I've got a 627-3 V-Comp I bought used several years ago that did not come with the barrel cap that replaces the compensator. I asked the original owner about it and he said it never had one. I don't know if he was telling the truth or not...

I contacted S&W Customer Service inquiring if I could purchase the end cap for my gun and the gentleman on the line started laughing and said he just happened to have a spare one sitting on his desk. He took my contact info and sent it to me no charge.

Just another reason I'm a fan of S&W...
