New one and one revisted

kim · 05-31-2011, 01:34 PM

Here's my new to me Smith and Wesson model 25-5 in .45 Colt.

And my old XP100 in 7mm08. Just re did the stock and I like this version much better.

nice................

i have only shot an xp one time..............an old nylon stock one in 221 fireball if i remember correctly.........at last......a RH bolt that actually is made for a lefty...or at least it seems that way with a bolt action handgun........

I like em

gunman42782 · 05-31-2011, 02:33 PM

Love the Smith! Our RO at work has one. They are worth some bucks now.

Bountyhunter · 05-31-2011, 02:46 PM

That smith is the right cal, but wrong barrel length!

That XP must kick pretty good, huh? I've never fired a 7mm-08.

sheepdog · 05-31-2011, 05:43 PM

...get back Beaverteeth!!! don't you DARE cut that barrel off...it's an American treasure....

kim · 05-31-2011, 05:51 PM

Relax, Dog. No one's gonna cut that barrel off as long as it lives with me. It's a target gun. As soon as this Bullseye League is over, I think it's going back to Smith to be reblued and, perhaps, some tasteful engraving.

Yeah, BH, there is no doubt in your mind when that rascal goes off. It's not too bad with 120 grn bullets, but the 162's are a bit rough.

...I forget...is it fixed for moon clips from the factory??? can you shoot .45 Auto Rim in it??? been a loooong time since I've seen one....

kim · 05-31-2011, 06:00 PM

No, the -2's were set up for moon clips, this one is .45 Colt.

JOHNNY WACKO · 05-31-2011, 08:13 PM

That's what I figured. I'll keep the rifle cartridges in my rifles.

Taurus_9mm · 06-01-2011, 03:53 AM

Very nice Smith, and unlike beaverteeth, I do like the longer barrels.

I've shot Kim's S/W and it's a sweetheart.....as far as the "tasteful engraving", I was teasing him about possibly having "Hope and Change" engraved in gold inlay scroll on the barrel.....tastefully of course. His response was not repeatable for this forum.

JOHNNY WACKO · 06-01-2011, 05:05 AM

Dont worry bankshot it is not possable to do that to yourself.Ever if he tells you to go do it.

kim · 06-03-2011, 10:57 AM

Yo JW, shoot me a picture of the 7mm International. I'd like to see what you have.

Thanks

That smith is beautiful. Nice choice Kim.

Reddog · 08-25-2011, 04:06 PM

Kim,
I like your Smith, but did someone put a set of K frame Targets on an N frame?

kim · 08-25-2011, 05:23 PM

I don't think so, in fact, I didn't know you could. This is my first Smith, so I'm really no expert.

Bet that Smith just drops those 45 LC's in the 10 ring all day long. Great firearm.
