Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Some revolvers earn a following, and the Model 25 is one of them. Part of the S&W Classics line, this reissue brings back a big-bore N-Frame with the kind of fit and finish that made the originals so collectible. The bright blue carbon steel frame, barrel, and cylinder pair up with checkered square butt walnut grips for a look that belongs behind glass but begs to be shot. Chambered in .45 Colt, a cartridge that has been putting big, heavy bullets exactly where they need to go since 1873, this one throws a lot of lead without the punishing recoil of the magnum cartridges its frame was built to handle.
Smith & Wesson did not cut corners on the throwback touches. You get a color case hardened wide spur hammer, a color case serrated target trigger, and the classic style cylinder thumbpiece. The 6.5 inch barrel wears a pinned Patridge front sight matched to a micro-adjustable rear, so you can dial in your load whether you are running mild cowboy ammo or stouter hunting fodder. The single action trigger on these N-Frames is a big part of the appeal, breaking clean for deliberate target work, while the double action pull is there when you want to run it fast.
At 12 inches overall and around 42 ounces, this is a full-size revolver that settles the sights and soaks up recoil. That heft makes it a pleasure for long range sessions, and .45 Colt is famously easy on the hands and easy to reload for. Owners consistently praise the deep bluing, the figure in the walnut, and the accuracy these guns turn in from the bench.
Whether you are into cowboy action shooting, handgun hunting with heavier loads, or you just appreciate a proper blued sixgun, the Model 25 Classic is the kind of revolver that gets handed down rather than traded in. Backed by Smith & Wesson's lifetime service policy, it is built to outlast all of us.
No, this version of the Model 25 is chambered specifically for .45 Colt and the cylinder is not cut for moon clips. Stick with .45 Colt ammunition, which is widely available in everything from soft cowboy action loads to heavier hunting offerings. Earlier Model 25 variants in .45 ACP were a different chambering entirely.
It can absolutely fill that role at reasonable distances. The 6.5 inch barrel wrings good velocity out of the .45 Colt, the micro-adjustable rear sight lets you zero for your chosen load, and the heavy N-Frame keeps recoil manageable. Keep in mind this gun is built for standard pressure .45 Colt ammo, so save the heavy magnum-level handloads for revolvers rated for them.
Yes, the rear sight is micro-adjustable for windage and elevation, paired with a pinned Patridge front blade. That combination has been a target shooting staple for generations and makes it simple to dial in different bullet weights. The square-notch and flat-topped blade give a crisp, precise sight picture.
Yes, like most current production S&W revolvers, this one includes the internal key-activated lock located above the cylinder release. It is completely optional to use and does not affect normal operation of the revolver. A key comes in the case if you ever want to engage it for storage.
