Ugly? There ain't nothing ugly about the model 25. Bad? Only if you're on the receiving end of a .45Colt.
Good? N Frame S&W are a favorite of mine, and the .45Colt cartridge is hard to beat.
I owned a model 25 back in the early '80's, and now have another - the .45Colt "Mountain Gun". Great revolvers. Never had a problem with either one.
Accurate, and fun to shoot too.
Just one caveat, if you want to handload hot rounds in .45Colt then go with a Ruger
Blackhawk, Bisley or Vaquero. The Ruger will take that stuff better than a S&W.
