Default 327 PC Opinions

is the 327 pc all that its cracked up to be and are they worth $1000? I may be able to trade for one and wondering if any of you have have one, shot one, or sent one down the road and why.
The one i am looking at is scandium and titanium.
I love the snubbies but these are N frame.

thanks in advance for all the advice.

My opinion is that lightweight guns are easy to carry, but hard to shoot accurately without lots of practice. Unless a shooter has large arms and hands whose mass can help damp the recoil from a hot round, I think the standard steel versions of heavy-hitting revolvers are to be preferred. I have a 627 PC that I love, but I can't imagine shooting a whole bunch of .357 rounds from a 327. I don't know if you have that same sensitivity, but I'd just point out that $1000 is a lot to pay for a gun that is so uncomfortable to shoot that you will never practice enough to learn how to do it well.

Can't speak to the snubbie but the 5" TRR8 version is without a doubt the best shooting Smith I've shot. Just about perfect with 38+Ps.
