Beautiful revolvers! The .45 Colt is my favorite handgun cartridge and I own but one (yes, only one) model 25. Its a 4" model 25-5 that I bought new in 1986. It is the very last gun that I will ever part with. I also own several Ruger SA 45s and a Marlin 1894. Great thread! Makes me want to spend money, lots of money.
