Smith & Wesson Model 25-5 (Part-1)

[@Tymtravel-wz6di]

Yes on the 25-5! And all the other selections. You gave us a couple glimpses into the collection years ago. I’m 70+. Hurry up I don’t want to miss the fun. Best presenter on here.

[@Icarryone]

Will do - and thanks!

[@mkshffr4936]

One of the greatest handgun cartridges of all time. Original 40 gr 255 gr load running close to 1000 fps in a full size SAA packed a lot of killin'.

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@andrewsteele7663]

Thank you for reminding me of the one Smith & Wesson I don't own, Cheers

My late Uncle had 2 model 25-2's in .45 acp , one of which he had the 6 1/2" barrel cut down to a little over 4 inches !!! What a sweet shooting revolver !!! Yes ,being a Boomer and former late '70's Rookie LEO I too love my revolvers owning several !!!

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@richki.24]

love these wheels guns ...

[@Icarryone]

Me too!

[@fredsmith8498]

Another fantastic video! I so enjoy your videos. Looking forward to the next one!!!

[@Icarryone]

Thanks Fred!

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

I've been scared to death to shoot it, but I trust you enough to know that if you say the recoil is not that bad on it, I would give it a whirl. I've had many guys offer to have me shoot their 45 long Colts and they say it's not that bad but I've been fooled before by several guys! I think they just like to give a woman a hard time sometimes. But my favorite gun is a 1911 in 45 ACP and they said if I could shoot that I sure as heck could shoot the 45 long Colt Thanks for another great video. I always look forward to your videos.

[@Icarryone]

Normal factory loads, or their reloaded equivalent, generate about the same amount of recoil as a .45acp.

[@stevemolina9035]

A 1911 .45 ACP lady? A girl after my own heart! Having owned a Model 25 with a 3 inch barrel, load that N frame, grip it good and you'll get a kick out of it! (No pun intended); Enjoy!

[@JimD410]

Beautiful revolver.

[@Icarryone]

Thank you!

[@jeffryrichardson9105]

Love the history and nostalgia stories!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸

[@Icarryone]

At my age, nostalgia is about all that's left! 👴

[@jassibrar8418]

I love these old school revolvers!😮

[@Icarryone]

Me too! 👍

[@cmonsterz]

I’d definitely like a feature length video on the 25!!! This video definitely pushes my nostalgia buttons quite well!

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@joepatriot6431]

I recently acquired one in the model 25-7, Model 1989 45 cal. It has the unfluted cylinder in 45 Colt, 5 inch barrel. A bit more rare than some of the M25's. I believe there were only around 2000 produced. So far it has been a great revolver. Very accurate. It seems to be a cousin to the model 25 Moutain gun which was started one year before the 25-7. I found this gem for $750 in like new condition.

[@gunnwild1]

I would agree with you that revolvers are gaining popularity again. With all of the newer rimfire revolvers from Ruger, Diamondback, and Heritage Arms, I see a lot more revolver videos

[@Icarryone]

I'm noticing the same thing!

[@dawg141]

Great Video!!! A few years ago, I started shooting and buying revolvers again. I Love the S&W revolvers from the 70s and 80s.

[@Icarryone]

Me too!

[@palerider7171]

A full review of the 25-5, yes please and thank you.

[@Icarryone]

I'm gearing up to do just that!

[@randyguapo7793]

Model 25 Colt .45 Cartridge Is A Fabulous Gun.

[@chrishelms1967]

Still waiting on the paperwork that adds me to your WILL, 😂😂😂

[@Icarryone]

Don't jet the shovel out just yet!

[@EdTom82]

I picked up a 25-2 a few months back. I'd like to get the dash 5 model if I ever can find one. My 25-2 is about 1979-80 vintage or so and might be the handsomest revolver I have (and it even came with leather holster by Alfonso's!). The blued steel looks like polished obsidian. It's a pleasure to shoot, especially with 200 grain SWC's. Great review; keep 'em coming!

[@Icarryone]

Thanks, and enjoy that model 25!

[@walterdanielswalter.r.dani7628]

Of all my revolvers, from Colt to S&W to High Standard, this revolver is the most accurate I own. Was probably around the mid to late 90's that I bought this gun from a life long friend. After the first two shots at a 75ft indoor range, I turned him him and aked "How much?" . $450 dollars doesn't go as far as it used to. My stainless S&W 629 also has a 4" barrel and has been packed around Alaska with me for many years- heh- ever since I dumped my canoe while wearing my model 25-5. Zero damage, but same buddy sold me the 629 also @ $450.

[@mikecampbell5856]

What a beauty! I would love a review of this awesome gun. I'm with you, I think I could shoot my Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt all day. I installed aftermarket grips with Sheriff's stars and it is beautiful as well.

[@Icarryone]

Excellent!

