Customer Reviews for Smith & Wesson Model 325 Personal Defense 45 ACP Revolver

I must agree with the prior analysis. I love this revolver. It shoots well at what would be 'usual' self defense distance. The sights were 'dead on' , as usual with a S&W revolver. You might think the gun would bounce given the big round and light weight. It does bounce but is much more controllable that I expected. The transaction with Buds was the usual flawless. I have bought multiple firearms from Buds and have always been very satisfied with the service and price.

I have one of these bad boys and I LOVE IT!! Although I did replace the wood grips which look good for display, with Pachmayr compac grips, the same that S&W puts on their night guard revolvers. I just can't shoot this gun enough!! It's great for carry because it weighs so little. I thought the light weight was going to be a problem but not with the Pachmayr grips since they cover the backstrap. Because it's a .45acp you have to use moonclips but I've gotten used to them and actually prefer them now! I just don't have anything bad to say about this little gun. The action is super slick, the trigger is nice and crisp and it's a lot more accurate than I thought it was going to be with the short barrel it has. I don't see myself EVER letting this one out of my collection!
