    S&W 625 vs. NC LEO Qualification Course

    Hi all! Below is a link to my latest Law Enforcement Qualification Course Challenge video. In this one I'm wheelgunning my way through the the North Carolina course. To see how the big N-Frame fares, check out the video. Then be sure to let me know what you think of it!

    Nice video. Interesting to see what the differences are between different states.
    If it ain't broke don't fix it! I disagree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it to the death! When people fear the government it is tyranny, when government fears the people it is Liberty!

    Love this guys videos. I used a 625 for years for my pin gun. Mine is centerline ported and would tame that recoil.

    Thanks! My goal is to shoot a course from each of the 50 states. One of the reasons for that is to see the differences and similarities between the states in terms of their LE qualification standards. Only 45 to go!

    That sounds like a nice revolver!

    I love it, have not shot pins in years but still shoot it. I run a 255 SWC over WSF and the cases just fall out.

    It appears you made it more difficult than needed at the 25 yd. line. Back in the day, in Michigan, barricade position could be and was supported both strong and weak hand, not standing unsupported. Nice Shooting.

    Thank you! The course description didn't specify if it was permissible to steady the weapon against the barricade, so I decided to err on the "more difficult" side rather than have viewers from NC tell me I did it wrong and took the easy way. Thanks for watching!

    Great video
    You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.

    Thanks for the great video. I still occasionally shoot a revolver for BUG ( back up gun ) matches but since my practical pistol match did away with making main stages revolver friendly over 2 years ago, I don’t shoot it in main matches anymore.

    I subscribed to Mr. Funks channel a while back. It is a pleasure to watch someone who knows what they are doing run a D A revolver.
    Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.

    That's too bad. It seems to me that a good revolver is still pretty "practical."

    On a side note..... Your weight loss video was great too.

    Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. To date, that was the most difficult one I've made.

    HR, enjoyed the video. My old 625 Smith has always been the most accurate revolver that I’ve ever owned. A great pin gun, ZSA and ipsc match revolver. Can’t beat a moon clip reload, just ask JM. Did you ever find a Krag to use for your bolt rifle challenge? Thanks

    I don't do stainless but have a couple 25-2s and three 25-5s that are shooting machines. At my house to earn keeper status a gun has to be accurate. I have sent several 25-5s to trade pile.
