Well it shoots! Took the S&W 325 to the range today and it is a winner. No accuracy results, just slapping the 30 yard steel but probably shot it better than anything else I own.
Andy of course made it look easy
Spent a little time on the rifle range. My wife shot her new model 94 classic, I bought it for her 10 years ago, and she loved it. Rang 100 yard steel quite handily. Andy had the 22 K Hornet, it’s a hoot but he can elaborate. I was a bad friend, forgot to get a pic of him shooting it

Forgot to add, moon clips are a hoot

The 94 deluxe 30-30, I was so impressed with her shooting it I didn’t get a pic of that ether

I figured you just overlooked him

That's some BEAUTIFUL wood

Was a great day! Tom shot that 45 acp very well!! That was a fun gun to shoot!! I had the K Hornet out I was making cases today, just making steel ring, and making cases! I really like that little rifle! That said inwasnt going to let Tom have all the fun with a 45 acp revolver…. I have a Ruger flat top convertible I normally run 45 Colts in jt but I swapped the cylinders and had a ton of fun shooting it! It was fun to have Mrs Sako along today. She is a fun shooting addition. Great day! The Chili renellos were amazing!

I am a huge fan of moon clips in revolvers, and will probably be carrying my 325PD today.

Nice range trip and report!

Nice, local shop has another one like mine and one like your but priced kind of rediculous. Had 3 loads yesterday, A 185gr JHP, 200gr cast TC, and 230gr Hardball. Mine like the 185's the best.

And you don’t have to chase your brass all over the freaking range!!!! Big fan here too

Beautiful wood. And nice revolver.

Rifle was kind of a fluke, I walked right past it and the wife says "hey, what about this one? I like it" The rest is history. I load a 125gr HP flat tip bullet for her to mitigate the recoils and it shoots great.
The 325 is probably my new favorite revolver. Had been looking for the PD version for years but never found one I could afford. This one popped up at a great price and in all honesty, I think i like it better than the PD version.

He acts all cool and collected, but Ton was giddy as a school girl when he found it and when he was shooting it!! And he shoots that thing!!

The Winchester is gorgeous and I can’t wait to try out that Smith!
