I can't agree more Bluedot! As is the case in many things in life.
I used the Brass Lap that you can use with a Power Drill. Following the directions carefully is the key not to overdue it. My crown came out smooth and perfect. I just wished S&W would have spent the extra time to do this...
Accuracy Issue Resolved. I did go ahead and Polish the Crown Myself with the Brownells Brass Lap. 6 rounds at 15 yards with 5 almost touching! I am happy. See photo.

HarrishMasher many thanks for posting the Pics. After reviewing your Pics they look exactly like mine did BEFORE they did the work. We will see how it shoots this weekend. I may go ahead and shoot it as is before I try to polish the crown.
Thanks Ridewalker for the reply. I would expect the pistol to be accurate out of the box. I have already expended a over a hundred rounds. However we will see how it goes when I get out next weekend. HarrisMasher nice groups! I was grouping 6 inches at 15 yards. I hope to even get close to what...
They did re-crown the barrel but they did not polish it. I find that amazing. So far very unimpressed with Smith and Wesson Performance Center. I have several S&Ws revolvers and a 1911pd but this experience has been a huge dissapointment. They did align the barrel. I bought a .357 brass lap...
I actually have another N Frame 625JM so very familiar with handling that type of revolver. The barrell does appear slightly unaligned as you can see from the photo and the crown does not appear finished. When I relayed this to S&W they told me to send it back. I will provide a range report...
Received the grips back Friday. Fast service. Not having accuracy issues. Interesting experience with such and expensive firearm!
Thanks for all the replies
I purchased a S&W 627PC a few weeks ago and had to send the grip panels back because they were different colors. After getting the grips with the correct matching stains I took it out to shoot this weekend.
Now another surprise. The accuracy at 15 yards using sad bag rests was all over the...
I sent them back today. Now my Revolver has no grips. I hope they do not take too long to send the replacements. They did not volunteer to pay for my return shipping so I sent the grips only.
