[QUOTE="LBnM, post: 1064409, member: 817"] I'm always interested in others opinions of something I either like or dislike so I read Average Joe's review of the 325 Night Guard a couple of times. He had some good things to say about it but ended up not liking it. From his comments he would have disliked the 325 PD as well. One of his complaints I agree with and that is the grips. The ones that come on them are big spongy rubber that add a lot to the back of the grip. So it is a long reach for the average hand. The ones on my .44 Special (L frame, by the way -- not N frame as he stated) were taken off before I ever fired it. It feels perfect for me now. He did a fair amount of comparison to steel frame 4" revolvers or large automatics so I think he was comparing apples to oranges. He didn't care for the .45 ACP in a lightweight snub platform but that's the niche market it was designed for.
