4in 627 non-performance center
This auction just finished...hundreds north of what I thought it would. These are neat guns though. They are the only classic / conventional looking 8 shot 357’s except for a handful of blued and nickel LH guns.

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.

If I had seen that auction I might have bid, but that does seem to be a steep price! Neat gun.

The 4” Pro Series came out very shortly after offering a moon clip cut cylinder and interchangeable front sight for only $50 more. Tough competition.

Me neither. But being scarce and seldom for sale, 2 bidders saw an opportunity that doesn't come along often. The 3rd place bidder's offer is in the ballpark. I bought one w. box at a live (in-person) auction for about that price. Had been looking for one for quite some time, so I was prepared to offer about another $100..no more.
