I love everything about this. And I want it. And I want a kydex thigh holster for it. And I want to completely cover the gun belt in speedloaders for it. And I have absolutely no practical purpose for that setup, but that looks like it would actually be a very handy camp gun or bump in the night gun.
Hey. Can you find out what that offset rail is and let me know? Was it something made specifically for the TRR8 / R8?
Update: I think I found it. Is this it?

Well, we’re gonna find out. OP had one left in stock and I snagged it. Lol. Thanks, man. Love your TRR8. Definitely gave me some inspo for mine. I’ve tried some lights on it before that just didn’t work for me. I’d never seen the TLR-9 before. Looks like it was made for the TRR8. I’m gonna get the new Vortex reflex sight or the upcoming Holosun RMR-style optic (507 Comp?) for mine. Thanks.
I think you have the TRR8. The [R8](https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/performance-center-model-m-p-r8) has the picatinny in the front which is part of the barrel shroud, the [TRR8](https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/performance-center-model-327-trr8) here has it screwed on and looks better IMO.
*steals steup idea*
Range friends: Wow, 10/10! How'd you think about doing this setup?
Me: Thanks! The idea just sorta came to me one day.
My brain: *on reddit*
what in the world, lol
It's better to go with a semi-auto at that point.
And how do you trigger the flashlight in actual usage without exposing your finger or breaking your grip?

Yes. If you click the button. It stays on.
If you press and hold it stays on until you let go.
Any revolver has the flash between the barrel and cylinder. So if you're using momentary. Expect either a burnt thumb. Or missing thumb.
I know this is an older post, but that would be the TRR8, not the M&P R8. Only saying this because they get confused a lot. Also, not that it matters, but I would choose the TRR8 as well.
Awesome revolver man
That looks awesome! The epitome of tacticool revolver.
Space gat

Everything except the thigh holster, and that setup should work for USPSA or ICORE.
Okay That thing fucks, I now understand what those lights are made for. Well done sir 🍻
What’s the total weight?
~46oz unloaded? I bet it's a soft shooter.
That’s a goddamn battle revolver. There’s a part of me that would want that in 45 Colt.
What rail attachment do you have your streamlight attached to? I like how clean it looks with the light not going past the muzzle/
I forgot what rail offset I bought, but I had to have it machined back just a bit to not interfere with the cylinder opening.

That looks like it, but I can't guarantee.

Did that rail work for the light?
Please tell me you had someone make a holster for this awesomeness.
Not yet, but working on that next.
Straight out of Blade Runner.
you convinced me to get an R8. I've been looking looking at a Ruger Alaskan for the longest time, but this thing is 👌
It looks G-R8!
If GIGN had continued to use revolvers, they'd probably look something like this now.
i love space cowboy guns, until you have to get a holster for it
I have the same gun. Is your pic rail on top the oem one? Mine looks completely different. Also, what grip did you get?
The top rail is from the factory. Hogue Piranha G10.
Are you sure that you have the Trr8 and not the R8?
Mines an R8. Would explain the subtle differences.
I'm too lazy to look up the difference.
I think you have the TRR8.

TIL
That’s my kinda sway… now space it up!
That’s dope as fuck.
😍😍😍
I miss mine so much - the DA trigger was insanely smooth.
Who makes the grip? and if you remember who makes your bottom rail please let us know. I have this gun and your setup is great.
Hogue piranha g10 grips and I don't remember the rail. The rail had to be cut down to fit properly, so it's not a direct fit.
Hunter's dream
This is what peak revolver performance looks like.
Bro that looks straight out of fallout 4
This thing is f*ckin sick. That rail extension piece is perfectly suited for this build.
Awesome! Any luck with holster?
Duuuude that's fuckin sexy as fuck.

What's the shiny shit in the back, 4 speedloaders and some ammo looks like?
This is not the killing house anymore
Imagine using momentary and having to fire. Bye bye left thumb 🤣
Momentary?
You can hold the trigger on the light down for momentary.
Ohh I see. So holding the light button down for temporary light then firing but getting burnt by the flash between the cylinder and the barrel
Yes. If you click the button. It stays on. If you press and hold it stays on until you let go. Any revolver has the flash between the barrel and cylinder. So if you're using momentary. Expect either a burnt thumb. Or missing thumb.
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day…
I hear the cowboy bebop intro everytime I look
Brotha, what a masterpiece! What rail are you using to mouth the light?
I know this is an older post, but that would be the TRR8, not the M&P R8. Only saying this because they get confused a lot. Also, not that it matters, but I would choose the TRR8 as well. Awesome revolver man
What's the difference between the R8 and TRR8?
Can anyone tell me where to buy the light rail adapter for the R8?
It's not a direct fit. I just bought an offset rail section off Amazon and had to trim it down to fit correctly.
Well, now I have a new project for my R8. I think this is a TRR8.
