This is Mjolnir, a S&W Model 25-5, 6 inch pinned barrel. It belonged to my brother who has a terminal illness. Recently he gave it to me, knowing that I once owned the same model of handgun when I was station in Germany back in the mid-Eighties and, he wanted it to go to a good home and remain in the family.
He kept it as his bedside gun to fend off scallywags, until he was no longer able to sit upright. Loaded with 250gr RN lead, it packs a combination of a lethal punch and semi-mild recoil.
I've shot this handgun twice since November, 2011 and have to say that two-handed shooting at 15 yards, the accuracy is quite acceptable. I think it has the over-sized cylinder bores and forcing cone but, will have to wait until I return to Michigan to verify this.
