[41 Charlie]

S&W 25-2 (45 ACP) c. 1962.

Just an old model 25-2 chambered in 45 ACP, but this is one of my favorite N Frames. Years back, a fellow Addict help to convince me that I needed this Gun Show find. She dates back to 1962 and has an ‘S’ serial number prefix. She has a 6.5” barrel and the original box. I can’t think of too many things more fun than launching 200 gr. SWCs down Range with this old work horse. By far, the most accurate gun I own. I love to get this one to the range often. In fact, I had her out yesterday. Thanks for taking a peek!

Dang that is a great looking Smith.

Hard to beat a N Frame S&W in blue steel, very nice!

That's a dandy Charlie.

I have one, I think it's an early "N" prefix, 6.5" buried in one of the gunsafes. Makes me want to dig it out.

Oh yeah, these are great with either 45 Auto Rim or Moon Clips. When I get lazy I shoot 45 ACP without the Moon Clips, and poke the empty cases out of the cylinder with a pencil. :roll: Great shooters for sure!

If memory serves, the rifling was shallow in these and cast bullet accuracy wasn’t great.
I remember shooting ball or JHPs in mine and I’m thinking that was why.

Beautiful -- a timeless classic.

Handsome piece!

This one is a tack driver. She’s my most accurate hand gun (ever), and just eats up my 200 gr. LSWC reloads.
