Ran across a model 25-5 61/2" barrel. Just the gun no box. Very nice,I would rate it 95% +. Owner is asking $1150. I know they aren't that common, but trying to get an idea about a fair price.

A fair price is one in which the buyer and seller part happily...

Hard to find any N frame these days in decent condition for less than $1k, and those in 45 Colt even less so. I'd negotiate a little but without seeing it that sounds like a fair price to me assuming it has the original target stocks with it.

25-5 in 6.5?? I’ve seen plenty of 6” -5 but never a 6.5.
I’ve only seen a 25-2 and -3 in 6.5.
Are you sure it was a 25-5?
If so… decent price and I’d jump on it if it were me.

I'm asking the owner to double check the barrel length. It's possible that it's a 6" .

SCSW 5th Ed says the dash-5 available in 4", 6" and 8-3/8" barrels. Most N frames that were available with 6-1/2" barrels had the 6-1/2" choice discontinued in 1979 in favor of the 6". The dash-5's started in 1978. Do you know the SN minus the last two digits, for dating it? 1982 and later also do not have a pinned barrel. Dash-6 (.45ACP) and 7 (.45C) didn't come along until 1988.
Price sounds about right if it's in great condition. I gave $1200 for a 4" nickel M25-5 about 4 years ago, no box, etc.

I always thought when 2 people walk away unhappy, they probably reached the right deal

The owner checked the barrel is a 6" not 6 1/2".

$1150 sounds about right. Several years ago they were even higher. The revolver market is soft.

I have one that I gave $800 for a few years ago. I would not sell it now for what your seller is asking. The only thing between you and owning it is "air and opportunity"............
I got one for $1089 on Guns international a couple of weeks ago.
Haven’t seen it yet as it’s waiting on shipping but photos looked great.
That said, I hadn’t seen one for that price anywhere..
As the lady said to me when I told here what they’re up for :”Yeah but they’re not selling at those prices.”
25-5 $1089 plus shipping…
Since I haven’t actually seen this one in person yet, and I don’t really know how to grade, I couldn’t tell you whether it’s 92 to 98 or what?.
But it certainly looks good. In all the pics I saw.
Here’s a link to the thread I posted…
