ATTICUS,

You have done well, my friend. What a fine firearm,
and a beautiful pic I might add! The 1955 target
model 25-2 is one firearm that has always eluded
me; as I never could seem to find one. Enjoy-

Best Wishes,

Thanks. I borrowed the pic from the previous owner though. For some reason I always tend to move available funds toward a new/different gun instead of a camera. :)

Zorro: The FFL I used for delivery of the M25 has a Texas commemorative M29 in his case that was calling my name- unfortunately, I've traded about everything that I'm willing to trade...I think.

This one, and the M28 I just got, should keep me as content as I can get for awhile.
 
Oh, Atticus.....

You have caused me a serious bout of lust and covetessness.

I had to sell mine in an attack of poverty occationed by the onset of a wife.
 
A fine piece o machinery like that brings a tear to my eye when I see what's on the market today. :)

Enjoy your new old piece! :D

"Ah, jeez...
It's been too long since I've bought a gun.
I miss it."

Me too. It's been at least TWO WEEKS for me!

:D
 
Atticus....

You and Mike Irwin seem to have a prepensity for finding nice older Smiths. How can I do the same???

BTW, still looking for info on your Model 15, but no luck yet.
 
FPrice: I found this one while searching Google.com for something else. There seems to be an abundance of old S&W's around here though- probably got something to do with the Appalachian economy. I had to pass on two old snubbies at a recent flea market that were pre -# and LNIB for under $300 -nearly killed me.
 
Frosty,

Once a year, at the summer solstice, I sacrifice a Colt Python to appease the Gods of Ancient Smith & Wesson.

If they receive my offering favorably, they allow me to find well-priced, older S&Ws in good to unfired condition.
 
I lucked up last November and got a Model 25-2 that is just like yours...LNIB condition, 6.5-inch bbl., etc. It is the most accurate centerfire handgun I own. I am sure you will be pleased with your purchase.
