How much is a S&W M&P R8 going for these days? I really like the idea of an 8 shot revolver in this caliber and being able to use moon clips. Are there any other revolvers that have the same capacity and use moon clips as well?
Taurus 608 is an 8 shot .357....Love mine, multiple thousands of rounds through it, never a single problem...
Did you know about the snub nose 2" M327? It is also made with Scandium Alloy Frame and uses a Titanium Alloy Cylinder so it weighs only 21oz!!! That is amazing, a N frame revolver that holds 8 rounds of .357 Magnum and weighs only 21oz, OUCH!
+1 I have a 627PC ...the moon clips are flimsy and bend if the wind blows. I tried it once and trashed them soon there after..357 moon-clips don't work nearly as well as .45 ACP moon-clips however.

I had two of them a while back. One was perfect from day one until I sold it, the other was not functioning properly on day one (new gun), Taurus took care of it in less than a week and it was perfect until I sold it. Nice enough triggers out of the box, accurate too. I sold them because I didn't really need 8-shot heavy guns for the range.Wow, those smiths are pretty expensive after doing some looking. Looks like I may be pushing this purchase off and just trying to get the SR45.
Are the 8 shot taurus .357's reliable? There seems to be quite a few lemons in the reviews on websites.

Tougher assault weapons ban: The legislation outlines a stricter definition of assault weapons, and implements an immediate ban of defined assault weapons. Under the stricter definitions, semi-automatic pistols and rifles with detachable magazines and one military style feature will be considered assault weapons. Semi-automatic shotguns with one military style feature will also be considered assault weapons. Assault weapons possessed before the effective date must be registered within a year recertified every five years. Owners of grandfathered assault weapons may only sell out of state or through an in state federal firearms licensee. Under the legislation, the Bushmaster used in the Newtown, Connecticut shooting would be illegal.
