Default Learn me about the 25-5

I looked at a Model 25-5 last night. Gun was in excellent condition with a little blue wear at the muzzle. I would have called it 98%, the seller called it 95. Four inch barrel, target trigger and hammer, but Magna stocks. Pinned barrel, although the S/N (N763xxx) put it at 1980, if I read the book right. No box or papers.

I read in anothe thread something about the -5's having a longer cylinder than the older guns? Did I get that right? I have no plans at all to try to shoot "Ruger loads" out of anything, not even a Ruger, so no worries about that. I'm old and don't like recoil. And there was something about bore size variation? Again did I get that right?

I've got a box of 45 Colt ammo that needs a gun.
