I have the 5" PC 627 and like it. Unfortunately, it is, last time I checked, not legal in either IPSC nor IDPA (well, you can use it in IPSC, but only in "Open" class which puts you up against full-on race-guns with optics, etc., so hopelessly outgunned) and that's kind of a bummer.....but probably also attests to how good a revolver it really is.