[@blakekeithley3400]

I had one when living next to a dope dealer. Always shot standard rounds at the range and one cylinder of “dope dealer” rounds. Hand loaded by a friend they were a was but better than .44 mag. The problem is not the case but the 1873 actions. The should have been: “seeing how this is a .45 Long Colt”…..

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@drichi07]

Would love to see a more detailed review. I have a 45 Colt in a Ruger Vaquero, but have never owned or shot a Smith in that caliber, mainly because I wanted to handload to higher pressure for hunting. Now I regret not getting a 25-5 when I could have.

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@thetraveler5798]

I would really appreciate that 👍‼️

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@slimfire5475]

I would like to please see a more detailed video of the 25-5 Icarryone, Its such a beautiful revolver. I have a couple of revolvers in the 45 Colt to and enjoy shooting them to. Thanks for the video, Slim.

[@Icarryone]

It's on the list Slim! 😁

[@jasongibson8114]

Gorgeous revolver😊

[@peacemaker-du4hz]

Id definately take a full review video of that 45 colt.after all i did get my screen name from another well known 45 colt 🤩

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@Revolverman38]

Thanks for sharing, Classic 🇺🇸

[@Icarryone]

My pleasure!

[@ThecrazyScotsman]

You already know I love N frames. Incredible example my friend

[@Icarryone]

Thank you! Cheers! 👍

[@RichB804]

Looked at one of these at my local gun shop the other day and I noticed that the red front site marking is no longer on them. When did they stop doing that? Do you know? Otherwise I really love this firearm.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Yes sir! I really like my S&W 25-5!

[@richardshippful]

Revolvers are great fun. You have to work to make good shots, when you grow up shooting autos.

[@Icarryone]

I'm just the opposite. When I really want to hit something, I'll grab a revolver.

[@joep4235]

Ha ha ha.. The "why I hate Clint Eastwood" vid was classic... Still my favorite vid on the 29!!! Those grips on the 25 are awesome !!!

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@Ben_not_10]

I will say according to John Linebaugh the model 25 can handle some stout pressure and loads too. Maybe not to the max range of “Ruger only” data, but can handle around 80% the range of 44 magnum pressures. Thankfully in my own research, Hogdon has plenty of powerful 45 colt loads that fall well within the limits of the model 25 and sport very heavy bullet weights. While not looking to go the full potential of a plus P 45 colt. It is nice to have the option with a 25-5 of putting in some powerful loads capable of bringing down game similar to what the 44 magnum is capable of stopping.

[@lens7859]

Beautiful

[@Icarryone]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@granddad-mv5ef]

Will now watch the linked video, I can't remember seeing it previously. I was right---never saw it before. It was certainly worth watching! BTW, I have neither the Model 57 nor the Model 25, but I do have a Model 29 8 3/8 in nickle.

[@Icarryone]

I have the trio and really like them!

[@renehernandez9207]

Yes on the full review, not that you would shot this round in your 25-5 but are the chambers long enough to chamber .454 Casull? I’ve heard some of them do. Thank you for posting.

[@Icarryone]

The 454 cartridge case is too long to fit into a 45 Colt chamber.

[@MIKE-se8ye]

A review would be most welcome Sir!

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@jay-vd6rt]

Good stuff right there ! Love your videos awesome

[@Icarryone]

Awesome, thank you! 👍

[@tmaddrummer]

What holster(s) are you using for this beauty? Thanks and Blessings!

[@Icarryone]

Bianchi X15 Shoulder Holster

[@MrAlleluia00]

Can you do a review of a Model 27-2? I just got one, and I'd love to see a review of them.

[@Icarryone]

If I come across one, I'll be glad to do it.

[@MrAlleluia00]

I'll be looking forward to it then

[@joncavallo4391]

Serve it up!💥👍

[@Icarryone]

That's the plan!

[@Jolsen002]

I'd watch it

[@Icarryone]

I'm counting on it! 👍

[@petepeto9335]

There is not so many double action 45colt revolvers in the market 😔 eaven 45longcolt is versatile now days.

[@Icarryone]

Agreed 👍

[@paulsierra3502]

How’s reloading for .45 Colt?

[@Icarryone]

Pretty simple cartridge to reload - no quirks!

[@petepeto9335]

This model 25 45colt... Can handle hottests loads of 45 Like some Bigbore?

[@Icarryone]

I personally don't shoot any hot .45 Colt rounds in my 25-5. I already have a .44 magnum, so there's no point in it.

[@petepeto9335]

@@Icarryone thats tru 👍

[@rayfewin3478]

Please do

[@jamesbramblett3346]

My gosh I ❤the 45 Colt cartridge!! Thanks

[@Icarryone]

Me too!

[@joepatriot6431]

So do I, however the ammo is getting crazy, price wise. You can buy 44mag cheaper than 45 colt. Some plus P defense and dangerous game loads can be $3.25 each.
