Good morning gentlemen,
I hope this might be the right thread where to post and my question is not too stupid. My first revolver is a 686 4" , that I bought on an instinctive basis, feeling it fitting my hand as a glove. It was intended primarily for home defense, but I love shooting it at the range where it shows to be accurate and reliable.
Wishing a second revolver, I thought an 8 shots 5" barrel would have been the right choice, offering a bit more fun at the range while remaining easily manageable.
I really liked the 327 TRR8, but several reputable dealers strongly advised me against it, reporting intolerable recoil and a flimsy, unreliable structure unsuitable for the range.
I thought its weight would have made it easier to handle and still very manageable with the 38 spl. ammo I mainly use and that some 50 rounds monthly as a second handgun would have not put it in danger.
Although driving far away from my region, I finally had the nice opportunity to hold (although not to shoot..) and compare side by side the 627 PC, both 4" and 5", the 327 TRR8 and the 686 (although not 8 shots) of the same barrel length.
I found the grips more a less all the same, a bit shorter with less room for the little finger than in my 686, but still very comfortable. I felt the 627 4" a bit clumsy, the 5" extremely well balanced but a bit heavy and the 686 very close to what I already own.
The 327 seemed to me beautifully balanced and easy to hold even with a single hand, so that I happily bought it, but had to return it due to the weird occurrence I elsewhere reported.
Being not in a hurry, I could order any model at my LGD and easily wait for it to arrive.
On the one hand , the hearts wants what it wants , but on the other hand I'm really wondering whether the destiny ( or any equivalent as you might call it) is clearly telling me I don't have to buy a 327 , but rather shift to the 627.
Any advise and considerations?
