Terrible accuracy using .452" bullets. The common diameter offered...
If it's not accurate, it's just a pretty T O Y..

These shoot like a laser with .452 bullets.

Snapping Twig is correct. I had two 25-7s, which is simply the 25-9 before some small modification. They were anything
but a "pretty toy". I sold both of them (sigh) to members of this forum.
The 25-7s and 25-9s are about as close to the perfect .45 Colt revolver as I've run across. The 5-inch barrel was perfect for me. It seemed to give a balance to the big N-Frame that a longer or shorter barrel does not. The only .45 Colt revolver I could shoot better than the 25-7 was an Old Model Ruger Blackhawk single-action. I can't think of another double action revolver in .45 Colt that I'd rather have. No, not even one of the newer Rugers.
If I ever have the spare money again, I'll have me another 25-7. I have a special pair of smooth footballs just waiting in the drawer for one.
