Ooooh man! want one! wish S&W made a 45 Colt!!!! that’s my drug of choice

Smith and Wesson made many Model 25s chambered for .45 Colt.

lol! they had a C96 with near zero bluing, but bore was clean and bright. Was a Bolo and they wanted $1200! too much

That's actually a good price for a mechanically sound Bolo.

what you guys think about the S&w 1917

Love them!

 

[J-Bar]

What do you think of the new Model 29? with the lock

I can't comment. I never owned a 29, don't own any with the lock, and only have three that are not pinned (post 1982). I like the oldtimers.

I was going to offer $1,000 for the Bolo but it was already gone… ooowell! can’t get them all. I did get a perfect condition American Crest Luger in .30 for $1500… they were asking $1700

It has become one of my favorite revolvers.

Dang those look nice! shoot some BP load out of it!

I don’t do BP. At least not in cartridges. And I wish I had “those” model 25s, but alas, that is two photos of the same gun.

What did you pay for the bad boy(s) lol?

 

[PapaG]

The M17 is the K22? did they make these in 38?

As the K38. There was a K32 also

Before tax and fees it was $940.
Here’s a photo the day I bought it.

 

[StrawHat]

anybody else a fan of taper thin barrels, and no full barrel lug?

Well, now that you ask!



Several more have arrived since this image was made. These are all 45 ACP.

what you guys think about the S&w 1917

You tell me.



Again, all ACP.

Okay, only the bottom 3 are 1917s, one military and two commercial. The upper left is a Model 25-2 that I used in competition. The upper right is the Model 22-4 built to be a modern replica of the revolver just below it, the Model 1950, Army revolver. The Model 1950 is one of the rarer Models produced, only 3976 were made.

[Pat Riot]

Uh…no.

I wanted a model 25 in .45 Colt for a long time before I found that one. It’s not going anywhere.

Perfect background for that gun. Should be called the number 2. Seriously though, you need a less pretty and affordable Model 28. Same smooth action as the Model 27 minus the beautiful finish. I bought one last year and overpaid at $900 but you could do better.

You don’t have to convince me! Looking right now! my local has just about everything and pre lock Smith is calling me!

I like the older models better, too, but they don't have to be old to be good shooters.

This modern S&W in 45acp goes to the range with me often. It's a great shooter and ammo is NP.
