8 shot .357 decision time 627PC,327PC or..

[Kingspoke]

Hmm..... I'm leaning Redhawk. When that guy in the video smacked those two revolvers together I winced, and he lost me. That's when I decided.
I've watched a few vids of a guy with 627pcs that had issues,and sent it back to the mother ship a few times...so any machine can give you problems. However, the Redhawk just looks like right for my big hands,and my grip. If a revolver doesn't fit you..nothing else matters.

So true! You just have to feel good and confident in what you carry and shoot, and be able to appreciate the character of the weapon! Both are quality firearms!

My Only 8 Shooter.........

at least for now, is this 327PD

The only slabside I like

A 27-8 would be a nice addition.

I was on the same boat last year. I can't decide if I would go with 627, 327, or 686+. I happen just ran into a 327pc (which was very difficult to find at my area). I'm really happy that I got it.

The N frame size help control the recoil. The light weight (we are talking J frame weight!!!) allow me carry it all day around the house and not just leaving it by night stand. And the 8 rounds of 357mag give me a peace of mind that i won't be out gunned.

Just get yourself a rubber grip. The wood grip that it came with are for show. The rubber grip will help you grip on that thing and soften the recoil.

I have Pachys on my .44 Redhawk and would probably do the same to the .357 Redhawk. All the guns I shoot in magnum calibers wear rubber grips. They may not be handsome,but nothing beats them for control and comfort.

This is how my .44 rolls...thousands of rounds through it..never a problem and dead nuts accurate.One of the first year Redhawks made.

I will keep a 327PC on my radar screen..that light of an 8 shot .357 revolver just can't be passed up..

Back out to plow more shnow... (not a typo..I spell it SHnow..like the 4 letter S word..)

I had the same 627/327 dilemma last month. Went with the 327, it's nice.

I believe I'm going with the night guard 327. Light..looks kinda like a snubby 28 if you squint real hard.. and is a S&W.

I have carried the 627 in a 2 5/8 length for duty. Of course I wear a suit instead of a uniform so I could get away with it....until I had our "High speed low drag" want-a-be office range officer tell me I had to go Hi cap. I would still be carrying it today if I could and I do off duty. You can get full size Altamonts and it will feel good and sing like a bird.

I'm not a big fan of two piece barrels.

I have a 686+ Pro and 627 Pro. The 627 with a 5" barrel and the 686+ with a 6" barrel. Both are great however I do notice the extra size of the 627.

What are your thoughts on the S&W M&P R8?

Can't overlook that one!

Indeed. I had one, and sold it. And regret that sale every day. Do have a look at the R8.

Absolutely love mine with the combats. Light but handles and shoots great. I've put several thousand rounds through this one.

I love the 627. Favorite 357 Mag ever.
