Taurus Tracker 627 Revolver - Seven Shot .357/.38
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- The Taurus Tracker series of revolvers are available in calibers from .17HMR to 44Mag. Let's take a look at the 627, a seven shot revolver chambered in .357Mag and will also handle .38 special and .38+P. The matt stainless steel barrel, cylinder and frame make cleanup easy and minimize the risk of corrosion. The 4" ported barrel helps minimize muzzle rise while .357s will provide ample protection against most threats.

Thanks for your post. I've had my Taurus Tracker 627 for about 5 years. It's identical to yours. It's a pleasure to shoot.
Thanks for watching! I agree, they're all pretty fun!
How much did you pay for it? Is it still holding up good?
How many rounds in 5 years of shooting the Taurus?Thanks

I've got the 627 4'" and I didn't realize when I bought it how much the top ports help with recoil. I found I was shooting low as a result of recoil anticipation when firing DA. It kicks about like a 9mm maybe a smidge more. I love this gun and its my daily open carry. Great video!
Porting definitely makes a difference! Thanks for watching!
Did you shoot 357 mag or 38 sp
Are we just going to pretend like this guy doesn't have the coolest range shelter in the world?
Lol! Thanks!
Love my 627! Very underrated revolvers.
The Tracker series are all nice revolvers. Thanks for watching!
If you're a Taurus fan, you should check out their Raging Hunter series. I have the .357mag version and love it because the forcing cone is massive, the cylinder walls are thick, and a little bit deeper as if it was specifically designed for experimental cartridge loads. It's basically a beefier Raging Bull.
The Raging Hunter revolvers are very good looking guns, there is one in my future! Thanks for watching!
Taurus in general has really made some huge improvements in the last decade. I used to laugh at them, and now own 2. My G2C 9mm and my fun to carry 605 defender with 3 inch barrel get much more holster time than my Glock and my M&P, mostly because I just found more comfortable holsters and carry positions for both of them, but also because I trust them 99% as much as the S&W and 90% as much as the Glock.
I agree. I'm a big fan of the 605 and the 942, both are very reliable revolvers. Thanks for watching!
I'm a Taurus fan always !! Revolvers and semi-autos are affordable for the working mans wallet !
I completely agree! Thanks for watching!
I got 5 Taurus revolvers too! Two 856s (2" and 3"), 82 (4"), same Tracker as yours, and a 66 (6"). ❤️ 'em all!
They are very well made, good looking and a lot of fun too. Thanks for watching!
Always enjoy your videos Richard. Thank you.
Glad you like them! I greatly appreciate you watching too!
Love my 627... And 942! Taurus makes a fine revolver, and I think those are two of their best.
My 942M with the 2" barrel is one of my favorites. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for an excellent review and especially for your CLEAN language! GOD bless.
I try not to say anything on here that I wouldn't say in front of a Nun. Thanks for watching!
Great Video! You’ve got the nicest shooting shack I’ve seen ! Looks like a living room . Maybe a bar with those swinging doors !
It's the "Shootin' Saloon"! (I like the Old West stuff) Thanks for watching!
Thanks for showing Richard. This another one I need to get it looks sweet.
I like the wheel guns, especially in .357. Thanks for watching Hillbilly!
I bought a 605 and really like it. I might have to pick one of these up.
The 605 is a great CCW if you like revolvers. Thanks for watching Jesse!
I have a Mod44 Taurus blued with wood grips that is over 25 years old and I have lots of fun with it still
I think they're great guns. Thanks for watching!
I've got a 66 with a 4 inch barrel. It also shoots a little low. But it feels great in my hand and the recoil is nowhere near excessive. Taurus makes some nice revolvers!
I agree, I'm a big fan of their revolvers! Thanks for watching!
Keep up the good work !
Thanks! I'll try my best!
@Small Caliber Arms Review I've only shot a Taurus revolver once. I rented a Raging Bull .454 about twenty years ago. I liked it.
The .454 is a round that will bring a smile to your face! Well, at least if you're the one shooting it anyway.
Coolest home gun range ever!
Thanks! I did a few videos of the building process, I plan on doing an updated one soon.
I have a Taurus model 66 and 44, both 6 1/2 barrel lengths. I swapped out the grip for hogues before the even the round fired round for both. I have model 513 aka Taurus Raging Judge Magnum (6 inch too) as well but that monster is in a league of its own.
