I'd swear that years ago I had a 25-2 in .45 Long Colt. I know it was .45 lc, and U remember it as a 25-2. Like a fool I traded that gun -- one of the most accurate revolvers I've ever owned.

While I have made some trades I was happy with, like most of us I have also made several that in retrospect I can only think, "What the hell was I thinking of?". The one that probably galls me the most is, a few years after I quit shooting bullseye, I sold my Smith Model 41 to buy a Ruger .357...

Hopefully these will help. The gun is not in the best cosmetic condition, but it locks up tight and the action is smooth. I saw it in a pawn shop in Fort Worth for $100 about four years ago, and thought it needed a good home.

A few years ago I purchased this gun in Fort Worth, and know in a general manner what I have, but would like some more specific information if possible. It is a Smith and Wesson Hand Ejector, Serial Number 27XXX. The serial number is on the bottom of the butt of the grip. The barrel is marked...
