Item Description: The Night Guard series was made from 2008-2012. Scandium N frame, fixed rear combat sight. tritium front sight. The 327 NG is an 8 shot revolver chambered in 357 Magnum. 27.6 oz weight. A rare bird. If you're looking at the ad then I'm sure you're familiar with the revolver. This is an excellent example.
This one has been in my safe since 2012. The condition suggests an extremely low round count.

I have misplaced the stock Compaq Pacmayr grip. A new one can be had for >$40. The price reflects both replacement cost and a self imposed "dummy tax".

Please forgive the uninvited comment - but I wanted to contribute an endorsement for this gun. Many years ago I had a shooting student who was very well off and he had some exotic firearms - so I got to encounter them as a part of his shooting lessons. This gun was one of them. He bought it to the range and had never shot it. We stoked it up with hot .357 magnums and I was thinking that I wished I had bought mechanic gloves as the gun is light weight and I was sure it was going to tear our hands up (He wanted me to shoot it first).

I was PLEASANTLY very surprised to note that the recoil was not punishing. Again - these were HOT 357 magnum rounds - not cream puff .38s. The trigger was smooth and nice and I remember thinking "Wow - what a cool gun - I wish I had one of these".

This is a great gun - if I had the $$$ I wouldn't even hesitate to pick this up. The boot grips it is wearing go for about 140 bucks if memory serves - I think they are eagle boot grips or maybe Ahrends - can't remember - but I have owned those grips before too - and they are AWESOME for carry.

Again - sorry for the uninvited endorsement - but this is a cool gun you just don't see very often any more.

Thumbs up

Thank you Jake. I believe it to be a pretty fine weapon myself. I have put only 2 rounds through it. One to "feel", another because I could not believe how well the Smith handled the 125 gr.
Truthfully, I hate to part with it. It going to waste in my safe is killing me though. Maybe it's an existential crisis or something? My hope is someone will take it, appreciate it, and use it as it was intended. I'm scared to yoke the finish. I seem to have no worry with dragging a polymer EDC through the mud, though.

Great eye on the Ahrends. Had Ahrends fashion a holster to boot. It's shrunk from never holstering the pistol. What a shame. Some conditioner and a patience and it would be an awesome Sunday best carry.
