Winchester Silvertip. It was our duty load and dropped everything in one. There is likely better stuff, but I have it and I know first hand that it works on summer clothed bad guys. I use HKS loaders with the 25-5's.
Nope. Austin Behlert originally did them and they have a lock on the crane instead of the ejector rod. Jovino had a bunch of excellent gunsmith's in the old days and they began ordering N frame's and converting them at the Jovino shop. Later, you had the Horton guns with a little bit longer barrels and conventional lock up that were ordered in small runs from S&W.
