I have a 27-3 with the 8 3/8 barrel. Despite the long barrel it is by no means overly muzzle heavy as the barrel tapers and it is relatively thin at the muzzle. I always liked the look of the 27s with the 8 3/8 barrel. Mine shoots about as well as my 6" 686 which is a high compliment.
These days even with the long sight radius I don't see the open sights too well so the 27-3 does not see much range use.
