Smith & Wesson Introduces M327 WR Revolver
News Briefs - July/August 2024
Smith & Wesson is releasing a new Jerry Miculek signature revolver, the Performance Center Model 327 WR. Designed in partnership with professional shooter and S&W brand ambassador, Jerry Miculek, the Model 327 WR boasts features that embody speed and accuracy. This lightweight 9mm handgun is built on a scandium N-Frame and includes a titanium cylinder that allows the user to quickly and precisely transition between targets. Included with the brass bead front and adjustable rear sight package is a Vortex COMPDOT and C.O.R.E. optic-plate system for revolvers that accommodate a wide range of optics to enhance the shooter’s experience. The revolver also features a JM signature laminated wood grip that provides optimal ergonomics for any necessary adjustments needed between holster draw and target acquisition.
At the Smith & Wesson headquarters grand opening weekend in October 2023 Miculek set two NRA world records with his Model 327 WR prototype, making history once again and further positioning himself as one of the greatest shooters ever. The records included the fastest time to hit six steel plates at seven yards from the draw with a 9mm handgun in 2.01 seconds, and the same with a revolver in 1.88 seconds.
“Crafted from the blueprint of shooting excellence, the new Model 327 WR is more than just a high-performance firearm—it’s a legacy. With modern upgrades to an already trusted platform,
Jerry’s new signature revolver is a tribute to the mastery of precision and the art of sports shooting perfected by Jerry himself,” said product manager Corey Beaudreau.
The Performance Center Model 327 WR includes an eight-round capacity, a five-inch ported stainless-steel barrel, and a smooth double-action trigger. This model will be available as a limited release of only 1,880 units, to reflect Miculek’s recent record time of 1.88 seconds. The revolver ships with all of its included accessories in a custom Pelican hard case. (smith-wesson.com)
