Smith & Wesson, the iconic firearms manufacturer, has joined forces with the renowned competitive shooter Jerry Miculek to introduce the Performance Center Model 327 WR. This revolver has been instrumental in Miculek's latest world record-setting performance, marking a significant milestone in shooting sports.

The Model 327 WR is crafted with a lightweight scandium frame and a robust titanium cylinder, it facilitates rapid and precise aiming. The handgun is equipped with a classic sight arrangement, featuring a brass bead front sight and adjustable rear sights. However, its most notable feature is the revolutionary C.O.R.E. optic-plate system, specifically designed for revolvers.

This system allows shooters to attach a diverse array of red dot optics, greatly improving their aiming. Additionally, the revolver is adorned with Jerry Miculek's signature laminated wood grips, which are meticulously designed to enhance ergonomics and facilitate swift adjustments during the drawing and aiming process.

During the grand inauguration of the Smith & Wesson Headquarters in October 2023, Miculek showcased the prototype of the Model 327 WR. Utilizing this revolver, he shattered two World Records, further cementing his legacy as one of the all-time greats in the realm of competitive shooting.

“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 Corey Beaudreau, Product Manager.

The Performance Center's Model 327 WR boasts an 8-round capacity, a 5-inch ported stainless-steel barrel, and a silky-smooth double-action trigger. This special edition, limited to 1,880 pieces, celebrates Miculek's astonishing record-breaking feat of 1.88 seconds.

The Model 327 WR's scandium frame ensures it remains light and easy to handle, while the Jerry Miculek signature grips offer unparalleled control during swift target engagements. The C.O.R.E. system's compatibility with various red dot optics provides shooters with a substantial edge in both speed and accuracy. The package is complete with a custom case, ammunition, moon clips for effortless reloading, and a Vortex COMPDOT red dot sight.

The Vortex COMPDOT, a red dot sight tailor-made for competitive shooting, features an expansive sight window that augments peripheral vision and expedites subsequent shots. This makes it the perfect match for the Model 327 WR, which is designed with speed in mind.

Each revolver is encased in a bespoke Pelican hard case, ensuring the utmost protection and ease of transport for the weapon and its accompanying gear. We just wish that there is also an airsoft version as Miculek also has fans from the airsoft community.
