These 25-2s are great revolvers. I bought mine (blued 6-1/2" bbl, 3Ts, 1973) at a local gun shop about 5 years ago for $695, and never regretted it. I usually take the 25-2 and my M1917 to the range along with a mess of 2, 3, and 6-shot moonclips. They're a blast to shoot, but I think I need to get a moonclip tool to save my fingers! My 25-2 is extremely accurate, and who doesn't like .45ACP?
