That is what prevented me from buying one of the production 627s when there were first produced.
As to the Carbon Steel 8 shot Model 27s, considering all barrel lengths there is close to 2000 of them in the marketplace. If there were a way to investigate it, I would bet that the number of 8 shot Heavy barrel Model 627s is probably not too far off that same number. These were not good sellers.

Yes, I realize. I meant classic or conventional in the sense they are round and not slab sided. I picked one up a few years back for that reason.