I love the 513! A friend of mine loaned me his Raging Judge for a review last year. The 513 is the first time I had ever shot 454 Casull and I was hooked, I believe there is an even bigger revolver in my near future! Thanks for watching!
Well done. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Nice review! Have a ton of six-shot Smiths but for some reason that extra round (7) in my cheap Burgo .32 seems so special. Seven shot and eight shot revolvers are a huge deal for extra capacity, matched with the revolver's inherent reliability. Love my semi-autos but will only ever trust my life to a revolver.
Wheel guns are real guns! Thanks for watching!
I just bought one! I see the biggest difference between Taurus and Smigh and Wesson is the trigger pull. The Smith is smoother. But triggers smooth out with use.
The fully shrouded barrel is great. That should come standard on all revolvers. The porting is an excellent feature as well. .357 rounds do kick a bit....
Front hi visibility front site is sweet. It could save your life.
Cylinder lock up is definitely not Ruger GP 100 grade. But comparable to a Smith and Wesson. I would suggest shooting a ratio of 150 .38 to 50 .357. Or a steady diet of .38 +p.
Great gun for an avid hiker, hunter, or California or Massachusetts resident. Or defensive minded homeowner.
You forgot about the difference in price. I am quite the fan of Taurus revolvers. Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching!
Great revolver Taurus RT627 🔨🎯👏🏻
I agree. Thanks for watching!
Interestingly enough I've seen Trackers in 22 Hornet also. Another model that doesn't have the key lock is the 856 UL. I had one that I traded for a 605. I love Taurus revolvers and I plan on getting either this one or the Raging Hunter in 357 soon.
I have not seen one in .22 Hornet but I have seen it in .17HMR. I agree on the Taurus revolvers. I did a video on the Raging Hunter in .460 S&W, that thing's a beast! Thanks for watching!
Seldom is heard a discouraging word about the 357mag n a good Ole Taurus revolver and those that own know it's a solid buy . Great review on the tracker , I dig it.
That could be a catchy little tune! I agree with you! Thanks for watching!
My favorite wheel gun stays close is reliable and smooth to this day a model 65 in 357. It sports discontinued wood grips being made in the nineties also bit of mild pitting and heavy holster wear.
I like the 65, it was the last gun my father and I took out in the back yard and ran a shoebox full of .38 semi-wadcutters through. It was a good day. Thanks for watching!
I always thought it would be cool if they made a tracker in 5.7, I've got the 357 and it's awesome
That would be cool. They used to make one in .17HMR and I've always wanted one but haven't seen one in a store for years. Thanks for watching!
I just got one today I like the look of it my new carry gun 🔫
Oh yeah! I'm a big fan of revolvers! Thanks for watching!
IMO the Taurus Tracker series in both 357 and 44 are a very good value. 4 years ago, when you could buy them for $375.00 they were an outstanding deal. I bought 1 in 44mag for my wife (We have a lot of bears where we hunt) and I've been very impressed with it. My wife is happy with it and shoots it well. Its not as nice as my S&W 629-1 44 mag, but it was 1/3 the price, is very accurate, nicely finished and has a nice trigger.
The prices have definitely gone up. I think I paid a little less or maybe about the same price for my M44. I have a S&W 29 and you're right the Taurus is a lot cheaper. Thanks for watching!
I bought mine 3 months ago for $360 shipped from Kentucky Gun Company. Hate to hear they're going up in price.
@@jimmydelux I hate hearing it too! Sadly everything is going up.
@@jimmydelux Phenomenal deal. I think you'll enjoy it
True, especially now that Ruger has left the building as a decent value revolver.
Taurus: value, performance, warranty.
Fun too!
Great video
Thanks!
Nice revolver Richard and a very good review. I have had good experience with Taurus autos so far and I have a number of other revolvers but no Taurus yet. I have been looking high and low for one of the new .327 magnum revolvers that they announced a SHOT show but have had no luck. I'll keep on looking I guess. Perhaps we should make you an ammo box that has 7 rows and 7 columns to satisfy that OCD! 😁
LOL! That would probably work! I don't know why 6 shooters don't bother me, those numbers don't work out right either. The 605 is perfect! I need to start looking at some of those smaller calibers myself, the only problem is that ammo is so hard to find sometimes. Thanks for watching Marc!
