I need help with a new pistol purchase

I voted for the G29sf.

Of all the choices it's the most versatile. It makes a good woods gun but can also be used for CC when you're in town.
It also has the best weight to firepower ratio. It may not be as light as the LCR, but you've got 11 rounds of 10mm vs. 5 rounds of .38/.357. You can also carry a 15 round G20 mag as a spare. I also think the G29 is a little easier to shoot with full power 10mm loads vs. the LCR with .357s.

My G29 is pretty much my daily CC gun and I have a G20 for the woods.

How bout a S&W 627, 8 shot 357. Not On your list but..

Or an LCR 357

I have a LCP in .38 SPL +P and can say get it. Not a target gun and could be a hand full in .357. While the .327 is small don't count it out until you shoot it. It will wake you hand up in a 2 in., small handgun. I'v got a GP-100 in .327 and it is a handfull. All of the revolver's you list can use another round. The .327 can use a .32 Mag, the .357 can use a .38 and the .44 Mag can use a .44 SPL so your not locked into one size. The 10MM is nice but ammo is sometimes hard to find.

If you don't plan on shooting it much, I would go with the Glock. It is versatile, rugged, and holds a few extra rds., which could come in handy. The Delta Elite was reintroduced, and Glock sales of their 10mm handguns are steady, so it is unlikely the 10mm rd. is going anywhere. 10mm is on the pricy side, but you can save some by ordering or buying in bulk, and you don't have to get the Saquatch stoppers. Regular man stoppers will be affective on pretty much anything in PA (except maybe a Saquatch).
