Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Iver Johnson Model 855 is a compact, American-made rimfire revolver that exemplifies the company’s long tradition of producing practical, affordable handguns designed for everyday shooters rather than the high-end target market. Typically chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the Model 855 features a small, solid frame with a swing-out cylinder, offering more modern handling than earlier top-break Iver Johnson designs while retaining the brand’s emphasis on simplicity and durability. The revolver generally carries an eight-shot cylinder, giving it a capacity advantage over many contemporaries and reinforcing its appeal as a plinking, training, or small-game revolver. Its barrel length and compact dimensions provide a balanced feel that is easy to manage for shooters of varying experience levels, while fixed sights—a simple notch rear and blade front—are regulated for practical accuracy at common rimfire distances. The double-action/single-action trigger allows for flexible shooting styles, with a smooth double-action pull and a lighter, more precise single-action break for deliberate aiming. Finished most often in a blued steel configuration and fitted with checkered grip panels, the Model 855 presents a straightforward, no-nonsense aesthetic that reflects its utilitarian purpose. Though not intended as a premium collectible at the time of manufacture, the Iver Johnson 855 is now appreciated as a representative example of mid-century American rimfire revolvers, valued for its reliability, ease of use, and connection to an era when accessible firearms played a central role in recreational shooting culture.
