Is this a question?
That happens to be one of my grail guns.

I believe the M25 Model of 1989 was made in two engineering changes, the -7 and -9, but I could be mistaken.....

Yes, it is a question. Was not wearing my reading glasses when I took the gun for a test drive.

Joni Do you really like those grips or did you just get a great deal on them?

I found a grip that fits my hand, does a superb job of distributing recoil and looks good to boot.
I really like them. All of them.  Lots of them.

Rob:
There were indeed -7 & -9 versions of this gun. I have both and they are identical except for the length of the stop notches ! Very difficult to tell apart unless they are side by side.

Joni_Lynn, what model grips are those? I think I need a set like that on my #58, as the service stocks do not fit my hand well. Thank you.

It is indeed.
This is the pistol I take to the range when I want to feel good about my marksmanship - it's a laser.

I prefer to think of those as "using grips". I have Pachmayr's on nearly all of my revolvers.
Here's a picture of a somewhat "different" .45 Model of 1989:
One of my most used revolvers. Along with the 4" JM Special these things shoot EXTREMELY well.

Better look again. Only rimfires and magnums were recessed. Also, on a M25-2, if it were recessed, you couldn't fire .45 ACPs in half moon clips.

I bought this 5 inch 625-4 Model of 1989 today. $450 at a local shop with 5 moon clips, case, and papers. I look forward to shooting it tomorrow.

Looks like another "Premature senior moment"
Seem to be more frequent when you reach AARP eligilibility....
The older 25 is a -5, one pin, no recess...

I have a 25-7 and love it. Its the most accurate .45 Colt I own and a pure pleasure to shoot. I do have a thing for 5" N-frames.