Me, too. Central Oklahoma here, and I'm waiting for the three inch to be released and, boy! I want one of those.
I love 357. It’s so hard to find nowadays.
It is a great round. A lot of ammo is hard to find, and when you do the prices are crazy. I reload several calibers but primers are also scarce and pricey. Thanks for watching!
I have a Taurus model 65 357/38 special can be shot in it I love it I carry it when I don’t have my gx4xl 9mm also a Taurus thanks for your videos I enjoy watching them
I like the Model 65, I'd like to pick one up someday. When I was a kid, my dad and I ran hundreds of .38 specials through a model 65. Thanks for watching!
I got a 605 and a 627 6.5 barrel both 357 I took the 627 hunting didn't get chance use it but both are nice accurate pistols
Both are pretty good guns. Thanks for watching!
I heard that the bark is loud but the bite isnt vicious, and them rhymes you be kickin are quite bootylicious!
Lol, I wouldn't want a .357 taking a bite outta me! Thanks for watching!
Good one Richard. Questions: What do you think of revolvers and Taurus particularly?😊 Taurus has come a long way since the first one I purchased.
Got any experience with the Browning SA-22 semiauto or the Browning T-Bolt?
Keep 'um comin'. Always fun to watch. JimE
I don't own any Browning firearms.....yet!
Am back I was able to get a 942 mag, found it on gun broker. It was rich priced way up to 600 bills, but I bought it any way. I love it so much I went and got a tracker like yours and the 905. I was up cleaning them this morning. Decided to learn on my own while also watching some videos. Nice experience. I did get a 605 defender back in July and that too is a joy to shoot. I sold the snubby I owned before. Keep bringing it boss.
Congratulations! Kind of bites that you had to pay so much for it, but it's a nice little revolver. Enjoy, be safe and thanks for watching too!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Hey i thoroughly enjoy it
@@tonyrebel63 how much did the FFL charge you the transfer fees and all that? I been looking ok gunbroker
@@JesusChrist_IsTruth-LoveForALL $25 dollars, Where are you located. You can always put in your zip code and check around. But make sure the person is active. Sometimes they are. Some are also just ridiculous with the cost. .
@@tonyrebel63 yea, I'm on the west coast, of...L.A. 😄🤷 I found one guy who was decent priced at like 75$ but this was couple years back. I think, many were like $100-150, I'll have to check around again. How is your 605 holding up? How did you like the snubby? Was it a 357 snubby?
FWIW: I purchased a _627 Tracker_ a few months ago. It is my first handgun. I have not fired it yet, but I am looking forward to doing so.
Thanks for posting this video...👍
I would suggest running a few .38 specials through it first, the recoil is lighter and they are more enjoyable to shoot. Don't get me wrong, the .357s are lots of fun, but start with some .38s. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview >>> Thanks. That's what I plan on doing...👍
How can u not shoot a new gun ,the day u bought it ? Wtf...
@@paulmichaud1246 sometimes the stars just don't align!
@@paulmichaud1246 >>> Uh, it was late in the day when I bought it. I do not have a gun range I go to. {The last time I fired a weapon was during a concealed carry class at the end of 2020.} I could not find what little ammo I have at home -- it was hiding...😊
I've had my Tracker 357 for over a decade. I have many "better" guns, but this is the one I will always call my best all around, and I'll never part with
There are a lot of guns that are more refined than a Taurus, but a Taurus is a great functional utility gun. Thanks for watching!
Love 357 in 4" inch ❤
I agree! Thanks for watching!
i love revolvers too!
There's just something about them. Thanks for watching!
I want to try one of these so bad but some of the early problems of cylinder binding and such gives me pause. I wonder if they have worked out these issues? Great video and thank you for it
I had heard of problems with the older Taurus firearms but I haven't had any issues with the newer stuff. Thanks for watching!
Ok So Now I'm Thinking about getting one. THANKS LOL. I saw one today, when I purchased my 856. 3in, which I plan to take to the range next weekend.
