Approximately 5000 were made. I wouldn't call them "very rare", I'd call them very heavy. Nice guns!

Modele 627-0
Greetings there ,,Gaetan. As to your inquiry: The model 627-0 is a Smith and Wesson N Frame revolver chambered in 357 magnum.
It has a 5.5 INCH barrel with a full underlug. The cylinder is unfluted.
Manufacture started in 1989 and continued into the 1990s. They came in a one piece clamshell box. The PRODUCT code is 101024.
They shipped with the wood finger groove grips you see in the picture of mine.
These are the only stainless Smiths ever to have a factory checkered top strap.
They are big and heavy, weighing 3 1/2 pounds.
Prices in America range from $600. to $1000. depending on condition and grips.
IF ,you like a big revolver that will handle almost any 357 Magnum load ,then this will suit you.
As a serious Smithophile ,I found one at auction years ago and have had it ever since.
Let us know the price ,and condition of the one you are looking at and whether you buy it.
Good luck ,,, AlleN=Frame

Hello there.
I own one of the revolvers you are asking about.
I asked Roy Jinks what the total production number was, and he told me, if memory serves, 3286. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Wade

I've had mine long enough (5 years plus) to put several thousand rounds through it. It's a tack driver! I can't imagine ever getting rid of it.

I like mine.
Bought it new in 89.
Shoot the heaviest load you'd like and it can take it.
Accurate too.
I shot this @ 15 yards, no joke.

I have a S&W 627-0, the S/N is 5100, so I think there were more then 3200 made.
they were not serialized starting with 1......they started at whatever the next serial number available was.....

Does anyone know where I can get a set of medallion grips like those shown in Allen's picture?
I too have a 627 "Model of 1989" that I picked up for a song back in about 2006. I do have the original box, but was so excited when I got it that I totally missed out on the fact that the squared off Hogue rubber grip is probably not original.
I forgot to ask the person if they had the originals. Now, I can buy N frame round but combat grips at S&W, but they don't have the medallions. I have an email somewhere from S&W where I asked when my gun was made and how many were made. If I recall correctly, that fellow also told me that around 5000 were made.Thinking of putting it on gunbroker, but now I really wish I had the correct type grips.
I agree with everyone here that it's a great, stout, accurate and heavy 357 that can handle any load I care to stuff it with. But for me, the 357 belongs in an L frame, especially for the DAO shooting I mostly do. That big unfluted cylinder is heavy on the trigger action too. So, it's not seeing much daylight any more.

If you are intending to sell it, you might just consider selling it as it with rubber stocks. The last time I saw round butt combat stocks, they were going for $350. I'm not sure that you will get your money back for putting wood stocks on it.
