Lotsa years ago, I worked for a small police department where the chief was an excellent boss and a super human being but for one thing: He couldn't abide us carrying autopistols. I wanted the big bore so ended up with a Model 25 cut to four inches. I fitted a set of the old made-to-order Herrett's Jordan Trooper stocks. Shot a lot of auto rim loads in it. It was a superb sidearm for duty use but a touch large for concealed work. When I changed agencies and went into plainclothes, I stupidly traded off the big Smith. It is near the top of my list of "Guns I should have kept."

I really don't care for the newer versions with full length barrel underlug. If you take a notion to get rid of your round butted 25, get hold of me, huh?

Best,
Johnny
