Some handguns were also chambered for .25 Stevens, most notably the Stevens-Lord single-shot pistols. The round was available with either solid lead or hollow point bullets and developed a good reputation for small game (such as rabbit) and varmints. In comparison to the .22 Long Rifle some sources note that its ballistics suffered from an excessively high trajectory for a rifle cartridge (a drop of 5.1 in (130 mm) at 100 yd (91 m)), while others praise its inherent accuracy, and larger versatility due to being much more powerful, especially when used in revolvers. Serving as the parent for the less-successful .25 Stevens Short and experimental Remington .267 Rimfire, it was dropped in 1942. Notable handgun authority Elmer Keith lamented its demise and advocated its revival for use in revolvers. (en) |
