Here's a S&W .32 K frame with 8-3/8" barrel. Not something you see very often.

Great to see it! Thanks for the photos.

I do covet it, I'm afraid. It'd go so well with my long-snouted Model 14 and Model 17.

Beautiful gun that deserves a better set of grips when having it's picture taken.

As did I....

Yes, it started out as a Model 14-4 in .38 Special. Added an 8-3/8" Model 17 .22 barrel bored out to .32, a Model 16-4 .32 H&R cylinder, sent it all to Andy Horvath and waited about a year. About the same as what I did before when I wanted an 8-3/8" .44 Special: The seldom-seen 8-3/8" .44 Special

Here's the .327 with its .44 Special big brother:

While I admit that these Sile stocks aren't the best looking, they have factory S&W stocks (whether target or magnas) beat all hollow for comfort and feel. Except for Cokes, in my opinion factory S&W stocks are mostly for lookin' at, not for shootin'.
