mikey357 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) I recently picked up a "Slightly Used" Model 327 "Tactical Response Revolver"...an INTERESTING "Beast", to say the least! I have made a few OBSERVATIONS, and come to a few CONCLUSIONS, as well...The gun came to me with an "Apex Tactical" Level II "Action Job", and Randy's "Skeletonized" Apex Hammer...QUITE NICE! It "Runs" 100% for me with Federal "American Eagle" ammo with the DA set at 6 lbs., even...I THINK I can "Shave" another 1/4 to 1/2 lb. off that, when I have a chance to "Play With" it a lil' more...most of the two weeks I had the gun before the "Steel Match" two weeks ago was dedicated to getting it "Set Up" to run 100% with my "Match" ammo, changing out the grips, sights and getting it sighted in...lotsa' FUN to "Wring Out" a new one! In my "Playing Around" with it in the backyard--I am fortunate to have enough space for a "Plate Rack" and a coupla' half-scale "Poppers" back there--I THOUGHT that MAYBE I had made a MISTAKE...that, MAYBE, the 327 was too LIGHT for "Steel"...well, if so, it sure didn't seem that way on Saturday, during our Match! I shot the second-best "Revo" score I ever have, and other than sighting in the 327, hadn't had any "Revo" practice in about six or seven weeks! I guess going from the eight-pound DA of my 686 "Pluses" to the six-pound DA on the 327 MIGHT account for SOME of my "Good Luck"--ya' think?!?! The gun was "Different" enough that four of my squadmates shot up all of my "Extra" ammo--about a box-and-a-half--after we were done, and before "Tearing Down" the Steel to put it back in the barn. One of my YOUNGER Squadmates--he's 16, maybe 17--decided he wants a 327 for Christmas--just hasta' decide between the "TRR" and the "M&P"...oh, yeah...AND talk DAD into paying for it! Dad was kinda' SKEPTICAL, until HE shot it...left a SMILE on HIS face, too... Seems like that gun--and Randy's AMAZING work--does that to a LOT of people...I know I'M SMILING about it right now... Anyway, I have decided that I'll be sending Randy a coupla' guns for more "Work"...SOONER rather than LATER, IF I can talk the Missus into it... I have also concluded that there IS a difference in the "Moonclips" that are available for the 627/327...MUCHO difference, in fact...the "Run-of-the-mill" 'clips that I purchased from Brownell's worked semi-okay with Remington brass--some were EASY to load/unload, some KINDA' hard...but they didn't want to work AT ALL with Federal brass--go figure! The TK Custom "Match" 'clips, OTOH, worked FINE with either the Rem. OR Federal brass...again, go figure! I have NOT had the chance to try any of Hearthco's "Premium" 'clips YET, but intend to, WHEN the BUDGET will STAND it! FWIW... ....mikey357 Edited March 16, 2008 by mikey357 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
