Yesterday while visiting Cabela's I had the opportunity to check out a 357 magnum Smith and Wesson Performance Center 627 revolver. Very nice revolver however with the shorter grip the knuckle of my middle finger rested firmly against the back of the trigger guard. And I thought to myself, "this would hurt." Anybody know if the 44 magnum version of this gun has any more clearance for larger sized hands/knuckles pressing against the trigger guard? Sounds like painful to shoot if I went that way. I certainly like the idea and aesthetics of these revolvers but might not be practical…
Thanks for any insight.

They are all on the same frame...
You may however be able to find grips with less girth that will let your knuckle get past the triggerguard...

Rather, the front of the grip arcs gracefully into the bow. This feature holds the middle finger safe from the trigger guard on recoil. This detail was understood in early S&W target stocks but ignored later on. For an aftermarket illustration, looks at a Pachmayr Gripper. David Bradshaw |

Thank you.
I really like the idea of an 8 shot, short barrel .357. The Smith seems more refined than the Ruger version although the Ruger has larger factory grips. I really, really like the 44 mag version of the same Smith iteration. Obviously the gun is sold with grips conducive of concealment. Not very practical however for larger hands.
I'll see what grip options there may exist.
