There is something about autumn that makes me bring out the revolvers. Maybe it's how the gas leak between the chamber and the barrel warms your hands in the cold...

I couldn't agree more.. Just don't go buying the SW 340sc thinking you can shoot full power .357mag loads all day long. Good god it'll kill your palm.

It's a S&W Performance Center 327, and they're great, so you should be excited about getting one.

I don't know if it's technically one of the R8's? I know it uses the same frame as the R8, and it's an 8 shot.

The full power magnum loads in a 340 will really bite you. I carry the S&W 340 PD (stainless cylinder) and have fired a couple of 158 grain .357 loads just to see what recoil was like. Not super bad, but you definitely knew when it fired. Now I just stick with +P loads. They are a whole lot more pleasant to shoot.

This little guy is my first .357, and I've got to say that the recoil isn't to bad. I don't have the exact speck on the hand loads we where shooting (I can check the box next time I'm home), but the primers where pretty flat... The gun came with a rubber houge grip that I was thinking of using, fearing that the wood grip would be a little rough, but it wasn't. The wood grip rotates quite a bit when you shoot and it's not rough at all, I could comfortably shoot this thing all day, even with hot loads. Now, hot .454 casual loads through a Colt style single action will beat you up, though I've found shooting them one handed makes it a lot more tolerable...

I should also note that the eight round capacity makes it a formidable opponent for any 1911 on the dueling steels.
