I am a huge fan of the 8 shot, model 27/327/627 family of revovlers. I have more than my fair share of them
I also love the moon clips. I will load up 20-30 or so while watching the news the night before heading to the range. All my brass stays together and is easily pulled from the empty casings in the range bag (yes I bring auto loaders as well).
After shooting I will sit and de-moon while watching the news. I made a simple de-moon tool out of a piece pf pipe and one of those spongy bicycle style grips. Since it is hollow, I put the brass bucket on the floor and the brass slides through the tool, into the bucket and waits to be tumbled
If you are going to use moon clips, you need more than the 2 or 3 that came with the revolver. There is not much point loading and unloading moon clips at the firing line. You want to fire at the firing line
Then when the Scandium framed model 327s started to appear I was truly enamored. A 5" N-frame with the weight of a 4" K-frame . . WHOA
Then there are the Scandium Alloy snubbies. 8 shot, N-frames that weigh in like a 5 shot J-frame.
Yes you need a big pocket for these guys, but they shoot great. These will pocket carry rather discretely in the 5.11 Covert Khakis.
With my 627 Pinto, I have a second cylinder that is set up for 9x23 Winchester. That makes it able to fire most of the popular 9MM cartridges including 356TSW, 38 Super, 9x21, 9MM Parrabellum, 380 ACP and others.
The first NEW firearm I ever got was a 6" Model 27 about 4 decades ago, I guess that started me down the wheelgun path. BTW, I still own that one.
