I got this a couple months ago in a trade with a good friend for a factory reworked 1st Gen SAA I had. He traded me several guns, including this one, for the Colt. This is a fantastic shooting 25-5. I've never measured the throats since it shoots so well, but I would hazard a guess S&W got them right on it. It isn't perfect cosmetically, but it is darn nice. The haziness of the nickel is Ballistol, with which he liberally coats all his guns and it doesn't wipe off easily for pictures. :) He had custom stocks on the gun, which I did not get in the trade. I added these 70s era Magnas that I had in my stocks bin.

The 4" nickel 25-5 is one of the harder Model 25s to find. Tempted as I am to kee it, if I hadn't needed the dough to pay for a TLA, I would have never sold the Colt, so I need to get my cash out of it. $775 shipped from my FFL to yours.
