For the last few years ive been carrying a s&w 627 pc. .357 mag with a 5" barrel and an 8 round cylinder. Just seems like the all around ideal gun to me.

Stainless revolvers are heavy. Titanium framed revolvers are very light.
I never been a revolver guy but the K6 has me thinking about one.
Amen BenAnd practice. A lot. Send a bunch of rounds down range and know that thing like it's your John Thomas.
Thanks again everyone. I finally had some time to read all your posts in detail.
It looks like Smith & Wesson is the most popular brand by a long shot, with models 329, 629, 69, and 29 getting most attention. More recommended .44 mag than any other, with .41 mag next in line. It appears 4 inches is a common barrel length.
I hadn't heard of guns with titanium or scandium frames before, so that's good to know about. Rubber grips make a lot of sense too, as does a chest holster.
If I get to buy one, my top choice would likely be a S&W 329PD in .44mag with rubber grips. With MSRP at $1,159 before modifications, I'd probably have to find a used one or a really good sale price for that model.
I found mine used. There a great deals to be had if you are patient. I paid about 50% of MSRP....
I have heard of them selling pretty cheap as many folks buy them liking the idea of a super light but super powerful revolver, then they shoot it...and feel the pain. It's not a plinking gun with full magnum loads as that manly gun all of a sudden makes grown men meek. Good news for you if you can pick one up cheap, but that's also solid without issues.
