This video features a modern version of an old classic. Presenting the Smith & Wesson Model 25-15. An introduction and commentary by Wheelgun Dan.
Also installed a brand new pair of "Coke Bottle Grips" by Altamont.
Smith & Wesson states that +P+ ammo cannot be used in any S&W handgun they have ever made. As for any other S&W firearm, I would go by what is actually written on the barrel. In this case, it does NOT say "Plus P or- +P" so I would interpret that to mean... stick to only normal cartridges.
Buffalo Bore makes some cartridges with very good performance at standard pressures.
Awesome video, alot of good info. I was able to find a 25-15 at my local store and I pick it up soon. Excited.
That's great news!
I have an old one with a 4" barrel and nickel finish. It has great visual presence. Decades ago when I was a police officer, I caused a miscreant to piss himself when I presented it to his face. 😂
Nice!
I just got me a new Stetson black cowboy hat they look super Kool , ecselent video on a nice Smith thank you very much for your time and God bless you.
You gotta love those big, old, blue steel revolvers.
Beautiful gun
Thanks and Blessings Dan!
Nice ! thx ! great video. especially appreciate up here in CT ! (where Colt is from, and Springfield, Mass not far too!)
Would love to find an older model 25.
I bought a Model 25 1955 Target in 1979, and I was under the impression that I could switch out the 45acp cylinder and put in a 45 long cylinder. Am I correct?

can it handle those hot loads?

Nice example of a fine S&W....where you are at makes me think of NW Arizona between Kingman and Hoover Dam. I am thinking about getting one of these to have a DA/SA 45 Colt revolver to complement my Ruger Turnbull Bisley Blackhawk in 45 Colt which is a SA. Do you mind sharing who the Amazon holster maker was? Thanks Wheelgun Dan.

Beautiful revolver.
I respectfully disagree with your assertion regarding double vs single action.
They are by full intention, different actions to serve different purposes.
I find single action works better for target, but rarely shoot single action since a self defense situation is most likely going to be double action.
That is a really nice gun. I am surprised how quiet it is.
Cowboy loads are pretty light. Self-defense loads ae louder. Still not earth-shaking, but noticeably louder.
IM A LITTLE CONFUSED IS THAT A LONG COLT OR ACP ? IF IT IS A ACP ARE YOU NOT USING THE HALF MOON CLIPS??
The model appearing in the video is chambered in caliber .45 Colt aka .45 Long Colt which is a revolver cartridge and does not need moon clips. However, earlier versions of the model 25 were indeed chambered in .45acp aka .45 AUTO which is a cartridge designed for semi-automatics like the Colt model 1911 handgun. If this model 25 were chambered for caliber .45acp/.45 AUTO that it would absolutely require the use of moon clips. I much prefer the caliber .45 Long Colt because I do not have to use moon clips.
Check if yours can chamber 454 casull, its a problem they have.
How about if I just don't load that caliber into this gun?
@@WheelgunDan yea but its a safety concern, dick casull made the case longer on purpose so it wouldn't chamber in 45 lc guns, ever other 45 lc gun on the market it won't chamber in except the 25, its know hazard that s&w ignore, check out FourtuneCookie45lc's series on it. If some idiot who didn't know what they where doing took a case that fits and shoot it they would lose they hand
@@mrbushwookie6051 I think that for most people it would be an extraordinarily rare event to even be in possession of a 454 round if you don't even own a gun chambered for that caliber. Even of you did own a firearm in each of those calibers, firearms ownership requires each gun owner to practice diligence. If you own a big bore caliber, you had better know what you are doing. To suggest that someone is going to have a bunch of extremely expensive random calibers of big bore revolver ammo laying around that one might randomly pick up and begin to fiddle with or even attempt to fire in such a reckless manner is imho highly unlikely. And if there is ever a human being on this planet who finds themself in such a scenario, they don't need to be owning guns in the first place.
Too much narration, not enough shooting.
The most powerfull is 500 mag
But the .460 goes faster & farther
