I came across my 25-5 last year. A buddy of mine was in a tight spot and I was able to steal it from him. I told him he could get 3 or 4 times more, but he wanted me to have it.
I have always enjoyed Smith revolvers, but I can't afford most asking prices these days and N frames always seem to be out of reach.
This is by far my most favorite gun.
I think the 45 colt is a great round. I can reload plinkers or heavy hitters. I wouldn't change a thing.
