H&R Self-Loading 25 Information
« on: January 06, 2010, 06:40:38 AM »
I recently acquired a H&R self loading 25 that is in outstanding condition. I know the history per se, but as it's engraved and all the levers gold plated I wanted to see if anyone knows if this was a factory customization or aftermarket? In either case, I am in love with the pistol and will have a little place reserved in the safe infinitum.

I've seen quite a few of the .25 SL but have never seen one with engraving or gold plating.  It is a real beauty!  Nice find.

That is one very fine looking piece of H&R history. Kurt

That's a pretty little pistol.
I've never seen one quite that fancy.
