I have no idea about the SWAT connection, but they do make eight shot .357 mag revolvers. They are, out of necessity, on the "N" frame.
S&W frame sizes run from "J", which are the little snubbies, through "K" which are .32 and .38 caliber, then "L" which is a recent introduction to mitigate the issues with the .357 mag in the "K" frame, then the "N" frame, which is for .357, .41, and .44 mags plus .45 Colt. I think their silly .460 and .500 are what they call the "X" frame, but they don't really count. They are just an exercise in stupidity, and not really "hand" guns at all.
