The Smith & Wesson Model 327 is a scandium alloy framed revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. In 2003 the Smith & Wesson Performace Center produced a variant of the Smith & Wesson Model 627 the featured a scandium alloy frame and titanium cylinder and barrel shroud which they marketed as the Model 327SC (due to the fact that all Model 327s feature a scandium frame this is now often referred to as the 327 Carry). In 2006 the Performace Centre introduced the M&P R8 and TRR8 (which are marketed towards police and competition use respectively), which are 5" barrelled variants with steel cylinders and barrel shrouds and fitted with rails. In 2008 Smith & Wesson introduced standard catalogue 327 variants which were the 327PD (4" barrel, titanium cylinder, steel barrel shroud) and the 327 Night Guard (2.5" barrel, steel cylinder, steel barrel shroud), however both of these have since been discontinued.
