25-7 coming home soon!
After looking at several 25-5 and one 25-7 revolvers I picked the 25-7. This is one of the 1 of 2000 made in 1989 .45 Colt with the non-fluted cylinder.
Looks to be in great shape,after talking with the owner, and the price was right. Check in the mail and should see it in couple weeks.
From what I read here and other sources these have a good rep. of being great shooters.

I think you've picked a great revolver. I have a 25-5 in 45 Colt that I really enjoy. I usually take 3 revolvers from my collection each time I go to the range and for some strange reason, the 25-5 seems to be a regular guest.

I had a 25-7 and it was superb. Very accurate with any load I tried. You will be impressed.

Congratulations!! You made a good choice. Just a tidbit of info though, mine shoots about 3 inches high at 7 yards, with the rear sight bottomed out. There have been reports of others shooting high also. The answer is a shorter rear sight, which I do not want to install. It is a really great gun as is, so I adjust. I think mine needs some range time this week. :-)
I hope yours is dead on! Either way, they are a joy and you have an excellent gun. Mine is very well made, and I expect yours to be also!!

Congratulations on a wonderful addition to your Smith & Wesson family
The 2000 pieces of the 5" Model 25 with the unfluted cylinder, product code 100924, actually began at the -7 engineering revision and was produced through the -9 engineering revision. It is unknown where the split occurred
Your fellow Forum buddies that own one of these are all Very Happy with the revolvers.
Yes I know mine is dirty  . . . . I need a new picture
Until I acquired one of the Heritage series Model 25s, this Model 25 was my most accurate but I think the Heritage revolvers' have barrels that are air gauged, I just forgot to what accuracy

A great gun to be sure.
I am very happy with mine. You should and likely do know though that they originally came with Pachmayr grips from the factory.

Congratulations, the 25-7 is a nice revolver. After many years of searching I finally got one at an auction in August. I’ve really enjoyed shooting it since I got it.
