superpelly, Lots of good advice here already. I don't have my holy grail yet but I do have a 625 that I absolutely love. I use nothing but full moon clips. Half moons are ok but twice the bother. Very easy to dump all six rounds together and drop a loaded full moon in the cylinder and off you...

Nicely done! I'm jealous but very happy for you. Any idea what year? Congratulations and thanks for sharing. I've been waiting. Jim

Well good God man! Did you get it? Please share.

Nice pistola. I really like those grips. The blue just makes them stand right out. Thanks for sharing.

So, uh, Tom, I've got this Colt........ LOL!!!!! Sorry. I couldn't help myself. Thanks

Tom, You're KILLING ME!!!! I love that gun! I have a 625 with a 4" barrel that is probably my most favorite handgun to shoot. I prefer blue over stainless which is why I've been jonsing for the 25-2. You bring up a good point about the newer models having tighter throats and I do recall...

Nickle plated guns have never tripped my trigger, but when I saw that Pinto..........OMG! That is beautiful!

Holy Guacamole! Mr. Fisher, thank you for this information and congratulations on snagging that one. That to me, looks perfect with that barrel length. However, with this new data, that puts it right out of my league financially. I am not a collector. Merely an accumulator. I would definitely be...

Now there we go! I've been waiting for some opposition! I've seen a 5" 25-2 with my own eyes, so whether it was factory or not I don't know on that particular gun. I do know that 5" barrels are somewhat rare on smith revos. The Colt SAA is now the official gun of Arizona and that kind of makes...

Here's a hypothetical question for you and yes, I just may be out of my mind. Knowing that I am asking a group who's primary interest is Smith and Wesson firearms this may prove interesting. Here's the situation. I have been wanting a Model 25-2 for a long time. Preferably one from the 60's and...

Tom, Yep, I've done business with Nelson before. Been a while but he does crazy good work. A unique individual indeed. A great guy. Nice looking piece there. Thanks and take care out there! Jim

Oh did I post too soon! It arrived today! Fit and finish is beautiful and gives that hand filling feel to the smaller magna grips on my pre-model 28. Thank you Tyler Manufacturing for delivering an excellent product and I apologize for my impatience! Now I need to set up an account to post...

And another week goes by.....

That's encouraging news. Thanks!

I sent an order for a grip for my Pre-Model 28 on 1/5/12. The check cleared on the 10th. Today is the 19th. Nothing yet. According to their site, that piece is in stock. Hopefully by this weekend. Jim
