What have been your experiences with the following S & W revolver series?:

Night Guard
Personal Defense
Performance Center (those mfr'd for Personal Defense - for example, 586 L-Comp)

I think Night Guard series offers best value. Point great - even better than 325 Thunder Ranch.

The 340PD Crimson Trace, combined with Federal 125 gr. Nyclad, is my all-time favorite all-around concealed carry gun/ammo combination. Works great on-belt and in-pocket. Although to make a good shooter I've had to practice, practice, practice.

The Model 325 Thunder Ranch is a great revolver; you get a ton of value for the money. However, I don't like the accompanied grips. I replaced with Pachmayrs as on Night Guard Series. As such it is the best shooter out of the revolvers I've mentioned here.
