To differentiate from the related .25 Stevens Short it is sometimes also referred to as .25 Stevens Long. [ 2 ] Developed by J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company and Peters Cartridge Company , [ 1 ] it was developed between 1898 and 1900; catalogs suggest it was introduced in 1898, but most sources agree on 1900. [ 1 ]
The .25 Stevens Short was an American rimfire rifle cartridge, introduced in 1902. [1] Developed by J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company, [2] it was intended to be a lower cost, less potent variant of the .25 Stevens, on which it was based. [1] It initially used a 4.5 to 5 gr (0.29 to 0.32 g) black powder charge; this was later replaced by smokeless.
It was used in Stevens' single shot Model 44, as well as the Model 44 + 1 ⁄ 2 rifles, which first went on sale in 1903. [1] In addition, it was available in the Remington-Hepburn target rifle. While the .25-25 was popular, the .25-21 offered "practically the same performance and was a little cleaner shooting."
The Stevens Boys Rifles were a series of single-shot takedown rifles produced by Stevens Arms from 1890 until 1943. The rifles used a falling-block action (sometimes called a tilting-block, dropping-block, or drop-block) and were chambered in a variety of rimfire calibers, such as .22 Short , .22 Long Rifle , .25 Rimfire , and .32 Rimfire .
Although not originally designed for handguns, several rifle and shotgun cartridges have also been chambered in a number of large handguns, primarily in revolvers like the Phelps Heritage revolver, Century Arms revolver, Thompson/Centre Contender break-open pistol, Magnum Research BFR, and the Pfeifer Zeliska revolvers. These include:

Designed by Capt. W. L. Carpenter, 9th U.S. Infantry, the .25-21 Stevens was essentially a shortened version of the company's own .25-25 of 1895. [13] (This is an odd reversal of the relationship of the .38 S&W Special to the .357 Magnum.) The .25-25 would be used in Stevens' model 44 and the model 44½ rifles manufactured from 1903. [13]
