Need advice/help.
« on: November 04, 2005, 10:51:16 PM »
Dun sum swappin'.
Got an unfired M25 in .45 acp. It's fired NOW! :)
Got 2 half moon clips and 3 full moon clips.
Pretty neat ain't they?
This is my only experience with the M-25 and clips.
I wanna keep this blue 6" revolver. I like it.
Are they accuarate?
My says "Model of 1955" on the barrel.
Is this modern, new?, older?
Where can I get more clips? Do I want half or full moon?
I have dies. This gun a candidate for reloads???? I'm guessing at 20 yards 'er so it'd take small deer?
Any thoughts suggestions appreciated.


'Nuther revolver in the swap.
A M686 .357 "Mountain Gun" s.s. 4" nice custom gribs, in the box and papers, but it's a SEVEN shot?????
This thing any good?
I got no idea.
Didn't even have any ammo but a trip to Wally World fixed that.
Got Rem 125 grain h.p. like that in the .38 +P for my .38s.
This funny 7 shot hicky worth a hoot?
Condition is 'good' to excellent.
I got about 350 in her.
Fair? Deal? I get hosed?
I got 400 in the M25 unfired.
Thougths?
I can live with fair. I've been hosed before so I ain't no virgin.

you got a GREAT deal on the 686.

I usually see them for $450-$525

they only made about 5000 of them and are highly sought after.

they make a seven shot speed loader for it as well.

Good luck and enjoy it, there are a lot of jealous people out there that are looking for one.

Thanks Spencer.
I had no idea about the 686.
Might have to get a 7 shot speed loader!
I shot the 686 in my back yard range. She groups 2 to 2.5" at 25 yards which ain't all that bad for a 4" with magnum factory loads.
( And 59 year old eyes!)

your 25 is a target revolver and is very accurate its not manufactured in that variation anymore so i guess you can call it old. It will respond well to handloading in either acp brass or 45 auto rim brass. With proper loads it is a fine 25 yard deer gun. Best place to find moon clips cheap is do a search on ebay for them.
