Question for S&W 327 PC Owners

[Octagun]

Mine definitely does not do that. Does it still rattle when the grips are off? You might want to give Smith and Wesson Customer Service a call and ask them what the rattle might be.

Yes the first thing I did was remove the grips. Nothing in there. It makes this sound with the hammer in any position and while holding the cylinder still. Sounds like it's coming from behind the side plate where the majority of the mechanics are located. The trigger also feels much rougher then I would expect as compared to my TRR8. The TRR8 has had 1 visit to the factory right after purchase. Maybe this will have to take the trip as well.

Not trying to hijack but this thread has the perfect audience. I just picked up a new 327 yesterday and it has a very loud rattle to it when shaken. My TRR8 does not have this. I removed the grips but nothing making noise in there. Has any other 327 owners experienced this?

Could be the 'hammer block'. Some are louder than others. Or I should say, some make more noise than others.
It 'sounds' fine to me.

If you can find a pair, Ahrends N frame boot grips are fantastic on a 327. I also have them on my Lew Horton 629-5 snub and my 627PC snub. They just fit beautifully and fill the hand just right.

Are they any shorter than the stock grips?

 

[No Quarter]

Yes they are. True boot grips. They do not extend past the butt of the grip frame.

It was the hammer block! When I apply light pressure to it with a screwdriver there is no rattle. Surprised how loud this one is considering my TRR8 makes no sound whatsoever. I guess just another example how each revolver can be unique. Thank you for the help.

How long did it take you to get them once you ordered them?

Glad you found the rattle. Things like that annoy the hell out of me.

Whose grips are they?

 

[No Quarter]

Those are Ahrends N Frame, Round Butt boot grips.

They took less than a week to be delivered. On Hogue's site they list each grips as either 'In-stock' or they provide a number of days it will take for them to make them. These were 'In-Stock'.

Thanks. Looked at the Hogue site. They make very nice grips for Smith and Wesson revolvers.

So I liked your Hogue bantam grips so much I just ordered a set in Cocobolo checkered. Unfortunately they are not in stock so it will take about 30 days to get them. Will post a picture when I get them.
