8 round 357 magnum
Removable lower rail
Upper rail
All for around 1,300 dollars
Any thoughts?
>>30468875
If I had 1,300 dollars to blow I wouldn't mind one, but there are more practical options, like a 1911/Glock 21 with a .460 Rowland conversion kit.
>>30468875
>lock
Nope.
If it completely changed marketing in how they show S&W revolvers its not worth it.

I don't know why anyone would carry a revolver when they had the option not to.

>>30469427

What do you perceive these different purposes to be? They are both basically for handgun hunting and wilderness defense against medium wild animals.
>>30469453
I'd say a revolver with a bunch of tacticool rails is probably more around target / Silhouette shooting and a glock is well...a glock. They both *can* do the same thing but it should not be the only plane the gun is judged on

>>30469475
You can target shoot with literally any gun ever made. A double-action revolver is not traditionally thought of as a "target pistol." Also, the rails indicate a practical use other than target shooting, such as handgun hunting, home defense or wilderness defense.

Don't blame me because you either can't explain your own opinion or else your opinion doesn't actually make sense.

Your opinion is literally this immature and nonsensical.

I have one. I like it a lot. Mine is an R8 and not a TRR327, but the only difference is the removable lower rail (fixed on the R8 and the R8 is actually an ounce lighter).
Very accurate. I did change the springs for a lighter pull. I have put probably about 10000 through it this year with no issues. It shoots 158 WFNs very well.
Uses all brands of moon clips without issue.
I do not like the hogue grips so I changed them for Miculeks.
They're only like 1k on Buds, 1300 is way over the average rate. I think some guy has been trying to sell a TRR327 on arfcom for a while around the $900 mark.
I will add the lower rail does affect holster choices. The Bladetech and Safariland n frame holsters I had will work fine, but I know aside from that choices are low. I use a DAA Racemaster normally because I like playing quickdraw mcgraw.

I have one. Its a fantastic gun. Easily the most accurate revolver I own and I occasionally use it for my carry gun. Handles full load 357s very easily. Forget about the tactical rail bullshit. Just buy the gun and enjoy shooting it.
>>30470661
>what are ergos?
Revolver ergos suck. The top of the grip slips out of your hand with recoil - there's no nice beavertail for it to cup your hand with. The finger grooves on this gun especially are puke-inducing, even compared to a Glock. And the fact that there is no recoil-reduction system, like all tilting barrel semi-autos have by virtue of design, all of the recoil is going to go right into your hand all at once, so you will eventually get soreness from shooting it.
>what is a nice double action?
A ten pound, long pull. You fucking retard.
>What is a 1.5 pounds crisp single action trigger?
You're an idiot. The trigger pull on this gun is not 1.5 pounds. Try 4 or 5 pounds. Also, you have to manually cock the hammer in between each shot if you want to shoot single action. A Glock trigger can be tuned up to be just as crisp, and to break at the same weight, with different drop-in kits that don't require a gunsmith to put into the gun.
Dumb nigger.

>>30468875
For $1300 dollars, you can buy a Five-seveN and dozens of 20 round magazines.
A gun that is more concealable, lighter, faster shooting, more deadly.
If that revolver was $400, it might be interesting as a play time gun.
>>30471272

With reduced power main and rebound springs trigger pull in mine is around 5.5-6 DA and under 4 SA.
Only downside is that I have to use CCI or federal primers for 100% reliability, but I have to do that in my Glock with reduced power springs too.
>>30471377
Oh, and the idea that you can have a Glock trigger be "crisp" is ridiculous. You can improve a glock trigger, I've never felt one that I considered "crisp".
Pic related, it's a special snowflake overpriced trigger that cost a lot more than some spare springs for a revolver, and still feels like shit in comparison.

You can push .357 a lot harder in a beefy ruger than you can 10mm in a glock.
>>30471557
>muh beefy rugers
Let's not get carried away with the fuddlore, shall we? The calibers are directly comparable. If you want APPRECIABLE difference, then you can step up to a .44 magnum in a revolver, but that's in a totally different class than .357 mag. If we're talking about .357 mag, then 10mm is in the same class.
>>30471272
>Revolver ergos suck.
>>30471966
Not an argument.
>>30471478
I don't think you realize that you are responding to multiple people. Very few revolvers have a 1.5 lb pull because it simply won't set off primers. You might be able to do it with a 22 at best.
>>30471966
>The ergonomics of a pistol that will blow your thumb off if gripped incorrectly do not suck
>The ergonomics of reloading a cylinder do not suck
>>30471999
I think the argument is self evident that a grip that only has to contain the main spring offers a greater range of options for contours and dimensions than one that has to be designed around a box magazine.
If you don't like them, you can change them to practically anything you want.
>>30472006
>Very few revolvers have a 1.5 lb pull because it simply won't set off primers.
I don't think you understand what English sentences mean. When I said, >>30471272
>The trigger pull on this gun is not 1.5 pounds.
I made no statements about primer ignition. I simply said that the person making that claim was wrong, and most likely an idiot for thinking that his Smith revolver had a trigger that light.
>>30472132
No argument is self-evident. You do have to make your own claims using reason and evidence, kind of like you have done here:
>If you don't like them, you can change them to practically anything you want.
True, you can change the grips of most revolvers to a limited extent. There are almost no grip options, though, which add any sort of beavertail that extends over your hand, nor are there any options that change the angle at which your index finger reaches the trigger, which is obscene with revolvers.
It's true that semi-auto grips are designed around box magazines, but that's irrelevant because a relatively straight tube like a semi-auto pistol's grip is actually a very ergonomic shape to fit into a human's hand. Think about why that might be true for humans, physiologically, and from an evolutionary perspective, next time you see a monkey swinging from tree to tree at a zoo or in a nature documentary.
>>30472223
A beavertail isn't important for a revolver because there is no slide or hammer bite to protect yourself from.
>nor are there any options that change the angle at which your index finger reaches the trigger
Which is the case for most handguns.
>but that's irrelevant because a relatively straight tube like a semi-auto pistol's grip is actually a very ergonomic shape to fit into a human's hand
In a general sense, yes, but volumes have been written on how X or Y handgun fits, what handgun is good for someone with large hands or someone with small hands etc.
A revolver just gives a much greater ability to tailor the grip to the users preference, especially once you move above cartridges in the area of 9mm.
I would load 5 rounds, 2 empty, and one final round

>>30472402
>A beavertail isn't important
When I say beavertail, I don't mean the extended things you'll see on a custom 1911, but just ANY extension to come out over your hand. I say it's important because it helps you get a good grip on the gun that can't slip as the gun recoils, something that does happen with the completely shoulderless grip of a revolver.
>Which is the case for most handguns.
Except most handguns don't have as egregious of a problem in this regard.
>but volumes have been written on how X or Y handgun fits, what handgun is good for someone with large hands or someone with small hands etc.
You know what they say about opinions. They're like assholes. Everybody's got one.
>A revolver just gives a much greater ability to tailor the grip to the users preference, especially once you move above cartridges in the area of 9mm.
Support this assertion with reason and evidence. I can shoot a Desert Eagle all day long and I'll never lose my grip on the gun from slipping up off of it, nor will my hand ever get sore. With a revolver, both of those things start happening immediately, especially with big bore calibers.
