I tried to get interested in .45 colt a few years ago with a SAA Taurus. It shot pretty good shotgun patterns at 7 yards. I put it away.

I bought a Rossi Puma '92. Lots of fun, but not a pistol.

I had a client give me a Taurus .44 Mag that I never shot. Traded it at a gun show for a Ruger 4 5/8" .45 Colt/ACP convertible. Really started enjoying the round.

Bought a S&W 25 Classic, 6.5" nickel last February. It has a lock. Chamber mouths are good, and it is a tack driver. I shoot mostly 6.0 Red dot under 200 gr lswc.



I found a good deal on a 25-13 Mountain Gun.



Decided I needed one of the older guns without a lock. 25-7



I've put Wolff spring kits in them and been slicking up the internals. The 25-7 had need of a shim on the hammer strut from my smith to stop the drag on the frame.

My 25 Classic is accurate enough to bust clay birds on a birm at 60 yards. Not every shot, but often enough to make it fun.

I've also bought a 5" SS Ruger Bisley as well. Really enjoying loading for these guns.
