Thinking of purchasing the Model 325 TR45. Does anyone have any comments or pictures of theirs? Pros and cons?
Thanks,

Here' mine after a days shooting. I had some issue with failure to fire with loose rounds with some ammo. I curred this with the C&S long firing pin. The trigger is very sharp at the top and would cut me or at least wear hole in my finger, I took the sharp edges off and it is fine now. In all it is a very nice gun that you will enjoy. I love the light capability on a revolver. I don't carry it much, but found it fits my Galco duel position Phoenix holster for a 4" 629.

At 34 oz it seems about right me. But the 625 weighs more so less recoil.

I love mine...a bit tight in the Phoenix holster, but Rafters will make one for a reasonable fee and then there are other custom holster makers. Without the rail attached it fits anything, but I love the rail capability, and with a Green laser it is accurate to much longer ranges....

ENH (or anyone with the same part),
I think I see the extension lever for the on/off switch on your X200. Which extension lever is it, maybe the 1911 one? And have you had a chance to test it yet, does it work normally like on an auto?
And TJ,
I know a laser can be an unbelievable help for me with 1911 accuracy at a distance – can you share anything about this with the M325? I haven’t used or seen a laser & wheelgun.combo…

Poohgyrr,
The on/off lever on the Surefire 300 is the only one made, I think. The difference being on an auto you can push it on momentarily with forward pressure and and fire the gun. With the revolver you can't reach it and if you do and fire the gun with your finger near the switch... OUCH! So it becomes either a steady on or off light. I like the 300, but have not tried others. I like and use lasers with CT grips and may ad the laser that is available as an add on.

I was looking for a 325 when I came across the 327 M&P R8. My Supplier was out of the 325's for "A long while", so, I picked up the 327 and really like it. Now, I am waiting for the 325.
The quick reloads for the 325 sure would be nice.

Once again, American Handgunner insists in its latest issue that these guns will fire individual loose rounds without moonclips. Those who have actually bought and paid for these revolvers are finding that this is not the case.
There is reason to believe that these alloy framed, frame mounted firing pin moonclip guns are not all they're made out to be in terms of versatility and longevity. And keep in mind that I'm not even criticizing the MIM parts and lock.
I wouldn't want one of these and I'd gladly pay more for an older gun that's made of steel.

Opps, thanks. OK, a different monitor shows a clearer pic. I still have an X200, and somehow with the lighting on your pic and on my monitor it looked like you had the optional 1911 extension for the on/off lever. I use a Sig extension, and it is shaped differently.
Yup, I don't want my finger next to the cylinder gap, which is why I asked about the extension.
