625-7 .45 Colt - The Long & the Short of it!

[Grayfox]

Thank you! Nice group of 45s there. Is the bottom right a 25 No Dash? I love the looks of the Schofields, but for some reason, haven't gotten around to buying one.

nah, its a 25-2 .45acp. Great shooter.

Wonder Sights

Yes they are. They have the wonder sights on them. Both came from the same estate.

That was going to be my next question!

Thanks!

Model 25s = Great shooters!

Yeah, I'm sold my 25ND, regretted it, almost immediately and ended up lucking into another one that came with box & Cokes, and as you say, great shooters! Cheers!

That's correct, 170081. I also was told that only 50 of these remained in the states. The accuracy is fantastic. This is 5 shots D/A at 20 yards. I also just picked up a really sweet Model of 1955 in ..45ACP. It's a 1957 gun. Also very accurate.

Thanks!

They are supposed to be from the estate of Kent Lamont. I never did pursue getting it verified though. I have only been out shooting them 1 time with some Winchester ammo-bad bullet jump, both guns had the cylinder locked up after one shot so I shot them single shot!

25 No Dash - Surgical DA @ 5 Yards!

Guy, that is surgical shooting at 20 yards! I love your beautiful 25 ND also! My first one came with the unrelieved grips like yours, which I believe was standard for that period(?).

Here's a poor pic of my previous 25 (sold to a friend), my new acquisition with the Cokes, I haven't taken any photos of as of yet. They are a beast of a revolver & wonderful to shoot!

I debated, for a while, about owning another "one off" caliber. After reading, on this forum, how much other members enjoyed shooting the .45 Colt in their respective models, I was hooked.

This one is in 98% condition, came with a presentation case, which needs to be re-flocked and shoots like a dream. The longer barrels are not generally my favorite however, the results at the range are enough for me. Reloading and shooting cast bullets brings out the best, IMO.

I wouldn't mind finding a 4 inch!

The non relieved target stocks are what prompted me to drive 3 hours to buy the gun. I had hopes that it would be a 1955 shipped gun. Numbers on the stocks date them to 1955 but the gun serial number date it to 1957. Obviously it came home with me anyway.

Unrelieved Targets stocksv- Very nice!

Yeah, I really like them as well. Very classic looking! I've had them stamped and unstamped. Good buy on your part!

I'll join the party. First is a 625-6 Mountain Gun. Second is a 625-7. Both .45 Colt and wearing Ahrends grips.

S&W 625-7 .45 Colts & others! Love that Hunter version!

Kingspoke, thanks for posting. Those are some dead targets.

Thank you, Heinz! I have those puppies all cleaned up for the next session.

Georgia State Trooper - Model 26-1 .45 Colt - Yes!!

One of the most beautiful 45 Colt's I own. 26-1

Very unique and what a beauty! According to the 4th Catalogue only 800 marked as such, and 40 unmarked, contract over runs!

In 5" tapered barrel & lanyard swivel, no less! How cool is that!!