Right on. I've been thinking about getting an 856 myself. If you like Taurus at all, I think you'll like the 627. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Thanks. I've owned a couple of Taurus Revolvers in the past. Some I didn't care for others I really liked. I have a G2C which I like. and now the 856. But NOW I need a Big Gun. LOL.
@@dennisgraham3087 you should check out the M44!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview ok Thanks
Getting more impressed with Taurus revolvers. Going to take a look at getting them when finances allow.
I haven't had any issues with their revolvers. I'm a fan of them. Thanks for watching!
Would you recommend this model? I have owned the Taurus public defender for many years and I love that gun
That's completely up to you. I can tell you that I like it.
Thanks for watching!
The Cylinder release on my Taurus hung up a little at first too but a little LCP took care of it, I guess it was just a little dry from the factory.
Sometimes the just need a little love and attention. Thanks for watching!
Best gun I ever owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a big fan of Taurus revolvers! Thanks for watching!
wow beautiful
Thanks!
I had a 605 that I used to carry 180 grain bear loads in. My old camping partner that passed away just over a year ago loveed that gun. I let him carry it and I just scared my 9 mm. That 605 is freaking loud!
I was sleeping one night and my tent and he fired that thing off at some coyotes that got too close for comfort. That was a rude awakening! All I've ever had to do with coyotes as yell at them and they run off. I guess he just wanted to make a statement.
It's been over a year since I've been back woods camping. I didn't just quit because my camping partner died. I had rotor cuff surgery last summer and I haven't been able to carry a backpack yet. It still gives you more peace of mind camping with someone as opposed to being alone. I'm not going to have no one to pull away from the riverbank because they're to drunk and just about to fall in the water. Where's the fun in that!?
You look like your just about my age give or take. My friends are dropping like flies. It's hard to find anyone Stat likes camping in the Backwoods anymore. If I die camping I'll die doing what I love. Maybe I'll get me a Taurus 327. I've always wanted a tracker series 357 Magnum.
I haven't done any back woods camping in years. A couple buddies and I used to go hiking around Peace River in Florida when we were in our 20s. Sometimes we'd decide to go at about midnight, crossing the river with our gear over our heads and passing between the sets of gator eyes we'd spotted with a flashlight. Good times. We usually just carried a .22 rifle with us and never had to shoot at anything except a water moccasin.
I love my 605, yes it is Loud! The 627 might be just a touch quieter but, it's got a good weight to it so it's a little easier to shoot.
Thanks for sharing the story, I hope you find another camping partner, the outdoors is such a wonderful place.
Thanks for watching!
This was one of the first revolvers I got...actually maybe THE first I got...it's cool but I didn't dig how the grip felt even after I changed it out. Also kept having issues with the trigger biting my finger when I pulled it. It's not a bad gun but it wasn't for me. I sold it to someone and I'm presuming they still have it. Having 7 shots is definitely an advantage over other guns and the porting does help with recoil even with .357 magnum. Nice video and nice collection man.
I had a friend with a model 65 and I really liked shooting that thing. They all feel pretty comfortable to me but that 7 shot thing throws me off a bit. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching too!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I own 5 + 6 shot revolvers , but 7 shots just don't seem right. maybe my old mind could get use to it.
@@chiefinspectorclue-so7433 Any of them with more or less than 6 shots seems weird! I have them anywhere between 5 and 9 shots. 5 works out great just because of most boxes of ammo are multiples of 5. (must be my OCD!)
I have a Tracker in 45 acp, it is really a boomer. I inherited it.
Very nice! Thanks for watching!
Eu amo esse revolver, altamente confiável , preciso. Adoraria vê-lo na cor preta oxidada e também na forma cromada brilhante. Excelente agrupamento em seus tiros meu amigo, eu também amo revolveres, facil carregamento pane praticamente zero. Parabéns por suas considerações (8:06). Thanks a lot dude!
Eu gosto de todos os revólveres Taurus. Eu vi fotos dos revólveres rastreadores em um acabamento azulado. Obrigado pelo elogio e obrigado por assistir também.
Thank you for watching!
Tenho uma dese modelo no Brasil ele e ótimo muito bom não tenho oque reclamar.
São armas muito legais. Também não tenho queixas.
I have the same model, and it shot low & left as well. The sights had to be adjusted all the way up and to the right for it to hit point of aim. Odd looking but works.
