Any advise on anything about the PC R8 327 revolver? Just got another one in very good to excellent condition. Checking to see what year it was made. This one is going to be a vehicle companion and a bedside/pillow gun, not a safe queen. I had both a TRR8 and a R8 but sold both of them. They were like brand new and couldn't pass up the profit i made for another project. This one is going to be used, fired and kept this time.Really do not know much about these revolvers. For the bedside, I will load 3-38 SPL+P's hollow point defensive rounds followed by 5-357 mags rounds.I love the 8 round capacity and with the ejector and moon clips and 3-8 round speed loaders, I should be able to hold off any threats. Been training with reloading it and almost as quick as my STI tactical 1911 to reload. Revolvers just work, and have very few moving parts. Reliablity at its best.

Congratulations on the new addition
If you received the box with it, the date of manufacture is printed right on the end label

Just if you are going to keep the top rail on, keep it on. If you don't like it, don't bolt it on. The steel rail scratches up the top of the barrel pretty badly or so I've noticed. This bugs me more than the paint chipping away at the trigger stop due to constant use. It's unavoidable.
I recently replaced that rear V-notch with a square one. But that WAS my personal preference. Some people I've heard like them. If you can live with it, fine. I couldn't.

Love that Hivis sight. Can you tell me where you bought it? I promise I'll get it in green lol. Is it possible to get it outloned as a night sight. Its was slightly scratched already on top. But this is a working everyday revolver, so It didnt bother me for the trade I made for it.

Amazon has them. I've also had them from Midway USA.
Just make sure it's for an N frame-interchangeable (should be the only ones for S&W revolvers )
