It's a whole lot easier to fit a barrel with too long of a shank than one that is too short.

Many women have told me that...................

So it's a frankengun, a Model 25 converted to 44 Magnum. Personally, I think Model 242529 is too long of a model number, but probably something S&W would have done if they had renumbered their revolvers like they did with their aluminum and steel receiver semi-auto pistols.

A M25-2 was a .45 ACP chambered revolver, not .45 Colt. The rest is correct.

Many years ago my brother wanted a 629. Had a 624 so swapped out barrel and cylinder I had. He gave it back to me a few years ago. We are getting too old for that much recoil on a range day. I would swap it back but it shoots better than my 29s.
