Model 25-2 - Christmas Thread

[dmar]

I don't post a lot of photos of my guns, but figured I'd celebrate December 25th with a picture of my model 25-2... Merry Christmas all!

Very nice M25-2.
We don't want it to feel lonely on Christmas.

Here's mine. It's been converted to .45 Colt.

Here's a poor photo of mine. Maybe one of these days I'll learn how to take a good photo...nah

I bought a 25-15 in April, 45Colt. Yes it's newer, but I hold a warm spot in my heart for it. Bob

Here is my 25-2, .45 acp. Extra cylinder is .45 Colt.

I have a Model 25-2 also. I have nearly shortened it to 4" several times. Fortunately, a 4", ACP revolver comes along and saves it!

I'll play....double Holiday gun

Man o man, some real beauties shown above! Santa and Cupid both evidently love that Model 25-2 (especially if you got a BMT loader in your stocking).

Mine is a real treat to shoot 45 ACP in full moons. Love to load 15 to 20 full moons with the BMT at home before hitting the range, so as all time at the range is shooting and enjoying.

Mine shipped on Valentines Day, 1972 to Service Armament Co. Ridgefield, NJ per LOA.

Keep on shootin these beauties.

I have one also.

25-2's were meant to be used.

Zombie thread "updates"

After posting this morning I realized that although this is a 5 year old zombie thread....the subject and intent never grows old..so I say...keep em coming!

Great pics, great guns, great stories...ya gotta love this Forum.

Years ago before I concentrated on Model 29s I had a few 25s. Extremely accurate and mild shooting,they became my favorite shooters

 

[mbliss57]

Here's mine.

Dates to 1979 unbelievable accurate!
Bought it from a local forum member 2 years ago. He also included a hone made moon clip loader and unloader. It's not much to look at but it works great. A labor of love.

A 25-2 was on my 'grail list' for quite awhile until I got one from a forum member here, near perfect shape. Has the older 6.5" barrel.

Like me, you may grow bored with it. It's so accurate it's hardly any fun.

 

[shrade]

Here is my contribution to the 25-2 Christmas thread: first is a 6-1/2" with the box and my shooter a 6".

4" barrel? Not many originals like that!

So nice to see this post come back around, and to see some more pictures of folks' Model 25s.

I logged onto the forum and was confused by all the likes in my "notifications," as I hadn't really posted anything in a while. I clicked, and there's my old post. Glad it came back around, and more people are putting up pictures of their 25s, they're awesome revolvers!

Haven't shot mine in a long time, since before my original post. I'll have to drag it out and shoot it. It's in beautiful condition, nice blueing, and has one of the smoothest actions/triggers of any of my Smiths. Also have the presentation case, manual, etc. Really love this gun.

Maybe we can make it an annual tradition to revisit this thread and have folks post their Model 25 pictures on Christmas..l

Happy New Year to you all.

Pre 25

Here's a pre model marked 25 that was a great find for me on this forum! A first year production gun shipped on my birthDAY(not year) 16 Sept 1955. Also received a letter with the gun and it was written by Mr. Jinks on 16 Sept 2015.
