The only thing better than a 327 8 Round 357 would be - Two.

Okay that is a smart mouth answer. The 327 is a 2.5" barrel and I am as happy as happy can be with that gun for the purpose I will use it for. My next 8 Round will have a longer barrel, for hiking use. In fact I'm working close with Santa right now on just such an item, keeping my fingers crossed.
