Got a really bad urge for the Model 327 Trr8 revolver to add to my collection. Of course as with many guns, when you want one they disappear into the woodwork. Any 'insiders' to the S&W manufacturing want to tell me to calm down and that they're coming, just right around the corner?

I have so many notification requests out there I can't count them all lol.

I also was looking for a TRR8 I put out several notify me when in stock request. I got lucky and was notified within a week it from sportsmans outdoor superstore I bought it shortly after the notification. apparently they only got one in. I checked back at the same dealer later that day and it showed out of stock again. A friend was in Cabelas in league city, Texas earlier this week and they had one in the display case $1349.00 if I recall correctly put out the notification request you may get lucky
 
Thanks for the hints and leads guys. I just called the League City Cabellas and they currently do not have one in either new or used form. Must have been sold off.

You can always go to LGS that is a Smith dealer and he can order one. May take awhile but you will get a good price
 
Ive seen prices all over the board lately, and am a little gun-shy on pre-ordering price unknown (pardon the pun). But thanks for the suggestion just as well.

If anyone sees one out and about, please let me know. I don't offer any finder fees lol, but you'll make a fellow S&W collector very happy :-)
 
I see a few popping up on GB, used. But still hanging on for S&W factory to come through - argh lol.
 
OP, I know how you feel. Had the one I was looking for slip out of my fingers before Christmas. LoL.
 
Oh yeah it's here! I checked out all the mounting screws for the rails and one of the smaller screws on the low side rail was a little buggered up and wouldn't thread in all the way. Also one of the sideplate screws was a little tweaked from manufacture. I called S&W customer service and they're sending me replacements. Yeah I could just live with it but hey its new and it should arrive that way. They are sending me some new screws promptly. Looking forward to some good shooting soon.
 
Congratulations

That is one fine addition to the Family

I find my 327 TRR8 to be one of the most accurate 357 Magnum revolvers I have ever owned.
 
I put a holo optic on mine and use EZ moons. One of my favorite and most accurate .357 magnums with superb accuracy.8 rounds,on target..with authority. Mine wears rubber Pachmyers. Ugly but dances well. It's a keeper.

Colt_saa where did you get the wood grips from? And is it just the light angle in the pic or did you do a little polishing and/or replacing on the cylinder latch and hammer? Looks great!

No polishing,
That is all as it left the Factory except for the grips. Those grips are late 90s production Factory Combats

Sports South had Smith & Wesson do up a couple hundred two-tone Model 327 TRR8s back in 2007

They are product code 170298

This one stays with me, the serial number is my birthday :D

So you have to tell us how you found it. Got on a notify me when available list? just got Lucky? whats the story?
 
Congrats on landing one! I've kept and eye out for a sharp TRR8 or R8 ever since I saw Maggie carrying a R8 in Season 5 of The Walking Dead. Always wondered where SHE found that one, LOL.
