I sold a Smith 25-7 to a forum member a couple years ago in a flurry to raise funds for another gun and have regretted it ever since and I don't have too many regrets in this hobby. Sadness yes, regrets, no. Sorta' like women.... Anyhow, I digress. I ran across another one for a fair price a couple months ago. Came with the blue box, paperwork and unopened tools which are all nice touches. Since there was a Smith 25 thread going a couple days ago I thought I'd share.... Thanks to a gentleman in Oregon the Keith Brown grips will get used not just looked at. Hard to believe 1989 was 27 years ago.....   |

Beautiful gun you have bought there. Congratulations...

It needs a Bowen rear and a taller front sight...

Those grips look like they have been chewed on by some sort of critter! Must of had sharp little teeth to make those tiny little pointy nibble marks?  Look good on that gun and I like the non fluted cylinder. |

Must'a been one of those pigmys in Oregonian rain forest that file their teeth!

IMHO, the 25-7 is the sweetest 25 ever. I'm not a big Smith or DA fan, but I want that one some day. Hard to find. What are they going for now?

I too have been sort of lusting for one of those for years. Of course when they were more affordable I had no money right? And another of those kick me moments, I went to a gun show years ago looking for one. Found one almost immediately but decided to look the show over first. Yeah, well that didn't work out so well. Gone when I came to my senses and went back for it.

Got woods bummin and target shooting covered with that 25-7. Friend of mine had one and it was all you would want in a 45 Colt!

The 25-7 configuration was also made as the 25-9. One of the tip-offs to the difference between them is the elongated bolt notches in the cylinder, part of the "endurance package".  |

that is a gorgeous revolver and grips! I've never seen a model 25 like it before, was it a special run?
