I’m looking for a new range toy . Love shooting falling plate racks .
Been considering the 627 Pro but have started to look at the R8 and the TRR8. Please tell me the good and the bad of these two and do they hold up well to high round counts ?
Thanks in advance.
The differences have been pointed out to you so I will not repeat them. I prefer the Model 327 TRR8 because I do not want a light on mine and I think it looks cleaner without the lower equipment mount in place
Other than that, they are essentially the same firearm
Scandium framed revolvers have only been with us for about two decades so far. It is much to early to tell how they hold up compared to steel.
I am a fan of Scandium frames. I think it is the best thing to happen to the N-frame revolvers since the introduction of Stainless steel. Think about it, we can now carry a 5", 8 shot, N-frame that weighs in about the same as a 6 shot, 4" K-frame.
Not to mention the doors that have been opened up for the shorter barrel Personal Protection firearms
My older 5" Model 327 has less rounds through it than my Model 327 TRR8 just because I like the look of the Model 327 TRR8 better
go for the 627,,, will last forever. TRRB's are more of a carry a lot shoot a little,,, I mean they hold up, however the extra weight and durability over the long term steel will serve you better.
Say What?
That is just not a true fact
First of all the Model 627 will not last forever. Nothing lasts FOREVER but I am forced to presume you were not being literal.
Secondly, the Model 327 TRR8 and the Model 327 M&P R8 were designed as shooters. Whoever told you otherwise was not speaking the truth.
Admittedly, my personal Model 327 TRR8 has only been putting 357 Magnum ammunition down range for just a little over a Decade. That represents tens of thousands of rounds of full power 357 Magnum ammunition over that time fired by myself, me family and my associates. The Model 327 TRR8 is still running great
My J-frame Model 340 has had over 7,000 rounds of full power 357 Magnum ammunition through it and it is also still running fine. That is probably more Magnum ammunition than the average owner will feed it in a lifetime or more. Easily 100 of my associates have taken the opportunity to shoot our off duty qualification course with the Model 340. Some passed some failed. With some practice most would qualify with the little powerhouse
