    very nice.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche

    It wasn't too bad with with standard loads but then I had just got done shooting the 500 before it. +p's might be a different story

    Nice... VERY NICE! [^]

    Size...? Physically compared to the smallish 38 Specials that S&W Builds...
    How much bigger is it...??

    I carry the SW642 in my pocket... But a 45ACP would likely feel much better.
    At least it would help counter the 1911 Ofcr in the other pocket... [;)]

    Too bad it is in a micro caliber. Look on the photo label. It is only a 4 ACP, not a 45 ACP. [;)][:D] Needle firing gun. [:D]

    Congrats Savage,.....the +P might be a slight issue, but I doubt it.
    Not something you want to shoot for an hour straight though.[;)]

    See if you can find some old Winchester Super X 240gr Lubaloy .44 Mag ammo. Load that up, you'll wish you hadn't.

    Oh yeh, its a .45 not a .44.

    You be a tough guy Mr.P!!!
    Read the post, and see I was speaking about +P in a snubbie for an hour long range session.

    Standard .45 ACP loads are simply a light push to me, and I prefer that over the 'snap' of some others.

    I have shot about every handgun caliber known to man, and can handle it.

    Some I would not wish to fire more than a few rounds though.
    I'm sure you could shoot anything all day long though.[:)][:I]

    Admittedly, I have not shot much 45acp +p ammo, but some. The buffalo bore I link to above made me switch to houge grips from rosewood on my Redhawk.

    You would need some pretty big pockets I'm carrying my Model 19 in a Galco OWB high ride holster and will get the same holster for this one

    If so that would be good!
    The 25-2 can be loaded with or without the moon clips. I expect the 325 can too.

    I wish I'd kept my 25-2. I thought I sold it, but now I know I gave it away. I had a Model 547 9mm revolver that didn't use moon clips. I got rid of it because the cylinder was too complicated for me. Now I find out they are rare and the prices are through the roof. A GunBroker bidder got lucky on that one too.

    I never understood why everybody gave Eric such a hard time about using moon clips in the Taurus.

    They got one in titanium scadmium?

    I had a beautiful 25-5 and like an idiot I sold it for what I had into it ($425) back in the early oughts. It's $900+ gun now. [:(!]

    Good thing is one of my friends has it. Got passed around.

    Edit: also had a nice condition property marked S&W 1917 in 45 acp that I bought from a shop cheap - $475. I sold it to a buddy. He traded it back to the same shop I bought it from for an M1A and got more in trade $$ than I bought it for...
