Default 325NG fun

I got mine last year & really enjoy it, as I'm sure you will too. I put a red ramp on the front & an adjustable sight on the rear as I'm just used to a traditional sight picture (you know the old dog joke). I also put some black/gray Badger grips on it which really look good but don't feel so good when I shoot 45 Super loads in it.

I like your pics! Here's mine, though they aren't as nice as yours.

329NG & 325NG


325NG & 45 Super load

I have one almost like it also. Mine has 10MM on the barrel.

You are right about the rubber grips feeling better when you fire it. I put 50 rounds through my 315 Night Guard in a match a couple weeks ago. The S&W Boot Grips came off when I got home. I believe I would have been leaking blood in another couple cylinders full.
It does not look as good with rubber grips on it, but it sure handles better.

I agree. I forgot my rubber grips one trip to the range & without them the metal grip frame strap really let's you know it's there with hot loads. Standard 45ACP are okay but once your hand hurts, it's too late. The rubber ones are nice & cushy.

My lamo camo Hogue Monogrip came in this afternoon. Got it installed and snapped some new pics. With the checkering and palm swells it feels WAY better than the factory rubber. Kinda easy on the eyes too...

I got lucky and found an older set of factory "Combat" stocks to replace the rubber on my 325 NG.





These have always been the most comfortable fit for my hand on a RB N-frame.

Took the 325NG to the range this afternoon. Sent 100 rounds down range and let me just get this outta the way,

I am in love with this gun!

Set up at 10yd and was amazed at how easy this thing made punching the center outta every target I put up...



This was the second target of the day. Six rounds went into it somewhere in there...





Not too shabby for a 2.75" snubbie chambered for an auto cartridge. The trigger is amazing, the XS tritium front dot is spot on, and even with the lightweight scandium alloy the big ole N-Frame soaked up every bit of recoil the .45acp had to offer. The Hogue monogrip was a great upgrade from the factory rubber. It feels great and the finger grooves combined with the checkering allow for excellent control. Honestly the moon clips are a real PITA, but it's worth putting up with at the range every so often. I know there are de-mooner tools out there, however my solution is using a 5/16" punch to pop the casings out of the clip. Works like a charm and didn't cost me a dime. Can't wait for my leather to show up so I can start carrying this bad boy...

No but they did make a 325PD in 4", main differences are the sights and the titanium cylinder.
