Smith & Wesson Model 325 Night Guard .45 ACP, 2.5 in Barrel, Scandium N-Frame, DA/SA Revolver
The Smith & Wesson Model 325 Night Guard is a lightweight, big-bore N-frame revolver chambered in .45 ACP with a 2.5 inch barrel. This example pairs a scandium-alloy frame with a stainless-steel fluted cylinder, both in a matte black finish, and features a Trijicon H3 tritium front sight with a fixed U-notch rear. It comes with its factory label-matched case, extra grips and is in very good condition with an excellent, clean bore.
Built in the late 2000s to early 2010s Night Guard series, the 325NG delivers six-round DA/SA operation in a compact, carryable format. The revolver retains the model marking "325 NG" in the yoke cut and includes the internal keyed lock located above the cylinder latch.
The 2.5 inch barrel uses a short underlug, and the round-butt N-frame wears a one-piece textured synthetic grip. Overall length is approximately 7.625 inches with an unloaded weight of about 28 oz, providing a strong balance of size and weight for a .45 ACP revolver.
Sight configuration is straightforward and durable: a Trijicon H3 tritium night sight blade up front and a fixed U-notch rear on a robust two-screw base. The matte black finish across the scandium-alloy frame and stainless-steel cylinder keeps glare to a minimum while preserving the Night Guard aesthetic.
Factory markings include the S&W trade mark seal with "REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." and "SPFLD, MA S&W U.S.A." The factory blue hard case is label-matched to the 325NG with SKU 163421, and the package includes both Pachmayr and VZ replacement grip options.
