Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Traced directly to the legendary Model 1955 Target, the Smith & Wesson Model 25 represents one of the most revered large-frame precision revolvers ever constructed. Built on S&W's iconic large N-frame architecture, the Model 25-9 variant was introduced specifically to chamber the legendary .45 Colt cartridge, incorporating improved dimensional cylinder throats, a heavy target barrel, and target-grade lockwork elements. Outfitted with a wide checkering hammer, smooth target trigger, fully adjustable micrometer rear sight, and oversized target stocks, the Model 25-9 bridges classic 19th-century big-bore performance with 20th-century target shooting accuracy and custom shop refinement.
This specific example is an authentic Smith & Wesson Model 25-9 revolver chambered in .45 Colt, bearing serial number BEF6439. Outfitted in showcase presentation trim, it features a 6-inch target barrel, factory deep blued finish with custom gold-inlaid roll-mark lettering, 6-shot fluted cylinder, wide color case-hardened target hammer and trigger, and gorgeous smooth rosewood target stocks displaying rich figure and silver S&W medallions. The blued finish and gold lettering present in pristine condition throughout, displaying sharp edges, high mirror-like polish, and clean steel surfaces. Mechanically, cylinder lockup is bank-vault tight, the double-action pull is smooth, the single-action break is hair-trigger sharp, and the 6-inch barrel bore is mirror-bright. Offering timeless N-frame elegance and classic .45 Colt caliber performance, this S&W Model 25-9 offers a centerpiece collector item.
