Smith & Wesson R8: Above And Beyond The Iconic Model 19
As far as competition revolvers are concerned, the Smith & Wesson R8 is everything the legendary Model 19 was ... and more.

My last S&W was the newly reintroduce model 66, brought it home, took it to the range, couldn’t shoot double action cause it went out of time after 5 rounds.....I know what you mean.This is what I have experienced.
Somehow I didn't think it was funny.
Ok, my bad, I found out if you just double tap the like button it will show just a like, I must have hit the laughing icon, didn’t noticed that I did, sorry, will correct it.Imo I would buy the R8 just for the more round count and the larger frame especially if you feed it a steady diet of .357's.
I like S&W revolvers, but I don't know if I would ever buy a new one, their QC department passes their job to the consumer.
Many new firearms have scratches, tool marks, dinged up at the muzzle and canted barrels.
According to a lot of forums firearms have been sent back and CS says it's normal tolerance.
Do a little more due diligence if you buy one.
Like I said this is my opinion others may have good luck.
