Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 1955 is a highly respected large-frame revolver that represents the pinnacle of Smith & Wesson’s mid-20th-century craftsmanship, combining serious target accuracy with the robust strength of the company’s famed N-frame design. Introduced initially as the .45 Target Model, the Model 1955 was chambered in .45 ACP and built to meet the demands of competitive bullseye shooters and precision-oriented enthusiasts. It features a heavy, finely fitted barrel—most commonly 6½ inches in length—paired with a six-shot cylinder and carefully tuned lockwork that delivers the smooth, consistent double-action pull and crisp single-action break for which classic Smith & Wesson revolvers are renowned. The revolver is equipped with fully adjustable target sights, typically including a micrometer-click rear and a Patridge front blade, allowing shooters to dial in point of impact with exceptional precision. Its substantial N-frame provides excellent balance and recoil control, making sustained target shooting comfortable and consistent, while the deep blued finish and checkered target stocks underscore the model’s premium, purpose-built nature. Often used with full-moon clips for rapid loading and extraction, the Model 1955 bridges the gap between competition and duty heritage, and today it is prized by collectors and shooters alike for its accuracy, durability, and its place as one of Smith & Wesson’s classic pre-model-number target revolvers that helped define American precision revolver shooting.
