The N-Frame Smiths are quite nice in the caliber.
I carried my first one, a four-inch 25-5, in the early '80s on duty & would have still been carrying it when I retired in '99 if the department hadn't dropped revolvers entirely in favor of Glocks. Still have it.

Later acquired a four-inch 625 Mountain Gun & a six-inch 25-9 (fluted) which I consider the apex of the S&W .45 Colt revolvers.

They are well worth looking for.
