Here's the gun Skeeter Skelton had built by the Factory back in 1963. Four inch barrel, 3 T's in .45 Colt. Shown with a set of "shooter" grips, it normally wears it's original set of diamond targets. Currently in the Jim Fisher collection, a local Montana boy kind enough to let a couple of retired Montana Troopers shoot it.

Hopefully the above link will allow all of you to see Jim's post regarding his gun. This is the rest of the story , with the Factory letter and some back story on the gun



Fellow SWCA member , HeloMT firing the 25-2.



Your's truly letting off a shot.



Randy and gun owner Jim Fisher afterwards.

Thanks again Jim from both of us for letting us handle and SHOOT such a rare and notable piece of S&W History. To a Skeeter Skelton fan as both a kid and later as a young cop it was especially memorable for me.

The gun will be displayed at the upcoming NRA Show. And is part of a larger display of rare revolvers belonging to Jim and his lovely wife Judy.
