I've shot GS out a 2.75 66 and yes it's noticably less ferocious than American Eagle 158.
OTOH, once 357 is tamed to a "carry" load and especially in a 2", now it's in the category of a 9+P. A whole 'nuther universe of guns opens....

Five rounds isn't enough. No, six rounds isn't enough. No, seven isn't enough. Ok, 8 is plenty. Now, to carry it comfortably, gotta be small and light. So this is how you do that.
Ok, so maybe five is enough.

This gun has been on my "to own" list for some years now. But I'm not paying anything approaching stupid pandemic prices for one right now.
If I could score a clean used one for around $800 or so, I'd be all in.

I own 2 2+3/4" 325s and a 296 and a 396, The 3/4" more barrel is not hard to cover up if your covering a l or N frame. It does look a bit better and give you a bit more radius and velocity.
But seriously these scandium framed guns are so light that they carry easy. No one has ever noticed any of mine and remarked about it.

Not interested. Much prefer K to N frames to begin with. That...........did not get hit with the ugly stick. It IS the ugly stick.
If I was going to get a 8-shot .357 it would be a 4inch or 5inch.

Bought one used on a whim several years ago....Never shot it.....sold it.........hated that I sold it......replaced it which cost me more money than the one I sold........I expect this one will not see the light of day and someday I forget I have it.
As John Wayne would say, "I like the way you think, Pilgrim!"
I have the 327 R8, w/a 5" barrel. Probably not going to ever use it CCW, (but I am seeking recommendations for a holster...one that straps around the shoulder and stays under my left arm.)
It's the best revolver that I've found to make me look so good at the range. Very comfortable shooting .327 mag w/little recoil.
Surprised too that so many folks at the range had never even heard of the 327 R8...even one guy who works at my LGS(!)

I wouldn't buy one, myself. Give me one and I'll get back to you, but it may be a loooong time before it takes the place of one of my carry guns....if ever. I'm thinking never.

One snubbie in 357 was enough for me. The m58/4" barrel is my limit on shorties.

Realizing that yes, admitting it is the first step to wellness.........I am a dyed in the wool revolver man plain and simple. I am defenseless against a really nice revolver for sale. Make it a J-frame and............... just don't tell my accountant!
You're fine as long as you stay over 125 grn. Manual spells that out. Light bullet cartridges erode the coating on the Ti, then things get interesting.
So is this gun ugly, just a bit more barrel and "only" 6 rounds of 45 acp
