@@Jeff-sl8xzI've always wanted a S&W 25, but I have a S&W 57 and I just can't bring myself to spend $1100 on another N-frame. I do have some single actions in .45 Colt, though.
I just checked Gun Sam. He tested Buffalo Bore 225gr LSWCHP and got 17" and expansion to 0.526". You might want to try some of that as it might be just what you are looking for.
Time to test the Hornady 185gr. Critical Defense in .45 Colt 💥 ... it has a polymer-tip , intended to address the "plugging" problem . * not "bonded" like Winchester PDX1 , so it may shed it's jacket
I have some of these , good to know video, still wouldn’t want it to hit me , recently got into the cowboy action and from what I’ve seen is you better be into reloading if you want .45 colt to shoot
Different headspace setup. The only ambidextrous ones are the Redhawk and the convertible SAs. You could approximate it by making that level of handload in Starline's new .45 Cowboy brass; it has a 45 ACP body and a 45 LC rim. And 45 AutoRim is a different animal altogether.
Before I bought that gun I read up on it, and everything I read said it was not like a Model 29 and to not run hot loads through it, so I've only put standard pressure loads through it, both factory and handloads.
Gel is not very representative of a human body, no bone etc. Gel is more like shooting thru fat, not even muscle. And who wears 4 layers of denim? Maybe 2 layers if your shooting someone in the ass wearing jeans and hit pocket area.
please keep testing
these .45 Colt hollow-points :
- Hornady Critical Defense

Oh...looking at that beautiful pinned bbl. M25 wearing those gorgeous stocks actually made me drool a little bit.
I'm a big fan of the.45 Colt round and I've got a nice model 25 Smith and Wesson in the.45 Colt love it

@@linguisticman I know what you mean I've had mine for many years I picked it up used but in mint condition yet for 250.00 won't see those days again
Not all gel blocks are the same. Watched another tester test this round out of a Ruger and it stopped at 14 1/4 inches. Its damn good ammo in 45LC
Solid info. Bet it open when fired from a lever gun.
Betcha the 225 frx Hornday round will work.
Thanks for these videos.

Interesting results try winchester ranger t series hollow points you have better results greetings from uk 🇺🇲👍🇬🇧🦊🐾
How about the Hornady leverevolution 225gr. .45 colt
Who wears 4 layers of denim? Try one layer of denim, one layer of shirt and one layer of t-shirt.
You could try these I would like to see the results. 45 COLT (LONG COLT) 135GR. XTREME DEFENDER by underwood.
Penetrating 4 layers of denim clogs up the hollow-point so no expansion. No expansion means penetration through the block.
I find Winchester to make some of the best defense Ammos as a whole..
Try, ( if you can FIND them ) Glaser safety 'slugs' in .45 Colt. If over penetration is the concern. Designed to NOT overpenetrate.
Critical defense

Indeed, suh.
If you can use moon clips in that gun and fire 45 ACP, then try the 185gr +P. Either way 45 caliber hole isn't bad w/o expansion.

Interesting video. What's the hottest round you've shot out of your Smith?
