Our Assessment:
This Smith & Wesson Model 25-14 is a compact N-frame revolver chambered in .45 ACP, finished in bright nickel, and fitted with attractive grips. The 3? barrel gives the revolver a balanced and practical footprint while retaining the heft and strength of the large N-frame. Its nickel finish and rosewood stocks set it apart visually, making it as appealing for display as it is for shooting.

Mechanically, this example presents well. The action appears sound, lockup is solid, and the bore is excellent, rating 9.8/10 with only light,very light fouling present. This is a revolver that has been fired minimally and shows careful handling throughout its life.
