The revolver's sights include a 1/8-inch Patridge front sight paired with a micrometer-click rear sight, allowing for precise adjustments and reliable aiming. Its checkered target-style grips, adorned with S&W medallions and diamond inserts, provide a comfortable and secure hold for shooters, especially during prolonged use. The Model 25-2 was initially introduced in 1955, and although it was chambered in both .45 ACP and .45 Colt, the .45 ACP version was the more common configuration until the .45 Colt variation was reintroduced in 1977 with the 125th Commemorative edition. Early production models of the 25-2 were marked "45 CAL. MODEL 1955," while later models bore the "45 Colt CTG" marking. With its combination of powerful performance, smooth action, and distinctive design, the Model 25-2 remains a highly regarded revolver, especially among collectors due to its rarity and historical significance.
