No doubt. Great collection in a scarce caliber! Thanks for showing those.

In the mid 1980's, I went through 4 25's. 2 dash 2's and two dash 5's. they were a 4 inch and a 6 inch of each. When I was all said and done I didn't keep any of them long term. They were tying up about $260 of my hard earned cash and 4 kids wanted to eat for some reason! But I remember shooting Federal 225 grain Hollow base, hollow point swc's that I bought at K-Mart for around $6.99/50. The dash 5's both loved that ammo! A 6" diameter sapling takes about 100 rounds to get cut down behind your target! (take closer to 200-250 with 357!)
The only 45 cal N-Frames I have now are a 625 Series of 1989 and a 1917 Brazilian contract. With lead bullets they remove trees much better than with FMJ!

Beautiful guns. Can you please tell us what models we are looking at ? More photos please if possible. Thank you for sharing with us.
OP
The heavy barrel is a 1955 Target, one of~15 made in .45 Colt
The other three are 1950 Targets. About 200 made in .45 Colt

Kinda hard to beat 4 of a kind! And if a tie-breaker was needed, the condition of those would win, hands down.

You sit at the high rollers table.
I'd feel blessed with just one.
congratulations on a terrific hand.

Back in 1982 I bought a 25-5 (45 Colt) for $275 then traded it for a standard Colt 1911 even up. I've been through several 1911's and still have 3, but have never had the opportunity to buy another 25-5. (I have bought and use a 25-2).

I have a model1950 45 acp. S/N S126146. Any idea when it was made? Thanks.
According to SCSW#4 your serial number would fall into 1954. They started with S103000 and ended with S139999.
Hope this helps.