Sometimes you'll have that, but since I do it with nearly all my guns, I think it's me! Lol. Thanks for watching!
I think shooting low and left is pretty common. Believe it has to do with grip and trigger finger position. I tend to do it with every gun.
@@wes326 It is, I just need to correct what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for doing this. I was thinking about getting one of these but not now. Looks good but not too accurate.
I'm sure the gun is WAY more accurate than I am.
Brasil tem um dos melhores revólveres do mundo, Tracker 627, chamamos de canhão de mão!

I’m looking 👀 for a companion wheel gun for my CHIAPPA RHINO 40DS .357.
I really want to fire them side by side to see if the RHINO mitigates recoil as much as they say?
I have seen many videos and it looks like it does??
I wonder if the ports will make that much difference???
Before I forget, the video was well done and informative!
I have subscribed.
I really am leaning towards this gun?!
I think the ports help quite a bit and the Rhino should really help since it fires out of the bottom of the cylinder. Weird looking guns, but they're pretty cool. Thanks for watching!
Fine firearms! I Just chose to go with the 6inch model and no porting so that I could use cci snake-shot ! The ported models clearly state not for use with snake-shot . In the factory literature! Great guns with full power handloads for hunting purposes or self defense!
Not a bad choice at all! Thanks for watching!
I really like this revolver the only problem I have with it is that the trigger return Spring needs to be lightened quite a bit which would help with the trigger Pull and not interfere with the strike on the primer. Replace the trigger return Spring with Handy-pack 88011 from menards 5/32 x 1 5/16 × 0.023 WG
The trigger weight doesn't bother me too much, maybe if I was doing some competition shooting with it, but I'm ok with it like it is.
I traded my son my Ruger GP 100 for this handgun because he needed the more robust gun for shooting the hotter underwood loads in bear country. I really like this Taurus.
Oooo, I really like the GP100! he Tracker isn't a bad gun either! Thanks for watching!
I've been lookin for the 627 but in my area they're hard to get. Really want it to go with my henry carbine.
The only thing I don't like about the 627 is that 7 shots stirs up my OCD, but then so do 6 shot revolvers! Lol. Thanks for watching!
I too really like my Taurus revolvers.I have a Taurus 9mm semi-auto which I put just over 3000 rds through in one month w/o a single hickup. But my love is revolvers. Have you seen the new Rossi revolvers ? I am really anxious to get my hands on one. Thanx for the video. God bless
Jim
I've only seen the Rossi 66 advertised.
Have you checked out the Taurus 608? 8 rounds of 357! I’m definitely thinking about getting one
Only on line, I haven't had the chance to handle one yet.
I like that painting in your shed..Valesquez?
Ebay. I bought it on Ebay from spring-art-777, all it says is "unsigned". I have a few different ones I'm going to swap out one of these days. Thanks for watching!
It’s normal to have various .38 and .357 loads hit to different points of impact as far as elevation.sometimes dramatically so.
Absolutely! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
do you notice that much of a diffrence in upwards recoil when shooting the 605 and 627? Im curious on how much the ported barrell works
It's tough to tell really. I do believe it helps but then, so does the longer barrel. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Thanks!
Greet video.
Thank you!
Nice look and display of the 627. I'm interested in getting one. My purpose will mainly be target and woods carry. I would love a SW or Ruger, but I just can't justify the $$$ for my purpose.
I think Taurus makes great revolvers and more importantly, they do it affordably. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Thanks for the positive review on the 627 Tracker. Is there any reason you believe that the Tarus Tracker plays 2nd fiddle yo the S&W And Rugers?
@@Blah-blah-sure Taurus had a time when their quality was a little sub par. There are people that have sworn off Taurus just because of that.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Thanks for the response. I picked up a used Tracker 4" 357. So it's my 1st 1. I chose it over the Rugerr b/c iof the expense & the Ruger at the store was a double action only.
My 605 stainless had a sticky cylinder release, I took off the side plate and cleaned out the machining grit. I think Taurus sends out the metal shavings with revolvers so they do not have sweep them off the floor..lol
Lol! I'll have to open mine up and check it out. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching too!
Were those .38's some of your personal reloads? They certainly appeared to be grouping very good. Esp compared to the 357's.
No, those were factory loads. My hand loads are a little light for Cowboy Action shooting.
