$1100 for one more shot...... nah.
This gun should have at least a 2.5-inch barrel, if not 3 inches. The current 2-inch barrel is just too disportionate on an N frame. I'd also like to see it chambered in 327 MAG, which ought to give around a 10+ round capacity. Now,that would be a gun to be reckoned with under any circumstances.
You must be thinking of the 327
Wasn't it Jason Robards who said that in The St Valentines Day Massacre?Or as Michael Corleoni would say "just when I got out, you PULL me back in
If its an 8-shot 5" PC for $900 plus ammo it must have the lock. That's still a decent price.I am starting to fall out of love w/ the 627 based on some of the reviews submitted in this thread, especially folks saying the trigger is not great and that folks have had to get them re-worked.
Plus, the more I think about my 386 6" w/ 7 round capacity, the why? question becomes very real.
But, at $900 w/ 100 rounds in near-new condition, financially speaking, how much of a steal is that?
Godfather III, but maybe they recycled it
As for guns, New Idea:
the same reputable neighbor who has the like new 2014 627 8 shot 5" also has a 329 PD Scandium/Titanium 44 w/ 4" brl for about same $.
I am essentially lookin for a solid great shooting revolver for occassional open carry and to satisfy my lust for sweet S&W steel and serve as trail gun and must be a reasonably capable "just for the hell of it" deer and/or hog hunter, with a barrel shorter than 6".
Thus, the 44 Mag enters the picture along w/ the 627.
Please note: I already have a 454/45 SRH 7.5" and a
S&W 386 357scandium XL Hunter 6"brl for hunting, and the Scandium 386 makes a nice light weight trail gun carry. Somehow, my gun lust still ain't satisfied
I am also considering the 44 S&W 629 V-Comp 4" and the 629 Stealth Hunter 7.5" but don't know where to find them or if i can afford them.
What does the compensator do on the V-Comp? Which of all of the above would be a better Hunting pistol (aside from the obvious Stealth Hunter?)
Thanks! I realize this must seem crazy to many of you.
