I bought two new 2 5/8" PC627 UDRs, one 4/10 and the other 10/10, which, other than the poor fitting 'old stock' Eagle boots they came with, were perfect. Okay, the first one needed it's front sight centered... big deal. My JM 5" PC627 V-Comp, bought used, was better than perfect - it was perfect and had the lightest pop any primer trigger I've ever experienced. They did - and still do - make good revolvers.

Oh - S&W did exchange grips with me - on their dime FEDEX ground - until I got a 'good one' - which I didn't like the feel of anyway!

I am sorry for the OP's problems - and glad he got his check.