The 38 special case can be charged to 357 Magnum when reloading the round if that's what you choose to do but it's could be dangerous
Yes, there are a lot of cases that will hold a lot more than they are designed for, sometimes more than double the charge. Reloading is something you need to devote all of your attention to, a simple mistake can be very bad. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
This is my first time viewing your channel. Thank you for a very good video . I have 9, 40 and 45 semis by S&W and am looking for a 357 trail gun for my camping in Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho. I was thinking about the 605. But this looks like a better option. Thank you again.
I really like the 605 myself, but if the size isn't that much of an issue, the 627 holds 2 more rounds and the extra barrel length will give you slightly more velocity. Thanks for watching and I hope you'll subscribe!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I like the size of the 605 and almost made the purchase several times. I have a 9mm for concealed carry but thinking the 357 would be a good trail gun. I have seen three grizzlies over the past 5 years. My only concern on the 605 was reduced muzzle velocity and accuracy. Although in a bear encounter not sure how accurate I’d be. My daughter says it’s the only time she’s seen me scared!
What do you think of the 605 as a trail gun? Thank you
@@anthonyb2334 I think I'd go with the 627 for the trail.

@@anthonyb2334 Thank you!
Shooting low?! Better than I’ve ever done!
I did a little more tweaking of the sights while I was cleaning, hopefully with a little practice, I'll be able to do a little better. Practice and patience is all it takes. Thanks for watching!
Poderia testar o Tracker 692...seria interessante a sua opinião... 👍
Puede que tenga que recoger uno algún día.
Got my titanium 627 over 15 years ago. Took it to the range and it wouldn't fire. Taurus guarantees their gun so I had to send it back for some kind of adjustment.
Works fine now.
Glad they were able to make it right for you. Thanks for watching!
One issue I had was with a PMC ammo and one of the bullets partially came out of the case and got partially stuck. Was a pain in the a$$ to clear.
I've heard of issues with PMC. North American Arms warns against us of PMC ammo in their firearms. Thanks for watching!
I own the 692. Same as the 627 but comes with an extra .9mm cylinder. More bang for the buck.
I need to get a couple of those convertible revolvers. Thanks for watching!
If opening and closing the cylinder is too tight Then Take the screw out that holds the cylinder in place the screw has a detent in it with a small Spring that needs to be trimmed one coil off .
It's getting better with more use. Thanks for watching!
Good review i have 130 acres the tracker lives in my mule
Good choice!
Has anyone had their cylinder unable to stay closed? It appears the extractor stars detent pin got jammed up and only comes out when the cylinder is open and I have to smack the extractor a few times fairly hard for the pin to come back out. If I close it back up the detent pin gets jammed inside and the cylinder falls to the side and flops around
Sounds as if you may have some carbon packed in the detent causing it to get sticky. Try a good cleaner/lubricant and work the detent in and out while it's pointing downward. That should help loosen up the carbon and allow it to run out.
great video sir i am Taurus Gun Fan if i decide to go with a New Hangun it'll be The Taurus Tracker 627 in .357 Magnum / .38 Special
That's a pretty good choice if you ask me. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview YW :)
Trying to decide 6 inch barrel or 4. Thoughts?
That would depend on your intended use. Ohio allows handgun hunting and a 6" barrel is legal for that. The 4" barrel would be much better for a CCW. If you're just plinking, pick the one that feels and or looks better to you. Home defense would be the length you feel most comfortable with and can shoot accurately.
I get your point that 38 is cheaper but it still hits the wallet hard . I just checked Saturday for 38 special 62 bucks a box of 50 . No thanks lol . Told me Black Friday it was on sale for 45 . Can buy a lot of 9mm for that and a boat load of 22 . If I’m “plinking” as you said .
Usually .22s are the cheapest followed by 9mm. I didn't realize that 38s had gotten that high, reloading has its advantages. It wasn't that long ago that .38' and 9mm were about the same price. The biggest problem in the world of ammo right now is that people will pay the artificially inflated prices, and that will keep them from ever coming back down. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I agree 100%.. I wish I would have started reloading myself when I got my first revolver years ago and would have saved myself tons of money.. One of the best things i ever did!
