I am the proud owner of a Smith and Wesson Model 25-5, nickle plated, six inch barrel .45 Colt revolver with target grips. I call it my "Great Silver Gun".
I purchased this revolver in 1984 on my first leave from the USMC...I wore my dress blues when I bought it. This and the fact that it was big, shiny and heavy and was the only one in inventory..no one wanted it. I will not say how much I paid for it, but let's just say a REAL good price.
I still have that revolver in it's own special case. It was the first revolver I ever bought. It is very special to me, and will go to my oldest when the time comes.
I have fired it hundreds of times and have gotten to the point that I could call my shots at 100 yds with it. It has never failed or disappointed me.
Any problems with this revolver are news to me. I swear by it and often carry it concealed (albeit with a large overcoat...how did Clint Eastwood do it in a suit?)
