My SW 25-7 has landed !
Picked up ol' Stormy this morning and looks super clean for it's 31 years! Gave it my Ballistol clean and prep and took a few indoor pics as the weather very windy outside today.
Action on it is very smooth and crisp and the DA pull doesn't feel as heavy as my 629-2E. Cylinder lock up and timing perfect. Grip feels good in hand!
Need to get a good holster for it. Hope to get out for first shots within next couple days!

If it shoots good as it looks, you have a real winner with that one. Looking forward to your first range report.

Mighty good looking rig there forty! Maybe you mentioned before, I forget, but, are those the factory grips? They accent that gun very well.
Heck, I don't think I looked that good at 31! Get to shootin'!

Re: My SW 25-7 has landed !
They came with a rubber Hogue grip but a lot of owners swap on other grips. The person I bought it from did not have the original grips or box it came with. First time I have bought a gun on Guns International but it worked out really nice this time. For the price I think I made a good investment as they can be hard to find and very glad to have it. They were made with the 5 inch barrel which is unique.
Will see how it shots very soon!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
