I did a little shooting today with the 325sc. Mostly I was using it for a match on another forum which involved hitting one inch circles, five rows of five, at 3,5,7,9 and 12yrds. Pretty difficult, especially in a dimly lit indoor range.
I used Magtech 230gr ball...it's a bit milder than typical defense loaded jhp stuff, probably mid to high 700fps range in this gun vs Win Ranger T which holds mid 800fps range-which is good velocity from a short barrel. So recoil is stiff, but not painful.
While I didn't get the highest score, I came pretty close.


With my remaining ammo, I rolled off some fast six shot groups at 5 and 7yrds, along with a slow SA group at the maximum 50ft distance at this range.


Despite being 21 or 22oz and silly light for a .45acp, it shoots very well accuracy-wise. Recoil borders on painful with real defense ammo, but tolerable with generic range ammo like this Magtech stuff. Trigger is crisp and approx 4lbs SA, a little stiffer DA than my other non moonclipped N frame (629-5) despite the lightweight titanium cylinder...about 11-12lbs.
It has acquired some 'crinkle' to the clearcoat over the years, but whatthehey, it adds character.

That's some fine shootin'. Especially with an air weight. Great day!!

Nice shooting. I have the 325sc also & I agree with your statements about it. Mine has the best/lightest SA/DA pull of my N frames. I took the original Ahrends off & put tactical fingergroove ones on. I shoot mine with a glove (not a shooting glove) that dampens the recoil on my 61 year old hands. I liked it so much I recently bought a 325pd 4" that I find a little easier to shoot. I have never had a light strike or crimp jump to this day. I believe there are only 300 of the sc's so they should hold their value but I'm not selling mine as long as I'm around.

very nice!I have always been a fan of magtec ammo

You're not the only one wearing gloves to the range. The company I work for now requires gloves 100%. My hands have turned into pansy hands. I bought fingerless weight lifting gloves for when I take the 44s to the range. Keeps me from being a blood donor!!

Iwish Smith would reintroduce the 325 both as a snub and as a 4". Didn't have the money when they came around the first time.

That's a nice gun!

The wood grips look nice too but they aren't helping with felt recoil. I try to remember to take my Badger grips off & put the factory Pachmyar Compac Custom grips back on my 325NG when I go to shoot 45 Super (185 JHP w/11.3gr Power Pistol) in it. Forgot once. Ouch!

It's a nice light show anyway.