@@ifilmalways7122 when I started reloading I was only saving a couple pennies per round, and only if I didn't count my labor. When I reloading today, I feel like one of those corporate big shots that are rolling in the dough, at least until my supply of components runs out! Lol. The price of primers today is outrageous!
Good review! I have the stainless 605 and it's my most common carry gun. I would like to get the .44 magnum with the 6.5 inch barrel, but it's seldom available.
There are a lot of these revolvers that are hard to find. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview you're welcome! You and I have the same feeling about revolvers. Simple, reliable and we don't have to chase our brass!
@@8626John Absolutely!
I have the raging bull , 44 mag, 6 & 1/ 2 " barrel ! Black, with a red, blue, green dot optic ! Shoots accurate as a rifle ! Taurus rock,s ! Try one ?
I like
Me too!
Are these All Hand loads😮?
No, these were factory loads, but I save the brass because I do reload them occasionally. Thanks for watching!
Oh I like that but I like the hogue grips better on them
I don't mind these grips, I like them better than the "ribber" grips. Thanks for watching Joe!
Loosen the screw a little bit on the cylinder lock it don’t take much then it will relieve some of the tension. When you push the button, the cylinder will come out easier than before. I did that on the 605 and the 65 and it works great. I too am a Taurus fan.
I'll give it a try, thanks for the tip!
My buddy bought a 7 shot taurus .357 and he tells people it holds 6 with one in the pipe! Lol
I guess he's not really wrong! That is hilarious though!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview you'd have to know this guy. A nut job for sure! 😂
@@Wilders53 I have a buddy just like that!
Has anyone been able to find a nice holster for this?
I haven't looked, but I like to make my own.
👍👍
Thanks!
What kind of holster do you use? I bought this gun in 6 1/2 inch barrel, Though I'm still waiting for the gun to ship to the store, Paid 500$ total.
I have one of the cheap nylon Blackhawk holsters that fits multiple guns. I use it when I'm at the range for guns that I don't have a holster for. If it's a gun that I want to carry regularly, I'll either buy a holster for it, or make one.
Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview thanks, I bought a cheapy holster for 37$ well see.
Enjoy and be safe!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview MY versacarry I use for my 9mm works perfectly because there's no bottom so its not an issue that it has a 6 1/2 inch barrel.
Sort of like Josey Wales holster! @@JeffSmith-it4tm
I’ve shot this gun at an indoor range, didn’t like the cloud of powder it produces, stains the back of cylinder and frame horribly, and thumb release scratched up the frame. 357 propels real quick and smooth out the barrel though. Overall, would only use at outdoor range, not for conceal carry. Would recommend a respirator when firing this 627. Lunge cancer ⚠️!!!
I don't care for indoor ranges at all. The biggest problem with the indoor range isn't the burnt powder and smoke, but the lead dust. Most indoor ones will have a special soap for you to wash your hands to remove lead contamination. It is a nice shooting pistol though!
I have one in a.41 Rem magnum
Cool! Thanks for watching!
I haven't seen 41 Magnum ammo in years .I imagine if they were found the price would be tremendous.
@@chiefinspectorclue-so7433 I saw some .41 Mag just yesterday while searching for some 44-40. I don't remember where it was and didn't pay attention to the price because I don't have any firearms that use it, but I remember seeing it.
Where did you get that portrait? Jeffery Epstein estate sale 😂. Great review, hard to find now in 2023 and about $600-700 now.
Lol! It's art, appropriate for an 1800s Saloon! There's a lot of revolvers that are getting hard to find and at reasonable prices. Thanks for watching!
a 7 shot 6 shooter?!?! no way😲
1979 movie "The Villain", kind of a cheesy Western comedy. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview yeah but Arnie didn't have a extra cylinder in 9mm to swap to
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview do we start to call revolvers with rails and 8 shot 357 magnum/38spl with a extra 9mm cylinder 2010s?? Ya kno like the 1911/2011 autoloaders.
@@HighFalutinTootin We missed the opportunity in 1973, maybe we can shoot for 2073!
Big bears have been killed with 22lr, 38spl, 9MM, 357MA, 45ACP, 44MAG, etc.
Shot placement is everything!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Exactly. Thank you for responding.
@@highsecurityagent8778 Thank you for watching!
Adjust the sights
Will do. Thanks for watching!
