S&W 327 snubby?

[Dov]

I love both my S&W Model 327....which actually surprised me because I got it simply to help out a young industry guy who needed some funds headed into the police academy and I ended up loving the thing.

Since you have a pair of them, have you thought about getting a double shoulder rig? IIRC Skeeter Skelton had two double shoulder rigs, one for a pair of Colt Commanders or Lt Wt Commanders & the other for a pair of Ruger Speed Six/Security Six.

Besides benefits of balance I'd think they be a lot slicker than the old Ruger DA revolvers, there is something about the DA trigger on the 8 shot N frames that really works well for me.

Not trying to rain on anybody's parade, if you like your 327 snub it's OK with me, but I think those things define FUGLY. Had S&W put a 3.5" barrel on a light weight, fixed sight, 8-shooter, I would stand in line to buy one.

Just sayin',

I only have one of each on the S&W 327 and .327 LCR. I do have a 627 Snub that is also awesome, but no matched set.

Keep in mind that I love my 296, so the 327 is only sort of horrible looking.

I have one...got a good deal on it, and while it’s weird looking, it is a good handling gun. I wouldn’t plan on threading 8 rounds in quickly, even with a moonclip (because the rounds are long and wobbly) but I really dig it for cruising around. I wish DSG could make a rig for it. I have Tucker Coverup for it but it is HUGE. It’s pretty controllable with even hot .357’s for me.

Milt Sparks actually makes an IWB holster for the 327 snub.

Damn, now I really want one.

I've wanted a 327 since this scene in the Sultan Sea (criminally underrated movie.)

For those who have one, how much larger is the 327 vs a J frame.
