In today's market of pre-lock S&Ws that will never be available again ... the only answer is, "What is it worth to you?"

Not a shoulder holster ... but you may want to consider a John Taffin inspired rig from Rusty Sherrick

Great gun, Dueeast. As Barney would tell you, the only concern with this model are the cylinder throat diameters. Some are oversized, which may require a larger than .452 bullet to get decent accuracy. Most 25-5s will fall into the .455"-.458" range. The unpinned barreled versions later in...

Thanks for passing on the info ... Man, I can remember when they were practically giving these away after silhouette shooters started experiencing unlocking cylinders under heavy loads. Endurance package was the cure.

I put one on my 696 ... I had it installed by a local smith. But if you have the tools and patience, there is no reason you couldn't do it yourself. I really like this sight and may install it on more of my flock.

He who waits ... Ditto ... 25-9 is best in show for .45 Colt S&Ws. I've owned two 4" and one 6". Have only seen one 8 3/8" and the price was twice what I was willing to pay. $650 is a fair price and you may never have another opportunity to own this particular version. If you like it and...

May I suggest .... SDM Fabricating

Roger that! I wanted a Ruger Bisley Hunter in .45 Colt when the Hunter first came out in .44 Mag plowhandle form. Never thought they would make it in Bisley .45 Colt form, so I sent it off to Bowen for a conversion. After buying the Bisley frame, paying for the rebore, labor, etc., I had over...

Thanks, guys. You mean something like this? MSC Item Detail

Keep it factory ... As much as I like custom work, it is expensive and you will never recover you money. Even if you do not plan to sell your jewel, it will be worth more to your heir if you leave it stock. There are barrels available if you are patient. Here's one that did not sell recently...

What sizes do I need for .44, .45 ACP, .45 Colt? Is it more cost effective to buy a kit? Thanks for any recommendations.

Another happy 25-9 owner (BFR04XX) -- a 4 in. Had another 4 in. and a 6 in. but sold them. The 25-9 is the apogee of pre-lock .45 Colt development by Smith & Wesson.

Yea, locks suck ... only old Smiths and new Rugers for me.

Skip, Is there a "here's what you need' reference to get started boolit casting in the right manner? Thanks, JT

Another vote for the FBI load -- 158 gr LSWC +P -- only w/o the HP.

Good choice ... my favorite S&W J-frame CCW.

442 ... stealthy black, non-reflective ... matches black socks on ankle holster ... no issues with finish after several years.

Top drawer as usual Doc. Ham Bowen Bowen Classic Arms is a fine Southern Gentleman and one of the best gunsmiths on the planet! He has taught gunsmithing here at Montgomery Community College - NRA Courses. Since S&W went the way of the lock, Ruger is now my go-to gunmaker for great new...

+1 for Boyt BOYT HARNESS COMPANY, LLC

Don't know what dash 629 you have or the barrel length of your 29-2. But I can assure you that you will regret getting rid of either. What would compel you to sell a such a desired gun anyway? I would save the 29-2 as a trophy gun (light use) and shoot the bejeez out of the 629.
