Thanks,

Well, hopefully you're talkin' .357/.38 wheelguns, right?

Smith and Wesson has been producing the 627 in .357 Magnum for a while, with blued, stainless and Performance center models all available at one time or another. The first models didn't even have that (dreaded) Lock on 'em. Check the S&W website out. I'm still looking to find a deal on one of the pre-lock models ...

AFAIK, Taurus at one time marketed (and may still) an 8-round .357. Again, the manufacturers' websites are always a pretty good source of info.

If you're talking .32 or .22, there are a number of 8 or 9 round models out there, H&R, S&W, Taurus ...

This is the Taurus model 608, 8 shot .357. It's a big old horse, but shoots pretty well. Factory ribbed and compensated. It reminds me some of a big S&W, but not as smooth or tight.
