    A friend of mine has one of these. I was pleasantly surprised when I first shot it thinking the wood grips were gonna bit, it did not at all. Now I really want one.

    I strongly doubt that 6 shots of 357 magnum properly placed wouldn’t solve most problems, but 8 shots may be more comforting to some.

      1 properly placed shot would do it.

      Unless there were 3-4 perps then 8 might actually not be enough

      ​@@lh8372if you're in a situation with 3-4 perps, for starters you probably have either poor situational awareness or poor decision making skills. Secondly, even in this scenario, 2 shots in each chest should easily end the fight. You wouldn't have time to make more shots than that anyway.

    I like it. The heavy frame will make it much easier to shot than my S&W mod 60 357 Mag
    I know the 327 Magnum is not that popular BUT in this cylinder you could get 9 shots vs 8 shots of 357 Mag & if the cylinder was increased in diameter just about 1/10'' of an inch more it would most likely be capable of 10 shots. 327 Mag does very well in short barrels but again S&W is very unlikely to chamber another revolver in 327 Mag as the one they did introduce didn't stay in the catalog very long

    not to be picky. but thank u for your honesty. when you pointed out the trigger guard being right up against the middle finger did it for me. I actually pay attention. thank you sir. my 686 deluxe has only one issue. a really thin trigger. like an old single action western gun. Hate it. wished it had a wide trigger. Yes i know im a puss. but when i hit the range i need what i need. And if i cant do it in practice i cant do it in a carry situation. just my stupid 2 cents. Thank you again.

    @StudSupreme Před 5 měsíci

    Mine had a 11-12lb trigger pull, so I had it backed down to about 8.5 (double action.)
    Had to replace the grips - needed something much larger.
    Have an IWB holster. It's bulky and heavy. Can carry in the winter, but not in the summer.

  • @user-fw1vx3us4f
    @user-fw1vx3us4f Před měsícem

    If your entire basis for liking or owning a revolver is compactness for concealed carrying, then the N frame 627 here isn't going to be your pick. I would think of this more as a home defense piece, camping or range gun more than carry. In the winter with a lot of outer wear this would work but in the summer, yeah, this 627 is just going to be bulky. Generally, people reviewing these seem to like them a lot.
    PS - "Everything you need and nothing you don't"(?) I think most would say strongly it doesn't need the lock.

  • @orthogonal1
    @orthogonal1 Před 11 měsíci +4

    I have been looking at the PERFORMANCE CENTER® MODEL 327. This model has the same 8-shot capacity, a shorter 2-inch barrel, and the Scandium Frame (lighter weight). The grips are longer, too, though I figure it'll be a knuckle biter with full-power loads. My 629 with 2.5-inch barrel doesn't bite me as much as my old Ruger Super Blackhawk. I've been looking at after-market grips.

    • @jmichna1
      @jmichna1 Před 8 měsíci +2

      I'm looking at the same Scandium frame, but am now leaning toward this SS option; even though an N frame and SS, it is no heavier than my trusty 4" 686 plus I get the two extra rounds, and - of course - that Performance Center trigger action. The factor pushing me in this direction is the slightly longer barrel length; I've seen published data showing that with .357 magnum ammo, you get about a 15-20% increase in muzzle velocity going from a 2" barrel to a 3" barrel (I know, the SS 627 is not quite 3"... more like 2.65" but there will still be some ballistics improvement... Anyway, that's my thought process.

      You can buy the smith and Wesson 327 over the phone by calling Nagels gun shop in Sanantonio Texas and they will ship it to you to your local firearms dealer the 327 is an unbelievable fantastic gun it definitely gets the job done

      It hiccups every few cylinders. It tends to misfire every 16-24 rounds because of the gap where the moon clip is supposed to be

    13:22. With large fingers and hands, how is that NOT ALSO a problem when using a smaller gun, such as the j-frame or k-frame?? And why isn't the problem at least somewhat solved by buying a different grip?

      That's why whenever I purchase a firearm I like, I buy 2 of the same model. One that'll probably get confiscated, and I'll stash another for when I'm released from police custody. That way I'm still armed. Problem solved 🤷
