I knew a Trooper that carried a .45 LC on duty. Kimrey was his name. The model 25 wasn't a real popular choice for the old school brown shirts. Most of them preferred the model 57, 58 or 29/629 in .41 or .44 Magnum for it's higher velocity and "Magnum Force."
So I just found this thread somehow, and it may take me a while to get through 5 years of posts but I'm going to try...for now, here's one of mine, with more to come...probably my favorite Smith I own so far, my 4" 57 no dash
I had a chance a few months ago to buy a gun exactly like that one and regretfully passed.
My only legitimate reason was not wanting to have to start loading for another caliber.
I only have one Smith; the "V" model that my Father carried as a night-watchman, in the '60s. Colts have always "felt"better in my hands. However....I would make an exception in the case of a 25-5!
@retrieverman
I had a early 4" model 29!
It was a beater and I sold it to a friend I worked with! Thinking I did not need another 44! Lol
Been regretting it for a long while now!
@Okieyote
That 4" 25-5 is extra special!
@clintbailey
For the last few years I been thinking a 4" model 657 would be nice on my hip around the farm!
I have the 6" 57, but it just does not have daily carry appeal!
Bought the 57 used and it took me 19 years before I finally sent some lead through it!

Good luck finding a 4 inch 657. I don't recall S&W even cataloging those. Only the 6 incher.@retrieverman
