CC, the Midway link no worky - I think Midway has some sort of per-viewer key, which makes it hard to link deep into the catalogue...

Here is another snub I forgot to post with the original thread...

It is the S&W 325 a Scandium N frame .45 ACP revolver. Shown here with a 360PD for comparison. It is a bit big for easy concealed carry, but lighter than the .44 mag Model 29 or the 10mm Model 610 shown earlier. Kicks a bit, not pleasant recoil with the current grips, and having shot a lot of .45, even out of a Model 17 revolver, it was surprisingly sharp and snappy out of this model.

It ain't easy! I tend to buy a lot, but carry the same ones, or similar ones.
