.
