Just put one on layaway at my local dealer. What a great gun feels good anyway smooth trigger cant wait to shoot it. Does anyone have one and how do they like it. I get to pick it up next Saturday.:D

Don't tell me nobody has one of these? I hope I made the right decision. :(

Try searching for 627; you'll get plenty of opinion and discussion on which to base any specific questions you have.

Looks like a very fun gun to me--in pictures anyway, I've never seen one up close & personal.

Thanks ChristopherG, I will do that.

Is this the currently-catalogued 5" gun with the funny-looking flat-sided barrel and the pretty Ahrend's grips or an older V-Comp or what?

I have the 2 5/8" (3") V-comp. Very nice gun, although it does have some minor niggling faults that are only apparent when you compare it to a gun like my '64-vintage 27-2. (The sideplate could be better fitted; the trigger, while good for a current S&W, is nothing to slobber over; the barrel's torqued a degree or two too far clockwise; stuff like that...)

Tamara it is the newer 5" with the nice looking barrel :D

here is a picture incase anyone wants see what it looks like

I got the one with the shorter barrel. Only 3", but it has a removable compensator that makes it look longer.

I've got one. It has an OK trigger and locks up solid. It is a good gun. I still like the older S&W triggers, but this one is a keeper. Don't sweat it..just get it and enjoy. I also picked up a mooner, demooner and moonclip flattener tool. Started using Starline brass and it all works great. The moonclips are brass specific. You can't use any brass.

That angled barrel looks like something Harrington & Richardson would have had second thoughts about.

You mean this one , yeah the barrel takes a bit to get used to , but we all did the checkout down at the gunshop and this gun is almost too tight ! Locks up like a bankvault and timing is dead on with a super close range rod. The only fault i've found since I brought it home is the grips could be a touch better fitted at the butt seam. Case

Yup thats the one the grips on the one I am getting are alot lighter in color. I like those Rosewoods Look nice. I get to pick mine up on Saturday cant wait then off to the range to give it a try..:D

I have one with the 5" barrel. It is very easy to shoot really tight groups in DA mode. I was surprised given I don't often shoot revolvers in DA. For some reason I find it more difficult to shoot tight groups in SA mode. I need to take it out to the range more. The SA "problem" is likely my fault. I may need to grip it a little differently when shooting SA.

Wish that I would have gotten the 5" barrel. Like it better now than the 3".

[Dr.Who]

Don't like the looks of the 5 inch barrell. Have been looking for a 4 inch full lug version performance center or not. Almost got a 3 inch not to long ago. Still looking for the right one.....

[shooter.45]

I am picking it up tomorrow Saturday cant wait. Love the look of that gun I did see 3" one and not crazy about it. And have never seen a 4" one with full lug from the PC.

[MR.G]

Have never seen a 4" PC 627. Would be the perfect gun.
