There's nothing about my 25-5 that I don't like. Well, 6" of barrel is more than I'd prefer (though it balances perfectly and looks beautiful) and the grip doesn't really agree with my hand (going to invest in some Hogue grips) and the glossy blue is beautiful, but I'd prefer something more utilitarian on a field gun (I leave fingerprints on it when I fondle it, for crying out loud). Okay, so that's three things I don't like about it (well, two, the barrel length is fine), and they can be easily remedied. All in all, not bad for $300.
Still, it's not enough. I want another revolver. Preferably a big bore revolver, and something I can afford to shoot. So I'm thinking a .45ACP.
There's an old 1917 in workable condition at a local Gander Mountain, but I haven't given it a thourough once-over. I'd prefer a new, modern, strong gun to start off with, with a 4" or 5" barrel (6" is a little on the long side).
So, what should I get? I do plan on getting a .357 one of these days too, but I do love my .45s....
