The 2000-2001 Jerry Miculek 5" PC627 V-Comp, top below, was an interesting firearm. Mine had the best trigger I've ever experienced - and terrible black/black sights. The comp or muzzle blank was something else to clean - and various grips were tried over the years, the JM's actually being my choice. Mine became a safe queen May 2008 - I bought a new 627 Pro!

May of '08 found me perusing the new S&W catalog at the pusher's only to find two production 4" 627's - a regular production version and a 'Pro' series - like the 625JM I had bought several years earlier. Great bargain - it had two attributes the short-lived production version didn't - moonclip ready and a spring loaded front sight, a la the 625JM and 629 Classic/DX series. I left the pusher's shop with the catalog - and a new 4" 627 Pro. My JM V-Comp started gathering cobwebs.

April 2010 saw the re-introduction of the 1999-2000 2 5/8" PC627 UDR/PDR - at a lower price than the original model. Only change - the addition of the IL. They are less now - $1,049 MSRP vs the 1999-2000 price of $1,199. No more PRC-made Al case - a US made grey plastic PC Shop case replaced it. Still had the older designed Eagle boots - which sometimes back then didn't fit - or now, either. I eventually got a set that fit - for one of my UDR's - decided I didn't like the 'feel' and changed grips anyway. I liked the UDR so much, I finally sold my JM 5" PC627 V-Comp - and bought a second UDR! Some backup - I shoot both of them!
