Be aware that some 625-2 revolvers will fire .45 ACP rounds without the clip and some will not. They're supposed to but there were quite a few made with headpsace variations that won't give you 100% full pin strikes. I have one from 1988 that needs clips and have seen others the same way. I have not seen this with any Model 25-2. You'll find out when you get it on the range.
