i tried several holsters for the 625(top of the line brands), IMHO i thought the blade-tech was by far the fastest! (clean draw everytime, try one of these "plastic" holsters before you buy any, you'll go with one)..... oh, and my plan is to keep the a 5" for two more IDPA seasons, then just get it rebarreled to 4", the 5" 625 is the hot setup, no doubt about that.... and it still will be with a 4" barrel installed.
