The 8 Shot Revolver

I just traded for this S&W 327, 8 Shots (.357/.38+P) with a 2" barrel. It will make a great companion for my S&W 340PD I carry in my pocket. Highvelocity and I are going to take it out for a range test next week.

Eight rounds of .357? Dang. Didn't know y'all had problems with rabid dump trucks and rogue Chevy small-blocks out that way...
I'd warn you about the recoil from that lightweight frame, but if you carry a 340, you're already quite aware of it.
Nice carry piece, and quite effective. My father has the 327's older brother, a 3" 27-2, given to him by a friend. They're potent snubbies, and sweet shooters.

I can shoot the .38 +P all day in the 340PD, but only about 20 rounds of .357 is enough for me. I will shoot the 38's first then the .357 just in case it ends my day. I can't say what HV will do, but I will let you know.

That is a beautiful looking revolver. I think it's the first gun I've seen that is both nice to look at and gives the impression of "all business" at the same time.

That is one cool pistola and I can't wait to shoot it.

Rat's, I think I need one of those! I love my SP101 but 8 rounds sounds cool

Can I provide some rounds for HV to shoot? Please? Loaded with baby powder......very little recoil
Let's just say they have a little spirit...I know HV to appreciate such things.
They were once described to me by a dear friend that first gave me the load:
"Son, it will feel like someone is beating you on the wrist with an axe handle....I think you will like it!" LOL.

Regarding the (12 ounce) 340 and full-blown .357 loads, the best analogy I ever heard was "Do you remember what it was like to hit a baseball and break a wood bat in real cold weather?"
I know not what that little 8-holer weighs, but sumthin tells me that you may be in the market shortly for some overmolded rubber grips.

To me, a 2" N-frame just looks
odd . . . considering the size of the revolver itself, making a snubbie out of it isn't my cup of tea.
. . . you may be in the market shortly for some overmolded rubber grips.
I've got a 340SC . . . I put on a set of Crimson Trace lasergrips that "rubberize" the backstrap. Now shooting a cylinder full or two of .357s isn't painful, merely unpleasant.
