While I certainly appreciate a nice semi, I love a good revolver. I have a few but am mulling over adding a S&W 627 to the mix. Anyone have one or an opinion at least?

Re: Revolver fans? S&W content
I have a regular model 27 in addition to my 686. The 27 built on the big N frame is a tank and I doubt you will ever wear it out and can fire some outrageous loads. Damn nice revolvers and if you can find one at a decent price get it!

Yeah, they are a little steep, but considering what a good rifle, guitar, or motorcycle costs I wouldn't cry too much.

Look for a model 28 (N frame highway patrolman) if you want an older N frame S&W. More of them and should be less expensive than the 27's. When I get tempted to sell the 27 I take it out and run some rounds through it. I cant sell it.....

maybe someday. Right now, the only revolvers I am into are the pocket J-frames. I love these little guys.

About a year ago I bought a SW 340SC... my god. It weights 14.4 ounces (less than a pound) loaded with hornady 158g XTP rounds. Yes it hurts to shoot it, but I'm sure if my adrenaline is rushing, I won't notice it.
The 340 was my first revolver. I can say that I was pleased with the pistola.

Re: Revolver fans? S&W content
which 627?? the unfluted 6 shot or the 8 shot model wit a 5.5 or 7.5 inch barrel, eityher way they all are super strong. Built on the "N" frame they can digest thousands of full power 357 magnum. The 8 rds models can be used with moonclips making unloading and reloading it a breeze.
Basically, you can't go wrong with any SW model 627.
hope this helps.

Re: Revolver fans? S&W content
I love S&W Revolvers, I have 9 of them, 2 in 22lr, 3 in 38, 2 in 357, and two in 44mag..
I have a 27 3 1/2 inch and sold it.. For the N frame I like a 44 mag..The 8 shot 357 certainly would justify the additional frame size..Be sure and check the cylinder lenght, I do believe I read somewhere that only the rugers could handle the additional length of the 180s. I maybe off base but it's worth checking into in case you need if for Back up to Hog Hunting..
I cannot get over the 30 cal crack of the 357 and would rather tote the 44..
Good luck.
I believe the prelock S&W 's are the ones to have. Some Collectors will shun the ILS and may jepordise your resale.. Just a thought.. I will only look for pre-lock guns.

Re: Revolver fans? S&W content
nothing wrong with 4 inch either, I was more about shooting steel matches and USPSA. with the 4 you can shoot IDPA, and everything else
good choice

Re: Revolver fans? S&W content
Let me preface this with the tidbit that I used to shoot several thousand rounds a year through my 6" Ruger GP100 in several different competitions. I did very, very well with it. It still have it and it is my only full-size 357 Magnum DA. I tend to compare other 357s to it, because it is superbly accurate, unarguably durable, well-balanced, brute strong, and fits a wide variety of hands.
I got to shoot one of the 8-shot 627s a couple years ago. I sent over 300 rounds downrange, from 148 grain wadcutter 38 Specials to some fire-breathing 158 grain Magnums. Here's my personal take:
It is a beefy revolver and I felt it was about the right weight for a 357 used in competition. It was a bit butt-heavy compared to my GP, but not enough to negatively impact its ability to hang on target. Comfort with full-house loads wasn't bad.
It grouped well enough in single action mode, but the grip size and trigger reach made it awkward for me to shoot double action as quickly and accurately as I do my Ruger GP100 (I have short fingers, so this may not be an issue for you).
Sights were typical S&W...fine out-of-the-box and having dozens of good upgrades available.
The DA trigger pull was a little stiff compared to what I'm used to, but there are plenty of spring kits available and any 'smith worth his salt can do a trigger job on an N frame lickety-split. Single action pull was crisp and the weight was acceptable.
I <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">loved</span></span> the full moon clips. The speed with which I could reload that wheelgun made me feel like a shooting god. I'm not sure if they chamfer the chambers from the factory or not, but the revolver I shot had this treatment, and with eight tapered holes to align the reload, the cylinder was like a black hole for cartridges.
All-in-all the 627 impressed me with some of its features. I think most shooters would be very happy with this revolver unless they have small hands or short fingers.

Re: Revolver fans? S&W content
As a side note I also have a S&W 625/ .45 acp and its my favorite S&W revolver. Full moon clips, big bore, VERY accurate and no magnum muzzle blast or recoil. Between the three revolvers (27,686,625) the 625 is the most fun to shoot. Also when taken out for a day of shooting when everyone brings something to share it get the most use from other shooters as well.
Pick any one and you will like it a lot.

