Default 8 shot revolver thread...

Let's see those pictures of your 8 shot revolvers. Thank you to all.

Here is my Model 27-8 with an 8 shot cylinder and a 5 inch barrel. It is a Performance Center gun, and was distributed by Lew Horton in 2007. There were only 258 made and mine is #132. I am in love with this gun, and am amazed at how well the sights line up. The charging holes are chamfered and it's cut for use with or without moonclips. A very nice touch, I have to say. The checkered topstrap is not as cool as it used to be, but cool nonetheless.
I put these Culina, English Walnut, Coke profile, Exhibition Grade, checkered targets on it. I changed the rear sight blade to a shorter .146 for Dead Center Hold instead of the factory 6 O'clock Hold. I also removed the lock mechanism and installed The Plug. I doubt I will ever need to buy another newer S&W in .357 Magnum because simply I don't think I can do much better than what they did here with this one.
