Smith and Wesson 327

[Northtogladwin]

My 327 8 shot .357 magnum 2 inch snub nose the barrel seems to not have defined rifling like every other gun I have cleaned it again and the grooves and lands aren’t very deep. Wondering if anyone else has a revolver barrel like this. Less than 500 rounds through it

I have a 3” Model 60 that has very light rifling like you describe ... no distinct edges to the lands/grooves, just kind of a shiny/swirly effect when you look down the barrel. Shoots fine though. Definitely different from every other handgun I’ve owned.
