Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 25 is a classic large-frame revolver that traces its lineage directly to the company’s famed pre-war Hand Ejector models. Built on the robust N-frame, the Model 25 was introduced in the mid-1950s as part of Smith & Wesson’s transition to numerical model designations, and it became widely known for its association with powerful, traditionally American revolver cartridges. Most commonly encountered chamberings include .45 Colt and .45 ACP, the latter often paired with moon clips for rapid reloading. With its large frame, excellent balance, and smooth double-action trigger, the Model 25 quickly earned a reputation as a capable target, field, and duty revolver.

From a collector and shooter perspective, the Model 25 is highly regarded for both its craftsmanship and versatility. Earlier examples, particularly those with pinned barrels, recessed cylinders, and fine blued or nickel finishes, are especially sought after. Barrel lengths and dash variations add further interest for collectors, while the revolver’s inherent accuracy and manageable recoil continue to attract enthusiasts who appreciate traditional double-action revolvers. Today, the Smith & Wesson Model 25 stands as a respected representative of the N-frame lineage, valued for its historical roots, shootability, and enduring appeal among serious revolver collectors.
