Trench Warfare Drill: S&W TRR8 .357 Mag First Runs

The impressive Smith and Wesson TRR8 makes first runs in the "Trench Warfare Drill" with "PFIDude." A large Scandium, N-frame revolver, the TRR8 is ideally suited to this course. It has outstanding sights, a smooth and light double action trigger pull, excellent grips, carries an impressive eight rounds of .357 Magnum, and it loads fast with moon clips. With some competition revolver shooting under his belt (and apparently ON his belt too), PFI cranks out a speed run of 142 secs and only 6 misses in his first TW run with the TRR8 (but then again with 8 rds vs my 7 he had one less reload to do...maybe I shouldn't award that speed bonus...hmmm!). Speed remains high but accuracy drops a bit in subsequent runs due to fatigue. Great shootin' PFI. This is the revised Nutnfancy Trench Warfare course with side target ranging out to 35 yard, shooting small torso plates from Actiontarget.com. PFI experienced some no-fire loads that honestly I forgot to follow up on in the busy-ness of the runs that day (we did 12). PFIDude is using "North Mountain" moonclip holders which are outstanding (see www.firearmspro.com) and the CR Speed Race competition holster. As usual PFI pushes the boundaries on my limitation against competition gear in the Trench but I guess I'll give him a waiver again (insert wink here). Great runs by PFI, fun times! Nutnfancy impression of the TRR8: outstanding and highly recommended for any role that can take a large, full sized .357 wheelgun. /////////////////////////// Music: MSquare

When do you think a review of the S&W TRR8 revolver will be out? I am really looking forward to that! Thanks for great reviews and information.

PFI definitely has revolver accuracy skillz. You guys just need to work on the wheelgun handling skills. (I know I'm not telling you anything novel.)

Transfer revolver to weak hand, then use weak hand thumb to punch ejector rod and dump empties, with muzzle pointing UP toward heaven. Then point muzzle down and reload with the strong hand (moonclips rock). Transfer gun back to strong hand and shut the cylinder w/ weak hand. Resume sticking it to 'em! Way faster.

Rock on TNP.

[frankgon4]

Trying to decide between S&W TRR8 and the S&W 627. They are both 8 shot .357 revolvers. Any information would be appreciated.

PFI's a hilarious dude!!



[buckwheat40]

is the TRR8 better than the thunder ranch 325?

[Kylef7735]

@bucketfullaballz Shoot till they dead, and not a shot less, haha

[bucketfullaballz]

@Kylef7735 Point taken...

[Kylef7735]

@frankgon4 I know what you mean

[frankgon4]

@Kylef7735 And at 2012 Shot Show, I came across the S&W model 627 8 shot .357 magnum. sigh... I want them all.

[Kylef7735]

@bucketfullaballz I dont like that statement of "Most times, 1 good shot is all youll ever need in a one on one"

That is not a good thought to put in anyones head, and it could get you or someone else killed.
