my 25-5
 this is my 25-5 back in the day I bought a new 8 3/8 in then a 4in then one day in another gun shop I found a used 6in like new, so then I had all three. I had them for years and one day I must have had brain cell loss I sold all three. so about two years ago I got the urge for another and found this one. it ain't nice as the ones I had but it will do for now. it has a sel.no. of N8022xx I assume it is around 1980, would that be correct?

Nice Smith & photo! Wish I had an older 1, but bought a 25-15. Has the 6.5" barrel. Changed the stocks to 80's targets. Don't get rid of 25's any more. You may not come across another. Bob

S&W did not ship in serial number sequence but, based on known ship dates for nearby serial numbers, N8022XX would likely have shipped in 1981.
Nice example,

Very nice! I would like to add a 4" 25-5 to my collection. I have a 6" and enjoy it very much.

I fell in love with a S&W M25-5 4" which I wanted as a service revolver as I liked the .45 colt cartridge. HOWEVER I was $20.00 short and the rich guy behind me purchased it.

Beautiful gun! I have a 25-2 in .45ACP that was cut down to 4" and I love it. Feels great in the hand and shoots great too. Congrats!

Most likely shipped around Oct 1981.
