Smith & Wesson Model 25-2 45 ACP 5″ Blue Heavy Target Revolver

Smith & Wesson Model 25-2 45 ACP 5" Blue Heavy Target Revolver

serial #N846166, 45 ACP / AR, 5" pinned barrel with an excellent bore. This lovely revolver has had the barrel professionally shortened to the very handy and desirable length of 5 inches. The work is factory quality but the gun lacks any rework marks and is probably the work of a talented gunsmith. The metal surfaces retain about 98% original blue with some minor freckling on the sideplate and knuckle plus a tiny spot of pitting on the rear of the cylinder. The .500" target hammer and .500" target trigger retain bold case-hardened colors with light operational wear. The checkered goncalo alves factory target grips with silver S&W medallions rate excellent. The gun features a replacement Baughman ramp front sight and white outline micro adjustable rear sight whose height was "regulated" slightly to match the shorter barrel and its replacement front sight plus the corners of the slider (blade) were lightly angled. A fine gun in a great configuration for field, defense or the range.
