I second that.....never really had a problem loading
full clips by hand and with a variety of unloading
tools available, removal is not a problem either.

I have a 1989 625 with a 3" barrel in .45 acp. This is
what I call my ultimate home defense gun; wife says
the same thing, although, she calls it wrapping her
little hands around the beast.

First two rounds are rat (bad guy) shot followed by
four rounds 230 Gr. hydra shock hollow points. If I
need 6 more (unlikely) then I have a clip of ball
ammo. Reloads in a plink of an eye, even in the dark.

For diversity (ammo and users)the .45 revolvers are
the best.
