Pistol racks are in the Brownells catalog.
They come in 4 or 6 gun and a version that stacks on itself.

The 625-7 6.5"

Jerry I seemed to remember someone else had one too. It is a beast , and power ported to boot.
Have you ever fired any full power loads to actually make use of the port?

Also ,, my 625 will readily chamber 454 Casull, a very dangerous proposition if someone wasn't paying attention!

I sure would like to find a 625 classic 5 inch barrel and just swap them out.
OR ,,maybe Lynnie would like to trade ??

Regards ,Allen

 

[Joni_Lynn]

No thanks, Lynnie likes her 625 Classic just as it is.
I bet setting off a 454 round would be a spectacular end to a 25 or 625.
Call S&W and see if they have any 5" barrels left. Get the product code first though. I don't know where the box for mine is or I'd get that for you.

Here's my current favorite 45 Colt:

A 4" Redhawk.

 

[Murlin Smith]

I agree with the previous posters concerning the accuracy of the 25-7. I wouldn't part with mine, though I'm not thrilled with the rubber grips or the unfluted cylinder. Some day soon I'll find someone who can furnish me with a Magna-style set of grips (I have small hands, like EK had) that'll convert the thing to square butt.

$850 too high.........

You are not getting my 25-7 for $850!!! Sure is a good thing that Smith makes so many versions and variations as I personally love the five inch barrel and the unfluted cylinder. The Longest Coltest is the coolest.............IMHO Sprefix

 

[Snapping Twig]

I have one and it's the pistol I use when I want to feel good about my marksmanship. They flat out shoot!

Here's Mine

[/IMG]

I looked at a 25-7 at the last gun show. It was priced at $800. I paid, if I remember right, about $500 for mine several years ago. The price has really gone up on this model.

 

[Swampgas]

I am fortunate to own a 25-7. My father got tired of me drooling over his, so he gave it to me. I don't see myself ever parting with it.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

I bought mine back in 89 when Smith was into the gun of the month mode.I tossed the hogues that came on it and replaced them with smooth Smith targets. Mine's not for sale at any price.

BTW: I just pulled out my copy of the 1990 Guns & Ammo handgun annual. In it is an article entitled "After The Flood" about all the new S&W guns being produced. The 25-7 is promninatly displayed.

Product Code: 100924
Caliber: 45 Colt
Barrel: 5"
Qty. produced: 2500
Remarks: Sq. butt/hogue grips/unfluted cyl/glass bead finish/lazer markings
Retail price: $439.00

My 25-7 is one of the most accurate revolvers I own. They may have been produced during the "Gun of the Month" era but at least they got ONE of them RIGHT.

IMHO perfectly balanced too.

Model 25-7

I got mine in Jan. 1994 at a local gun show for $360. OTD which wasn't all that cheap then. I had a jones for one after I saw it on the cover of a GUNS mag. in 1989. They really didn't sell well initially but they have found their way into real S&W shooters. Mine wears S&W smooth factory targets.....really sorry I don't have pics.

IIRC, John Linebaugh really likes this model and carries it regularly.

I've got one and it is the most accurate revolver I own. Paid 350 clams 10 years agoand 850.00 sounds steep.

Joni Lynn,.... are those grips Herretts Jordan Troopers?

 

[Inspector-Callahan]

25-7

I was the guy that someone mentioned earlier that picked the last one up here in the sales forum a few weeks ago. I did see these go for around $500 several years ago but I never seem to buy things when there cheaper .

I was able to pick it up with box in 99% condition. There are a finite number of them in circulation.

articles etc

Mike or Bob,

I'd be very interested in reading or seeing any covers, articles, etc if there is any way to photograph them.

Thanks

[Inspector-Callahan]

OEM Grips?

What were the original grips offerred on this model? Hogue Monogrip or Pacmayr gripper's? I've seen photo's of each?

Was this model offerred possibly during the time period when S&W transitioned to the Hogue Monogrip, so there are examples of both?

Hmmmm.

[Mike SC Hunter]

Hogue mono-grip is original issue.
Ironically I've never seen another in the flesh for sale since I bought mine. And unlike my stainless guns the lazer markings remain sharp and clear on mine.

 

[bwickens]

Jeez! Thanks for bringing up forgotten regrets! Coulda' bought one back then for $445 but didn't. It was the ONLY one I've seen in the flesh, so to speak.
