Smith & Wesson Model 25 - (Part 2)

Since there was a number of requests for more information on the Model 25, I'll attempt to cover that in today's video.

Timing for becoming friends with a guy who was just starting his gun business could not have been better. In less than five years (1974-1979) I was the proud owner of six S&W revolvers. I retain all of them today.

[@Icarryone]

Excellent!

I inherited the 125th anniversary model. It is a beautiful revolver. It came with a case, the revolver, the book and a commemorative coin.

[@Icarryone]

Excellent!

[@jeffreylocke8808]

I absolutely love the 25-5 S&W 45 Long Colt as it looks like a model 29 but shoots soft.

[@Icarryone]

Agreed! 👍

[@slimfire5475]

Thanks Icarryone for the second awesome video with some great info, Slim.

[@Icarryone]

My pleasure Slim!

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@andrewsteele7663]

[@MIKE-se8ye]

Thank you Sir. A beautiful classic revolver!

[@Icarryone]

My pleasure!

[@tinman8518]

Great informative video! Thanks much.

[@Icarryone]

Very welcome!

[@Paladin1873]

When it comes to N-frame S&W revolvers, I've owned about every caliber available except 45 Colt. It's a very nice revolver, but I've been somewhat ambivalent because they aren't designed to handle hot loads. Mind you, if I came across a good deal on one of these classics I would not turn it down. They are sweet.

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@Gunsandfun1961]

Love it....Great video....

[@Icarryone]

Thanks so much!

[@ThecrazyScotsman]

On my long list of Smiths to acquire

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠🍺

[@renehernandez9207]

Excellent video as always, would you re upload the one with the stunt gun, would love to hear that story again. Thanks

[@Icarryone]

RUclips said it hinted at "self harm" and suggested it be taken down. (Typical PC Culture casualty.)

[@tiltedflip4491]

Good Part Two! I knew it would be.

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@danoneill2846]

The 6.5 " 45 Colt is the best handling Large revolver I ever shot .

[@gunlovingliberal1706]

Thank you👍👍👍👍👍

[@Icarryone]

Welcome 😊

[@Jolsen002]

Looks like a good time. Roll Tide roll

[@Icarryone]

Yeah buddy! 👍

[@richki.24]

that's a nice revolver ...

[@Icarryone]

Yes indeed! 👍

[@linguisticman]

I have the model 57. I believe the grips were finished much better during the era that your N-frame was made. Mine aren't bad, but they don't have that shine. And I see this in other new ones, too.

[@Icarryone]

Probably cost cutting - but why?

[@fredsmith8498]

Man, I wish I could buy one! Thanks so much for the extra video!!

[@Icarryone]

Any time!

[@MrAlleluia00]

Keep making fine videos like this, and the revolver Renaissance is sure to come

[@Icarryone]

One can hope, right?

[@TheRealCobraBurnout]

Yeah buddy

[@Icarryone]

Definitely qualifies for a "yeah buddy!"

[@tmaddrummer]

Oh yes, I know those "pesky" Moon Clips!

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@gunnwild1]

Do you have any recommendations on where I can pick up walnut or rosewood grips for a round butt L frame that aren't overly priced? The places I've looked at want $200 or more for grips with the S&W medallion

[@Icarryone]

Here is a set of OEM S&W RB grips that are affordably priced: www.ebay.com/itm/195943446310?hash=item2d9f23b726:g:PCoAAOSwr6Rk4a6C&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8CvUKMr2p6kMmY9g%2BGfERyiznGKNQpdn7blKC1z%2BmcUBES7kh6MNgFGU0qlMpmO7NRV2C396NFs5p1VLPBgd3Sq%2FZZsTHCuOc46Hyy4PCpHpA0yrdA6vOK6Dyz3HrR4hTx%2FNxgNd2J3htihQMrpq9er2xVrTHg1uhRH5zleeskDlXkSQEWuRCbs0WRu%2FK503oj5QaYugC0ghihvrgMKMROe%2BQ%2BFYGFUN4VWysJf0rFpp8MIRuz4dXUOIM0MzcWwjAsCzSuqNrkdZ%2BAS5iTs4WzUGzIXiVx5HGestIQtaI03a4ekt2G0oi%2B2nTqv3NWJNxg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-KHhoffYg

[@gunnwild1]

@@Icarryone Thank you. I'm actually looking for the type that wraps around the grip frame, the wider style

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Were these model 25's ever rated for +p .45 Colt?

[@Icarryone]

I don't actually recall - I don't shoot +P in it anyway.

[@joepatriot6431]

I had just purchased a model 25-7 and on the barrel it's stamped as 45cal model 1989. It has an unfluted cylinder and is 45 Colt cal. Seems to be a fine weapon and is in VG condition. As I measured, it's a 5 inch barrel. Hope it shoots as well as it looks. PS, I got this for $750 which I felt was a bargain.
