Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Rossi Model 25 “Princess” in its rare 2-inch .22 LR nickel-plated configuration is an exceptionally charming and eye-catching variant of Rossi’s classic vest-pocket line, combining the graceful styling of early 20th-century pocket pistols with the practicality and low recoil of the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. Built on a compact steel frame and finished in a bright, mirror-like nickel that enhances corrosion resistance while giving the pistol a refined, almost decorative appearance, this Princess variant stands out both visually and mechanically from its more common .25 ACP siblings. The 2-inch barrel is proportioned perfectly to the tiny frame, offering just enough sight radius to take advantage of the .22 LR’s inherent accuracy while keeping the pistol firmly in the ultra-compact category for discreet carry. The blowback action is simple, reliable, and easy to maintain. The slim slide, gently rounded muzzle, and classic vest-pocket lines all point to its design heritage in early Browning pocket pistols. Small but well-cut slide serrations provide the shooter with a decent purchase when cycling the action, and the diminutive fixed sights—although undeniably small—are typically regulated for practical close-range use. The grips, often found in smooth plastic, checkered hardwood, or imitation pearl, complement the nickel finish and lend the pistol a touch of vintage elegance. Its heel-type magazine release, striker-fired mechanism, and minimalist controls reflect an era when pocket guns prioritized safety in deep concealment over speed of operation.

Despite its petite dimensions, many examples shoot surprisingly well, as the steel frame and straight blowback system provide a stable platform for the mild .22 LR cartridge. Today, the nickel Rossi Princess in .22 LR is considered a collectible oddity—an appealing blend of Old World styling, Brazilian craftsmanship, and vest-pocket charm—admired not only for its attractive finish but also for its rarity, mechanical simplicity, and the nostalgia it evokes for an era when even the smallest defensive firearms were built with care and aesthetic flair.
