Just picked this up. A 25-2 "Jovino type" conversion.













The muzzle has a bit of blue wear and there is some light freckling around the grip frame, but I think it's pretty cool! I paid $550 + tax, but I'm happy with it.

Beautiful! I would love to have one like that. Congrats!

Congrats! BEAUTY!

Nice, I like it.

Just picked up a 25-2 snubbie last week myself. The frame on this one is cut to N frame round on the back strap, but still N frame square on the front stap. Whoever did the cut down did a good job, and the trigger pull is very smooth. Have fun with your new snubbie.

As implied by NotreDame's pic, you guys are Lucky Dogs! (jealously rears its ugly head) $550 is an excellent price for such a rare and beautiful treasure. Enjoy 'em!

I picked up this custom 25 from a forum member here. It's my favorite revolver to shoot.

Great looking 45Wheelguns guys. Snubby .45's are where it is at.

What do you guys use for holsters?

That Is Sweet with a capital "S" !!!! I'll give ya $600.00 for that rusty beater and pay the taxes. Who are the grips made by and are they comfortable to shoot? I like 230 gr. Speer Gold Dots for my 1911 Springer. Have over 4k rds of .45 ACP and after seeing yours I HAVE to have one!

Oop's, forgot that I'm on probation for another 10 months by my sweetheart of a wife and I'm not knocking her as she is my Sweetheart going on 30 years of marriage Sept. 15th. I've exceeded my 2 gun a year purchase limit by 4 investments (guns).

Seriously sir, that is one FINE S&W!!! My snuff laden drool is all over my computer desk and shirt.

CONGRATS!!!

Wow now I want a snubbie 45.Those are sweet!!

Those are S&W round butt combat grips. I think that style was the last before they stopped making them. I much prefer the older ones with palm swells, rather than the flat sided ones, but hey...I'll take 'em!

I like the combat grips, but I have heard a lot of complaints about how the finger grooves don't fit some...guess it just depends on your hand.

Thanks for the compliments and your kind offer to take this boat anchor off my hands, but I think I'll hang on to this one for awhile.

I had one of the Jovino Model 25s years ago and wish I'd kept it. But, I recently found a very cool replacement for it......

I know where there is a Mag-Na-Port 25-2 Snubby Conversion for sale......45 ACP and Beautiful....$749.00 PM me for information......Zebulon

Excellent looking Jovino you have there!

I just recently had Magna-Port convert this S&W model 28.
There is just something special about a snubnose "N" frame!
