1 of 200 Lew Horton Smith & Wesson Performance Center Heritage 25-11 .45 ACP 6 1/2" Revolver & Box

Our Assessment: This is Smith & Wesson’s model 25-11, a target revolver chambered in .45 ACP with a 6 1/2″ barrel, adjustable sights, and classic stocks. The Model 25, and its pre-numbered version, are built on the N-Frame and were in production from 1955 to 1991 and have made later appearances in the "Heritage" and "Classics" series from Smith & Wesson. This one is a four screw model with a triple lock from the Heritage series, it was made for Lew Horton and only around 150 were produced. This one has hardly any wear and comes in a box with paperwork including a manual. It is in excellent condition with about 99% of its metal finish, a great bore, and good mechanics, this gun seriously looks sharp. This will make a great addition to a Smith & Wesson or revolver collection, especially with its included accessories, and one the collectors won’t want to miss out on given its high condition. Please see our pictures and good luck!
