Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The .45 Hand Ejector Model of 1955 was first completed on March 3, 1955, and incorporated all of the features for which competitive shooters had asked. These features included a heavier barrel for better balance and faster recovery, target stocks for a better grip, and a target hammer and trigger to allow better function. The handgun was considered to be the top-of-the-line in competitive revolvers. The Model 25, as it was named in 1957, has been a popular revolver since its introduction in 1955 and remains in production to date. During the years several changes were made to this model.
In September 1975, Smith & Wesson upgraded its line of 'N' revolvers to be equal to the prestigious Model 29 series of revolvers. The Model 25 was provided with a bright blue finish and checkered Goncalo Alves target grips and shipped with a mahogany presentation case. In 1977, Smith & Wesson began offering the Model 25 in the .45 Colt caliber. This meant that the same model was available in two different calibers. The designation Model 25-2 became important as it indicated the revolver was manufactured in the .45 ACP cartridge.
