The 325 Night Guard pairs .45 ACP performance with a compact 2.75-inch barrel and a listed 28 oz weight, making it a notable short-barreled N-frame. The scandium-alloy frame reduces weight while maintaining N-frame dimensions, and the stainless cylinder wears a matte-black PVD finish to match the frame.
The barrel is a two-piece, heavy-profile stainless design with a visible inner liner. Sights are factory fixed: a Cylinder & Slide U-notch rear is matched to a tritium front sight marked "Trijicon H3 10" for low-light visibility.
This revolver is double-action/single-action with a smooth-faced trigger and an exposed hammer. An internal key lock is present. It is designed for .45 ACP using half- or full-moon clips and has a 6-round capacity.
Aftermarket VZ G10 grips are installed, featuring a red/black layered pattern with finger grooves and checkering for a secure, tactile hold. An additional set of VZ G10 grips is included. Markings include the S&W trademark logo on the left sideplate, "SPFLD, MA S&W U.S.A." on the right side of the frame, and "325 NG" stamped on the yoke/crane.
