The 45 Colt does not have recessed cylinder holes,magnum calibers had them.

The pinned barrel ended sometime in late 1981 for the 25-5 about the time the serial numbers changed from the N prefix to the Alpha Numeric type(AAA1234).
The good part of the change came with S&W finally fixing the oversize cylinder throat problem that plagued most Model 25 revolver made with the pinned barrel and had the S and N serial numbers

I have a LNIB 4" 25-5 shipped on the 31st day of 1986
