I am thinking of buying a new S&W model 25-15 45 Colt. I cant swing the prices I am seeing for older 25-3 versions.
The 25-15 Ive seen look decent. I like the tall partridge front sight and plain (not white outlined) rear.
I have a 25-2 in 45 acp and a 27-3 357 and really like the feel and heft of these guns. I currently shoot a older Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt.
My intent would be lots of load development/paper punching, and probably some whitetail hunting.
I shoot exclusively cast in most of my revolvers and if I were to buy revolver would check throat with pin guage and slug barrel to see what I got.
But reason I am asking question is I remember an article by Brian Pearce about this exact subject. I want to say for a while S&W had some small throats resulting in poor accuracy unless you had them opened up to more closely match bore.
I would think this has been corrected but I do not know.
I'm hoping someone on here has some experience with one of these. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
