Model 327 TRR8

[41special]

Anyone have one of these? I'm considering ordering one up, haven't seen one in person yet. The one I'm looking at is the Performance Center with the green frame.

I have the 327 R8 5" . It's like the TRR8 with the exception that the lower rail on mine is not removable.
I do not recommend using their rails as they scratch the finish on the gun and in some cases with a heavy optic can unscrew the barrel. For this i better recommend mounting the optic to the rear- removing the rear sight and replacing it with an optic mount and optic.

It is a great gun ! If I only had a chance to shoot only one 357, it would be a 327 in a 5".

I love my TRR8.

Mine is one of the two tones. I have been shooting it for about 18 years now. The 327s with their multi piece tensioned barrels are probably the most accurate Smith & Wesson 357 Magnums I have ever come across

​

How can you not love an 8 shot, 357 Magnum revolver with a 5 inch barrel that weighs in like it's a 4 inch 6 shot K-frame

My nephew just bought the moss green version at the LGS and he loves it. Trigger is nice and he added a light with laser to the front rail. It's a very nice looking gun. The shop also had a new 44 mountain gun in stock so I picked that one up but I had to send it in to S&W for repair.

Yes. Had one for a while. It is my most favorite 357! I do not know about the :new" ones. Mine came in the Aluminum case.

I've had mine for a little over 9 years. Extremely accurate and a joy to shoot.

Ive had a TRR8 for a while however I recently bought a Redhawk 357 8 shot which sees more use. I won't be selling the TRR8 though.

I know right?

I had no idea they had been making them so long.

Would getting the green one be a mistake? I'm thinking about resale value down the road, I'd personally like the green frame but unsure how many other guys would.......

I own both the TRR8 and an M&P R8. They are well balanced and very accurate guns. Shooting full power loads through them is a lot of fun.

That Redhawk should take beast loads and laugh.

Love my TRR8!

Laser light for nightstand duty, with quick-release removal for the range. After a few hundred rounds, no issues.


Ordered it August last year. Local gun shop said 2-week delivery, but it took a month to arrive.

Best price I've seen is a tick under $1400

Picked up a black TRR8 this morning, having it shipped to my LGS.

This DT will be the 1st ammo I run over the chronograph. Box states 1420 fps out of a 6" if true that's pretty potent stuff.

I bought the TRR8 back in 2011. It had been my favorite revolver until I purchased the sister gun, the R8, in 2018.

They shoot exactly the same, but I like the aesthetics of the R8 more than the TRR8. It's why I put some nice wood grips on the R8.

The TRR8 was introduced in 2006.

The Semi Two Tone like mine was a Distributor Exclusive made as a small run in 2007 for Sports South. I added the Factory Combats to the revolver

The Moss Green and Black TRR8 is a limited offering that is availble through multiple sources

Hopefully you got a good deal on that black one

Looking forward to reading about your chronograph results. BTW let us know which chrono you use

What is not to like about most pistols/revolvers. I like my TRR8. Got it a couple years after they came out. If i ever need to breach a door with my ballistic shield i am ready to go. Till then i will use it for plinking for the most part.

I think I got a solid deal. They asked $1299, then 6% tax, $25 to ship & another $25 from my receiving FFL

So I'm right at $1400
