325PD price check

[Drm50]

Need prices on 325PD like new but fired. Can't find one listed to
get price idea.

Gunbroker SOLD is in the $850 range

Around $800-900. I sold one as you describe about 2 years ago for $800, and it sold pretty fast. As you've experienced, there aren't that many available anymore.

I bought one with box, paperwork, 15 moon clips, extra Pachmayer grips in August for $800. Probably had been fired but hard to tell by looking at it. Don't see them all that often. Good luck.

...to add to g8rb8's list, there is also a super scarce clear coat version of the 325PD Airlite. I have no idea what they're worth because they are seldom seen for sale anywhere.
Here is one in a 10 year old ad...gotta love that price, and it took near a month to sell.

I assume your looking at the 325PD Airlite....
I traded a Ruger Match Champion +$50 for one not too long ago. Ended up having to replace the strain screw due an attempted Bubba action job but it is a great gun now.

It has pretty stout recoil with those factory wood grips though. In my opinion it hurts more than my 327 PC snub in .357mag
Definitely a cool gun though. Love the V Notch sights

Small world Luke.

What was up with the strain screw? I had it back out on me once, which is to be expected under that recoil.

I kinda hated to let it go. I could've mastered the recoil but it's too bulky for carry and I just had other priorities.

I paid 700 OTD but that was an exceptional deal IMO.

Very small world!
I had about a 50% light primer strike with it. Replaced main spring with a Wolff standard power and extended firing pin. Then I finally checked the strain screw (should have been the first thing I looked at) and it looked like someone took a grinder too it.

Works great now though

I recently posted a few of my guns up for trade including that 325PD. Still looking for my unicorn gun(s)

LGS had one priced at $700 last year and it went home with me. I've shot a couple hundred rounds through it and even regular 45 ACP loads are a handful. Light reloads are manageable, but anything beyond that I limit to 1 cylinder full.

I replaced the front and rear sight on mine. They were experimenting with a "V" notch rear sight and I didn't like it. I also got rid of the fiber optic front sight.
