That is a good price. I formerly owned a 310 NG and foolishly sold it. Full power 10mm was an eye opener from the scandium frame. 45 ACP seems reasonable. I like the XS sights.

Yeah… that’s for someone a lot tougher than me.

I had a 329 in 44 mag. With 180’s it was truly awesome!!!
Currently have a 325 and it will be with me till the end. Excellent carry revolver. Surprisingly easy to hit with out to 15-20 yards.

Steal for sure, The hole is an easy fix. I plugged both my 325s and every other lock gun I have

The recoil isn't bad with the 325s with the right grips

GREAT Deal

Congratulations on the new addition to the family

I was a big fan of the Night Guard revolvers as soon as they came out I just think they were introduced at an unfortunate time in the life of concealed carry here in America

Also the price point when new was a big issue for a lot of people



I currently have three of the night guard revolvers . . . a 310NG, a 327NG and a 357NG. I have owned these for about 15 years now and I'm very happy with them

My 310 just like all of my 610 revolvers has had the chambers lengthened so that in addition to the 10MM Auto cartridge that they left the factory chambered for they can now chamber and fire the 10MM Magnum cartridge as well. Of course they still are able to chamber and fire the 40 Smith and Wesson cartridge

I wish I had picked up one of the 325NGs back when they were in production. I did own a 386NG but I sold it off after I bought the 327NG. I just didn't see the need for it any longer

Ya, I have a 296 and a 396, But really don't need them any more. They may be a bit smaller and lighter than my 325s, but not much.

Congrats on the good buy! I'd have been all over it too. At that price, I imagine if you went home to think about it, it would be gone next time you visited.

Great find!
At that price you can afford a plug.

I would be interested to hear about your first range session.

My 325 NG had very poorly regulated sights. It shot so low that it was not appropriate for self defense beyond a couple of yards.

Shooting the 325NG…
Like most snubbies, I feel like I have to bear down a little harder. Once I had the feel for it I could hit shotgun clays on the ground at 15 yards 9 out of 10. Sights were right on for 230gr rounds.

Are you referring to a 325PD or a 325NG?

Default Maybe

Other than the obligatory 50 round range session, it'll probably just get stowed with the other 25-30 Smiths I have. No, I do not know why I won't shoot them, however, some are wood boxed examples that have never been shot so...

That's an incredible buy from I'm guessing an uniformed seller. I have a 327 NG that I bought new and wouldn't sell it for 4X that amount.

I've got a 310 Nightguard. Full power 10's will definitely wake you up.
I'll run .40 S&W through mine when I want to shoot on the cheap.
