I have a TRR8 I bought for bowling pin matches. It's the first revolver I've ever been able to shoot well double-action. I used 158 grain moly-coated cast hollowpoints in .38 Special cases loaded to +P velocity. This is the gun that made me fall in love with N-Frames. I use the iron sights...

I have a 327 TRR8 which is a PC gun, and I LOVE the thing. I bought it to shoot bowling pins (158 grain HP .38's), but it shoots 125 grain .357's every bit as well. I can hit bowling pins, center of mass, at 29', double-action under pressure with it. It's a shooter!

I'm trying to find something commercially available rather than custom. As I said, if the Competitor is a competition gun, surely there's someone making a competition holster for it already?

Hi, brand new here, but I came because this is the place for Smith N-Frame enthusiasts. I recently purchased a Y2K-vintage Lew Horton 629PC that looks a lot like the newer 629 Competitor, except it's polished, has an unfluted cylinder and Mag-na-porting: Since the Competitor is a...
