Honestly, the problem with the PC guns is how incredibly ugly they are. I had a 625 PC, which is not as bad as the 629 or 627, but I just couldn't warm up to it.
If they made a more traditional looking 3" barrel 627, there's no question I'd carry one before I bought a 686. Heck, before I bought a 3" 627 I'd get a 2.5" 629 to match my 3", 4", and 6" 44s.
That said, I find the L frame awkward and prefer an N frame. In my hand, L frames feel like a humpback K frame.
FWIW, I pocket carry a 357 Mag every day - it's a Kimber K6S. If I wanted a 7 shot 357 to belt carry, I'd get a GP100.
