From talking to my FFL's and searching around online, it seems you can't really keep any of them in stock. S&W has the 327 PC, 627 PC, and had the old 327 Night Guard. The only place you can ever find any of them is GunBroker and they tend to sell well above MSRP. That's kinda understandable with the Night Guard. It's not easy to come by now. The 627 PC snub is no longer on their website. It's not in the Archives section either though so I don't know what's going on with it.
The Ruger 5051 rarely shows up on GunBroker so I don't know what people are paying for them. I'd imagine the final price is typically above the already high MSRP though.
Also, if you ever find a 627 3in V Comp...it's gonna be insanely expensive. That's obviously to be expected with any V Comp though so I can't really count it.
I don't get why these are so hard to come by in general though. They're all highly sought after and universally loved by those who own them. Why not produce more? Why doesn't Colt and Taurus jump on the wagon? Especially Colt. I need an 8 shot 357 Pony snub. I also need 30 Super Carry to blow up so the popularity can carry over to 327 magnum. Just imagine a 327 PC in...327 magnum. 9 shots at least.
Quick edit. The 327 PC is smaller than a Glock 19 and weighs the same as a G2c. They're not as huge as everyone makes them out to be. They're probably lighter than steel framed J frames. Even at that weight, the N frame soaks up that 357 like a champ. I know my TRR8 feels super light with that same Scandium frame and it has a 5.5in bbl.
