S&W 627pc

[Alaskapopo]

Looking to buy one, 8 shot, 2.6in bbl.

Anyone own one or have any opinions? Finding them for about $950 currently.

I like the gun just not that short of a barrel on a Nframe. Does not make sense to me as the frame and cylinder are the hardest parts to conceal on that gun.

I've got one of the 627, 8 shot, five inchers, have owned it for two years. The ONLY lock S&W I own.

The current N fames Smiths are probably THE strongest produced so far. They really seem to hold up very well to hot loads. and the accuracy is outstanding!



Mine after FIVE hundred rds of .357 mags one afternoon, used by four different shooters.

My only suggestion...get the 4" or 5" barrel.

I agree completely.

I own several variations of the 27, but my 4-1/8" 627 Pro Series has to be my favorite. I love that magnum! They all shoot great and are incredibly versatile. In fact, I think they are the high water mark for the general purpose .357 magnum revolver.
