This Model 327 is a Performance Center N-frame built for strength with minimal weight. The scandium-alloy frame and titanium cylinder deliver an 8-round .357 Magnum capacity while keeping the revolver light and balanced. The cylinder features deep scalloped flutes, and the frame is a round-butt configuration.
The two-piece barrel combines a steel liner with a titanium shroud for durability and reduced mass. A sculpted, side-ported muzzle completes the setup, and the overall barrel length is 2.0 inches. The revolver wears a matte black finish on the frame and a matte light-gray finish on the titanium cylinder.
Action and controls include a DA/SA system with an exposed hammer, a Performance Center tuned action, and an internal lock. Sights are straightforward and durable: a red-ramp front sight paired with a fixed rear notch. The factory wood finger-groove grips feature S&W medallions.
This revolver is designed for use with moon clips, enhancing loading and extraction with its 8-shot cylinder. It bears the Performance Center rollmark and is manufactured in the United States. The factory mfg part number is 170245A.
