So make sure that the grips you order are for a 625, and not for any generic N frame. This is the kind of thing that a local friendly gun store can be really useful - take the gun in and try some grips on for size. be aware – the 625 version of the N frame – at least the old ones circa 1989 – have a grip frame that will fit a K-frame grip.

The gun was bought used and had already been worked on, but the Wolff spring chopped a good 2-3 pounds off the trigger pull. The extended firing pin was put in because I would always get one light hit per cylinder. $40 woth of parts and an hours time resulted in a 100% reliable 625 with about an 8 pound DA trigger I have an older Model of 1989 5″ 625 and the only 2 thing I did to it was trade the factory hammer spring for a Wolff’s reduced weight and then an extended firing pin from Wilson.

I ordered a set of the smaller Pachmayr Professional for the gun. I like the Pachmayr grips, they make the gun feel all "west coast". Yeah, they’re fucking huge. I mean just enormous.
