S&W 327 2inch
I am interested in this pistol for my CCW. Given its size can it be comfortably carried AIWB? Thx

Cylinder scars badly with many other types of ammunition.

What about range ammo and damaging the cylinder?

Have done a lot of reading/viewing on this model. Lightweight, but an awfully big frame for IWB, my preferred carry method. I would prefer the J-frame magnum instead, much more comfy for IWB. YouTube videos seem to suggest the snub 327 concept is a gimmick, and that, even using care with ammo selection, damage on the titanium cylinder can frequently occur. You simply cannot have issues or "drama" with a carry piece. Thumbs down here.

P.S. Have seen chrono'd MV readings of barely 1,000 fps with a full magnum load.

He's asking about the s&w model 327 snub. Not a revolver to shoot the 327 cartridge.
I have a 327 "pug" i love it. I only shoot .357's to avoid a crud ring. It is a gun to buy new, so you have s&w warrantee behind you. I have zero problems with the cylinder if I did have a problem I'd request a stainless cylinder for a replacement.
It's an awkward thing to carry, but doable. The stock grips make it taller than it is long. I put some boot grips on mine.
One thing for absolute certain it is much easier to shoot than a J frame, more accurate and no problem with the magnum.

Instead of "big" "large" etc. can anyone actually measure the 327 snubbie dimensions? S&W, even Genitron has no idea and S&W "will get back to me". Gun stores don't keep them long enough to be bothered with such a question... This news published could be loads of help to many!

It's an N frame, best bet is to go find any N frame you can and aside from the barrel length that's how big the 327 will be. Closest to it would be a snubby 627 or 629 PC, chop off about 7/8" of barrel and you have it.
