Love the 327PD!

Bhfromme · Jan 18, 2023

Ok let's have a discussion on the Model 327PD. One of these days I'm probably going to break down and get a 327 TRR8 but I'm more interested in discontinued models and would much rather buy a 327PD but man they're hard to find.

I've got both 3rd and 4th Editions of SWSC and there's a photo of a 2" 327 that is incorrectly labeled 327PD but that's all I can find in either edition on the Model 327PD. I've found little blurbs here and there online but find it odd that the 327PD has been left out of the SWSC.

S&W started making them in 2008 but I'm not sure how many years they were cataloged. I would love to hear from people who have owned or fired some rounds downrange from a Model 327PD...

I no longer own a 327PD, but I do still have my 357PD which I have owned since the revovler was released about 18 years ago

When it comes to the Scandium framed model 327s variants, I had decided to accept the purchase offer from someone with more money than me. After all the 327PD did not do much that my other 4 327s did not also do so I took the financial windfall

I still own my Pug Nosed 2" 327PC, my 2 1/2" 327 Night Guard, my 5" Titanium shrouded 327JM and my two tone 327 TRR8

I have the small 327s under control. The 327PD offered little advantage over the 327 TRR8 if I am carrying a larger N-frame. The few ounces of weight savings of the 327PD's titanium cylinder over the 327 TRR8's steel cylinder is not enough to matter since carrying a revolver that size would probably mean I was using a belt holster.

Love your pics except the pug nose still makes me flinch a little when i see it. It is like putting pictures of beautiful blacks labs with an ugly pug picture snuck in. Imho

I'm reading those 2" 327s are good shooters but yes, I agree. They certainly aren't the prettiest guns out there. At least in my less than humble opinion that is.

My 327PD......

It is the only gun with a lock I own.
With his work shoes

And his dress shoes

Enjoy

As mentioned, not a big weight difference between a Ti cylinder & a Ss cylindered revolver.

The big weight gain is in the Sc frame's weight & two piece barrel.

I removed the Ti cylinder from my 329PD & replaced it with a Ss 629 cylinder.

I think my 17 Year Old Twins would take exception to that remark
