Beautiful gun and very nice that it is a family heirloom.

I inherited a few guns from my Dad. One of them, a Model 25-2, I remember my Dad buying at an open air swap meet when I was a little kid. The transaction included an on-the-spot lesson in the difference between the .45 ACP and .45 Colt, and how this gun could shoot both. I was instantly in awe of the capabilities of that gun. Buying a gun was a rare event for my family, and he was so excited with his new toy. That gun is a sweet shooter and sure brings back wonderful memories whenever I hold it.
