If you're wanting to shoot 9mm getting a 627 reamed to 9x23 is the way to go, or buy one of the hard to find 38 Super 627s. Short Colts work well in the .357s. I'll get a 929 when they start making them and most likely retire the .357s. The VComp is nice but it's very heavy to transition and the comp isn't very functional. Also the PC pistols cost a lot more and the triggers suck. I'd buy a standard or Pro series and use that as basis of a build.
