I bought a new nickel 25-5 4" from John Jovino Co. in the fall of 1983. I sold it a few years back, but, as I recall, it also had the large chamber throats. I'm not much on pinned vs. unpinned, but I'm pretty sure it was pinned. Like my earlier post, oversized bullets that fit the throat worked fine.
I've pretty much lost interest in the .45 Colt, much preferring the .44 Special these days. However, I guess ballistically there is little difference.
