On Saturday I pick up a Performance Center 625 with a 4" barrel. This is my only wheel gun simply because the semi-auto's feel better in my hand. A good buddy of mine is a revolver fanatic and after shooting lots of his different model wheel guns I decided to order the 625. The main reason I got a 625 was because I shoot and reload lots of .45acp so it was a good choice for me.
A google search on S&W 625 review brought up an article that gave a very favorable review of the JM 625 with the exception of accuracy. Here is a quote from the article

[ Almost all were in the three- to four-inch range for five shot groups at 25 yards. /QUOTE] This was the kicker for meI called the Performance Center, and a couple of guys there took a Miculek 625 and set it up in a Ransom Rest, testing with the .45 ACP ammo they had on hand, Federal Hydra-Shok and Speer Gold Dot. An hour later, I got a call back. They, too, were getting three and four inch groups at 25 yards.
It turns Out that the Performance Center puts a minimum acceptable group with this gun at four inches.
Now this has me worried. I am an accuracy junkie and would think this gun should out shoot my Baer. If the best this gun can do I am going to be disappointed to say the least.
