Thanks Stainz. I ordered some Ranch clips and that Brownells moon clip stripper.

Welcome! What part of PA? I live outside of Philly near Springfield.

I got the 627 Pro yesterday. I haven't shot it yet but I like the way it feels in my hand. Overall it feels similar to the size of the 686 but with a wider cylinder. There's a small scuff mark on the front part of the lug. Not a big deal but it's annoying to find that on a new gun. Is that...

I ordered a 627 pro this afternoon. Thanks for everyone's input! I'll be sure to post pics when I get it.

I have a 617 with a 6" barrel. At first I wanted the 4" but my gunshop only had the 6". It looked like it might be tough to get a 4" in so I went with the 6". I'm happy with it. It is a little muzzle heavy with the full lug but it's fine for me. I figure it's good training for my arms. :)...
