Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 25-2 is a classic, highly regarded large-frame (.45 caliber) double-action/single-action revolver, widely regarded as one of the most iconic American wheelgun designs of the post-World War II era, blending robust construction with target-oriented features and the powerful .45 ACP cartridge. Originally derived from S&W’s “Model of 1955 Target” line, the 25-2 designation was applied beginning in the late 1950s to distinguish this variant from earlier versions and later caliber shifts, and it remained in production through much of the 1960s, ’70s, and into the early 1980s as Smith & Wesson refined the model. Built on S&W’s full-size N-frame, it typically features a six-shot fluted cylinder and was most commonly chambered in .45 ACP, requiring the use of moon clips—or the alternative .45 Auto Rim cartridge—to ensure reliable extraction of the rimless rounds from the cylinder. The revolver was offered with heavy barrels most often in 6½-inch length early in its life (and occasionally 6-inch later), a configuration that provided a long sight radius and excellent balance for precision shooting, complemented by adjustable rear sights and a crisp, wide target trigger and hammer that were hallmarks of the design’s target-oriented roots. Finished in deep blued steel with quality checkered wood grips, the Model 25-2 embodied both aesthetic refinement and utilitarian strength, weighing roughly 45 ounces depending on configuration and providing reassuring heft on the range. Enthusiasts and collectors today appreciate the 25-2 not just for its historical significance as a classic big-bore S&W revolver but also for its smooth action, solid accuracy with .45 ACP loads, and its embodiment of mid-20th-century American revolver craftsmanship, with well-balanced ergonomics that still make it a pleasure to shoot.
