Keep it - shoot it - it has a lifetime warranty - you can always return it to them (S&W). Call them re the missing clips - they'll send you some. Then - find Ranch Products current phone number - order some. They were 50/$50 or 100/$75 delivered - and they'll ship & bill you - or, at least, they did. They fit Remi & Starline brass most easily. There is also the 5starfirearms.com site for a nice 8-hole machined speedloader & loading baseplates. Good products. Both sources are top drawer to deal with. The Brownell's long nutdriver-style demooner made for the 627 holds 8 .357M empties - ~$15 - works great. Enjoy your 627!

PS Ss... is there a name change in the offing?