Re: Revolver fans? S&W content
Nice looking Model 66. I bought a Model 66-2 just like the one above from a member here a few years back. It's been one of my favorite revolvers to shoot.
S&W Hand-eject 5" bbl (early 1920's) in .32-20 cal.
S&W Model 36 Chief's Special snubbie (1957-58 flat-latch, no dash)
S&W Model 49-2 Bodyguard snubbie (1970's)
S&W 340PD .357 Mag snubbie (with lock)
S&W Model 19 4" bbl (1957 no-dash)
S&W Model 66-2 2.5" bbl (1981 round butt)
Colt Trooper MkIII 6" bbl (1969)
Except for the 66 and the 340PD, the rest were passed down to me from relatives. I might pick up an old Model 10 4" bull bbl to make an old school pin gun project.

The Python might be the nicest finished (except a 60's S&W bluing) but it was my worst shooting revolver. The cylinder timing on mine was always off and would spit lead. Also the cylinder release was always ass backwards to me. I sold the Python and never regretted it.

Re: Revolver fans? S&W content
I have always been intrigued with the 8 shot 627. I have a 4” 66 and a 5” 625 that has a custom shop action job and the cylinders chamfered. I really like both, but the 625 is my favorite. The prices of Smith’s revolvers have gone thru the roof. I got my 625 in 1991 for $405. Wholesale on it now is around $715.

Some revolver porn-
The 27 was moly coated with solid gold bead front sight (SDM Fab.) with wood combat grips.
625 barrel was shortned, crowned and a fiber optic interchangeable sight added. Machine checkered cylinder release and Miculek grips.
686 is your basic 686 with Hogue grips.

Re: Revolver fans? S&W content
The only two S&W's currently in the stable:
top is my Grandfathers 1917 .45 ACP, bottom is my 25. It is basically a 25-7 (.45 Colt) but came matte black with an unfluted cylinder and marked as (.45 cal. of 1989). I still remember the tag line in G&A mag, "If Darth Vader carried a revolver... This would be it."
I've actually been trying to track down some production numbers on the .45 Colt. IIRC they made somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 with these markings. They made them through 1990 (w/o the '89 date) and then discontinued the finish/caliber/cylinder combo. It shoots great but .45 Colt can get pricey to feed and I don't shoot it enough to justify loading for it.

That may be true but the double action trigger pull is shorter than the colt,S&W cylinder release is more natural (push Vs pull) and the timing on S&W (hand and pawl) are more robust than the colt's. I hated the grip on the colt also because I have large hands.
The colt is a great revolver but I prefer the S&W over it.

Hmmm.... .357mag goodness let's you know what's important in life. This is an unfired model 19-3 I happened to find on consignment in a Turner's store original box, wrapping and cleaning items. Haven't had the guts to fire it yet and so I've been pounding the hell out of my .45 Sig 1911 instead (awesome semi).

Re: Revolver fans? S&W content
The 627s have shorter cylinders than 686s. If you think you'll ever want to experiment with heavyweight bullets, or take up bullet casting, do yourself a favor & go with the 686. I don't believe a 27 would be more durable than a 686 anyway. The larger frame is just that. Larger, but not necessarily more durable.

Re: Revolver fans? S&W content
I like my S&W 686+ snub nose. I have a hip grip on in which is basically a hook to catch on your pants so you can wear it concealed. I also like how there's seven shots instead of six. The hip grip is surprisingly comfortable... if you're wearing underwear. The hip grip is not a great handgrip though, so I taped it to get some better grip.

The hip grip is surprisingly comfortable... if you're wearing underwear. The hip grip is not a great handgrip though, so I taped it to get some better grip.

It does the job.

EventHorizon said:Hmmm.... .357mag goodness let's you know what's important in life. This is an unfired model 19-3 I happened to find on consignment in a Turner's store original box, wrapping and cleaning items. Haven't had the guts to fire it yet and so I've been pounding the hell out of my .45 Sig 1911 instead (awesome semi).
NICE....
I think my model 19 (4") would be my all time favorite.

I recently sold a 5 screw K22 which was a sweet revolver. I had planned on finding a 617 but something else popped up in the mean time.
A quality .22 pistol is a "must have". Right now that being filled by a silenced Buckmark and a Ruger slab side target.
