S&w m&p r8

[legalstalker]

Hey, so I am looking at picking up this sweet revolver in the new year.

So I wanted to start this thread to see what others that have this have done with thiers.
Holsters?
Scope?
Finish wear?
Whats the difference as some retailers list it as a 327 R8 and others list as M&P R8?
Lets hear what you think, as I can wait to order mine!

you put the wrong gun in your link..you put the photon powered Governator instead of the 8 shot 357, (as i like to call it)
i own an 8 shot..still unfired in the box.. it i my fav in my collection

So...after talking yesterday, it got ya all excited?

I checked it out, not a bad looking piece....but I still prefer the 686/Gp100 look.

I've read some owners' reports about the loose barrel (it's two piece barrel actually), just ok DA trigger and occasional misfires while not using the moon clips. For the price I'm going to keep on reading the owners' reports...good luck though.

Why does it have such a large gap in front and behind the cylinder ?

Cylinder is cut to accept the moon clips...which are not working so great with the long rounds like .357. Can be a reason for that.

Ya Mark, definatly excited about getting one, I hear you on the 686 and gp100 though. It is a bit pricy.
I am concerned with some of the negatives others have mentio0ned, I will definatly have to do more research on this.
more feedback from owners would be awsome!
