Smith and Wesson Model 327 M&P R8 Revolver

Well since I am on this Revolver kick, I just found this on the smith and wesson website. Interesting concept for a 357 mag considering it is an 8 round revolver. Picatinni rails etc. Here a pic and a link .

i love this gun but the $1400 could be better spent on other guns that have better value

You can actually buy it in Canada! http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=303800

I would buy one because I am light on revolvers.

They make a 627 without a rail. In stainless. Kinda nice.

Definetly my next revolver purchase.

A friend has one and it's a very nice shooter EXCEPT when you are running 357 Magnum loads. The Scandium frame is very light and that trnslates into heavy recoil. I was in pain after 16 rounds and I had gloves on.

When loaded with 38Sp +P loads it becomes really comfortable to shoot.

It is on my remaining list of top 10 firearms to own.

Only 10?

You have very low standards or lots of gun.

Laugh. Did I forget to add in those that I can legally own?

#1 firearm on my list would be a FN-FAL, but since I cannot legally own it. It isn't on my list.

I already got my #1 sought after firearm. only another 4 or five I NEED. Many left that I want

Low Standards? Simple things like wheel guns to make me happy

Personally, doesn't do it for me. And the 'rail' must be cosmetic only? Hanging anything off it would look totally lame.

For $1,400 I'd sooner have a minty Colt Python. Or spend 1/2 on a used/exc S&W 586/686 and have the rest to spend on other stuff.

Whatever floats your boat.

In my (biased) opinion the 327 performance center is a great gun. Very comfortable and the SA trigger is excellent.

It aint cheap, but most nice things aren't. If you compare after exchange rate, the price in Canada is actually significantly cheaper than the MRSP in USD. How often does that happen?

I think Its neat. Be cool to have it mixed in with the old school stuff. I am surprised at how much Revolvers costing are compared to what I thought they were worth. Like I said before I was always a semi fan. If you look at the S&W website you can see for yourself.
