What a handsome looking specimen. The bluing and color case appear to be very nice and the stocks are gorgeous. Congratulations...
 
Wow! "Not a 27 but"..... that's a stunner. The finish is beautiful. And those grips, and the box...... One heck of a beautiful combo!
 
Very nice revo! :D

I'm with you on the "gotta' have" thing, mine isn't as old or in as good condition....

25-2

... but I "had" to buy and they are a nice addition to any collection. You have a high condition N frame with all the candy, that's a winner!:)

I`ve bought many a gun with a lot less justification and a lot weaker excuse.<g>
 
Absolutely gorgeous Sal. Bluing and grips stunning. I have one in the presentation box but she ain't that cute. Talk about gotta have it. The Big HGCA show is this weekend and I bought another Smith and haven't even left the house. Stay tuned for the rest of the story.

Great 25,

Regards

Bill
 
That is just beautiful. I want one! Of course, I would like mine to be a nickel, 4". Hint, hint, hint!
 
Really nice.

I think a S&W revolver in 45 ACP is one of the best revolvers a person can have.
I prefer it over any Mod 27.
 
Diamondback, wonder how Sal is going to react to that "rather have it over a 27" statement. It will, indeed, be an interesting respose I'll bet. Sal, you out there?

regards

Since this thread has included mention of the Model 27, and everyone knows the classic M-27 is the 5" version (LOL), a combination of that perfect barrel length and the M-25, or in this case a pre-M25 "45 Cal Model of 1955", I thought you all might like this photo:

I must confess that shortly after getting this gun and taking it to the range a few times, I returned it to my gun smith to have the Patridge front sight turned into a ramp. That Patridge blade gouged enough leather from every 5" holster I tried it in that I thought one of them would be cut through at the sight track. Need to get a new picture with the improved (for holster use) front sight.

Well done. I aquired my 25-5 this year also. It is close in condition to yours. I love it and have had it to the range several times. They are an attention getter.

Every one is entitled to an opinion and I absoultey can, I understand yours and support your right to say it... :):):)

Now if you will excuse me... I have to go wash my eyes out with clorox..:eek: for just reading this post..;):D:D:D:D

Arrrrrrrrg:D

Best..

Sal
