S&W Model 25-5
Hey all, I hope someone can shed some light on this for me, or set me straight as the case may be. I recently acquired a beautiful 25-5, but I'm puzzled about one thing... it's stailess. I thought the 625s were the stainless ones. This isn't plated, it's honest to goodness stainless throughout, except for the ejector star, which is blued. The frame, pinned-barrel, ejector rod - all stainless. It's got some interesting porting as well, after market more than likely, 3 rather large, flared holes on either side of the front sight. Thanks for your help. I'll check with S&W, but wanted input from here first.
Strength and honor!

I've lost the front sight insert in my S&W 25-5.Anybody know where I can purchase a replacement?
Thank You

Could it be hard chromed? It can look pretty similar to stainless.
Approach a magnet to make sure...

Hello, and welcome to the forum.
How about Nickle instead of stainless?
Model 25-5 w/ pinned barrel was produced between 1978 and 1982.
I don't believe in those days that there was a factory or custom shop option for porting so I suspect you are correct with your after-market assumption.
You can contact S&W for a factory letter. The cost is $30, but you may find it worth it in the long run as you learn more about your revolver and the letters add some value to the piece if you decide to sell it at some future point.
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!0
