Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns SMITH & WESSON 25-7 MODEL OF 1989, .45 Colt

So, what is it worth? Appears new in the box, wrapped in the anti -corrosion paper. Box is in very good shape with correct end label. Curious. Always heard these were the most accurate .45s that S&W made.

How common are these.

Gun from 1989 should be 625-2. Gun from ca.1998 should be 625-7. Which is it?

25-7 Model of 1989 on the barrel. You are very mistaken. Matte finish.

Is it a 5” barrel with unfluted cylinder?

He didn’t say 625 he said 25 you fake Fugk.
Take your borat sock puppet BS somewhere else. Nobody buys your schtick.

Yup. You know the one.

If it is available to you, buy it immediately.

Limited run of 1987 pcs is what I read in a quick google search. I’d be on that that quick.

I've mentioned before that I have a 625-2. I shoot that gun better than any other revolver I own.

Here it is with a 625-6 .45 Colt Mountain Gun



And a 25-2. Another great shooting gun. Guy I bought it from shot bowling pin tournaments with it.

Buyers price $1356.00

Mine is a 25-9. It has elk horn handles.

My 25-5 started life as a blued .45 Colt revolver. Some 30 years ago I had it hard chromed, and my gunsmith made a .45 ACP conversion cylinder for me. I used that for years shooting bowling pin matches. The .45 Colt cylinder has been used hunting hogs often. The Tritium sight are helpful on night hunts. It is probably the most accurate S&W revolver I own.

As I recall back when I was doing my own research, there were only 2,000 of these revolvers made. At most, there are only 1,998 left available on the market. I know of one that was destroyed by an overzealous twit that converted it to a Snub nose, and I have one that will never leave the family. Actually, it will go to my son someday as 1989 is his birth year.

Carried it when hunting the mountains for many years in a Diamond D leather Guides Choice holster, until I acquired a 625 Mountain Gun in .45 Col to carry instead.

Number made is actuality irrelevant, what really counts is how many come through door or click keyboard looking for one and when they see one say wow it is 25-7, I want it.

I am putting a $2000.00 value on it considering it's probably unfired and in the box. I was wondering if y'all had any other insight on that specific gun. I do know they are not common and I have never seen one for sale in the box in this condition. My son will end up with it. I have no plans to shoot it.

What’s the scoop, 25-7 vs 25-9?

Both say 1989 on the barrel.

DF

Longer stop notch in the cylinder. The Model of 1989 on the barrel does not help. With dull blackened finish, smooth cylinder and .45 Colt caliber "The Horse Thief" would be much more appropriate and desirable.
From the right buyer this 25-7 might bring $1500 to $1600.

What the price difference, if there is one, 25-7 vs. 25-9?

Mine's a later model. I always wanted a 25:

25-5 set up with Crimson Trace grips to kill hogs. It's yet to kill one.

I always seem to have something else in hand, but don't doubt it would do the trick.
