I just purchased a PC 627 V-comp new from the factory... It was in terrible shape.
Hammer hit the frame.
action was rough and heavy
side plate had a nick
forcing cone had a large burr
Yoke barrel was poorly finished
Blue wasn't consistent

I mounted a JPoint shot it one day, sent it back.
S&W sent the gun back saying the could not get the sight off since it had loctite. Which is absolutely riduculous.

I was thinking of getting rid of the gun. Didn't want to deal with all the issues and certainly was not happy with S&W

I ended up spending a few day working the action, fixing the problems.

The gun now has a smooth 4lb trigger, runs great and is an absolute blast to shoot. I am very happy that I kept the revolver. I probably will shoot USPSA open and steel challenge with it

Would I get another, probably not a new one from the factory
