I went to a major gun dealer today to order a second PC 627 with 2.625" barrel, and they couldn't find one at any of the distributors they checked. What gives. Am I going to have to wait until after Christmas?

When I bought my first one, they pulled it up on the computer, and I had it two days later.

The PC seems to have been pushing hard to keep up with orders all year. Back in May I ordered a 627 UDR through my LGS and was told they were back ordered. Through the grapevine I learned that the PC had turned to filling orders for other N-frames for which sizable ordered backlogs had developed.

In September I found and bought an almost new 627 that had been made in February of this year; I can't magine why anyone would sell it, but I picked it up just to make sure I got one in case the PC never got them coming off the assembly floor again. But in late October the one I ordered finally showed up, and I'm impressed enough with the model that I am going to hang on to both of them. Excellent guns, just excellent.

Be patient, and they'll get one made for you. But I wouldn't bet on having it available by Christmas.

UDR Means Ultimate Defense Revolver and Budsgunshop.com has them in stock along with the .44 629UDR.
I think they want $823.00 for each one, that is where I picked up both my 627 & 629 UDR last year.
btw... The 627 was made famous fro the movie "Bloodwork" with Clint Eastwood.

I have one and just never heard the UDR tag. Really like the "Bloodwork" nickname -I also have a "Dirty Harry" 44 Mag but in a 4"-still works .(it wasn't a 44 Mag in teh movies I am told) Love the Clint Eastwood movies!

dwever,

You already have one... and want another one? Kind of gluttonous, aren't we? Of course, having had my second one for over a year... I should know!! Seriously, it's a fine revolver... er, they are fine revolvers... love my pair!

Now, about Clint Eastwood movies... and buying what he uses... I, unknowing, bought a new model reel-type push mower a couple of years back - nearly killed me. A kid across the street thought I was having a stroke - offered to finish my 10,000 square foot front yard - said I was like 'the old guy in Gran Torino'... Hmrph - he had a postage stamp sized yard. I now have a battery operated mower.

If you feel like a drive, SEG, just below Trusville on US-11, had one last week. Call them... they might ship - Bud's would be cheaper that way, I am sure.

PS I remember the adverts for the original release - 1999 - it was termed the 'Ultimate Defense Revolver' then.

Yeah, it's true, a real glutton as I plan on buying a third one actually, I also bought the 5 inch barreled version in 2008/9 I think. Nice to have all my match grade moon clips and stuff work among all three weapons. My only other weapons are my agency mandated Glock and shotgun, and a PC 629 Stealth Hunter.

Once I get this next one, my plan is to see which one of the two 2.625" barreled editions could benefit the most from a Performance Center action job and send that one for the action job and I'll pay the $125 to have them drop a fluted cylinder in that one too (so I can tell them apart (-. It is worth noting that the action on the first two are heavy but smooth as glass - very nice. And even the smaller one handles full load .357 very well, I put 70 .357's through at the range, three versions from 130 to 180 grain, lost a little skin on my lower left thumb, but very manageable (other than needing a callous on my thumb there). From my standpoint, the 130 grain .357 load that is Federal Premium's "Low Recoil", well I couldn't tell, but with the N frame not a need anyway. [By the way, I didn't realize 70 or so .357's through your weapon would get it dirtier than 400 .38's. My whole cylinder and barrel were noticeably dark, and I had carbon in places I'd never seen it before]

Found the UDR in Franklin, TN thanks to happy jackson's post on this thread (thanks sir!), but they want $999 minus a 5% law enforcement discount, so I'm going to keep looking and try Stainz lead at the Trussville shop. Thanks guys!

Stainz - thanks!! They still have it, $899. I'm gonna drive down there this weekend so this can be the first PC gun I interviewed first without buying it sight unseen.

Anyone know of a 625PC w/ 2" barrel for sale?

dwever,

SEG has good prices even if most folks find them unfriendly. On the other side of the road (US 11) and north of Trussville, about a mile after US 11 becomes a two-lane, you'll find a couple of large revolvers in the parking lot at 'Birmingham Pistol Wholesale' (On the north side of Trussville - away from Birmingham!). He has good prices, selections, and manners, too! They opened last spring - no 2 5/8" PC revolvers, however. Interesting mix.

A fraction of a mile further north and a left turn by the Publix will get you quickly back to I-59. To get to Huntsville, go south and take the first exit (141) - right turn towards Pinson - pass WallyWorld on the left - cross Old Springville Rd by another Publix - keep going (Wave towards your right - you'll pass a quarter mile from my house!). Keep going until it dead-ends in Al 79, a four lane. Right turn - and boogy - it runs into US 231 from Oneonta - stay on US 231 to Huntsville.

Stainz

That's odd... I have a friend who lives in Leeds - bought from SEG for years - now drives to Huntsville and buys at Larry's! Since June, I have spent my moola at BPW - professional yet friendly - even ordered my 632 Pro for me.

Went by the big Huntsville S&W dealer today (Larry's), still no PC 627's in the pipeline, I suppose this Friday I'll need to travel out of town for one as identified earlier in this thread if not sold.
