If you’ve landed on this page, then you’re likely searching for a holster to fit the S&W 327 Performance Center revolver with a 2” barrel. Before discussing all the possible holster options for this N-frame revolver, let’s first do a quick overview of this Performance Center model.
Scroll down to see all the holster options we offer for this revolverIntroduced in 2008, the Model 327 Performance Center (which is typically shortened to PC) is a short-barreled N-frame wheelgun designed for defensive carry or as a lightweight woods gun.
Coming from the Performance Center, this model features the PC tuning integrated with S&W premium materials (such as their Scandium Alloy). The 327 PC is chambered in .357 Magnum and features an 8-round capacity. In addition, the cylinder is recessed to handle moon clips.
This model weighs 22.6 ounces unloaded, making it incredibly lightweight for an N-frame wheelgun.
Holsters for this revolver may be challenging to find as the cylinder width and unique barrel/ejector rod configuration are entirely different from a traditional S&W N frame model.
Since the 327 is lightweight and snubby, it can potentially be carried in an IWB holster. However, be aware that the cylinder on this model is wider than a traditional 6-shot N frame model, so that additional width will translate to increased thickness in an IWB holster configuration.
That being said, our most popular IWB holsters for this PC revolver are the MTR Custom Slimline Tuckable IWB and the MTR Adversary IWB. Another popular option is the MTR Dual Carry, which can be worn as an inside the waistband or an outside the waistband holster.

Here are some commonly asked questions that we’ve encountered involving holsters for the S&W PC 327:
Although the 327 is built on S&W’s N frame, it won’t fit into a holster made for a traditional N frame with a 2” barrel. The snubby barrel design, wider than average cylinder, and ejector rod housing mean that the 327 requires a gun holster built specifically for it.
Unfortunately, at this time, we don’t offer a chest rig for this specific S&W revolver.
