That five inch 627 is likely a 627-2. Target Champion is something I have seen on exported guns, not so much in US. The five inch is extremely hard to come by here in US. If you can have only one, that would be my choice. I looked for 15 years before I found one I could buy. I only saw two before I bought one. One was sold before I saw the ad and the other one, I ran out of money!
I like the 627-0, too, as it has the five and a half inch barrel that you indicated and checkered top strap. The 5.5 inch guns were the last of the guns to receive top strap checkering i believe.

When I first got here, there was a model 19P for sale but it sold soon after I noticed it. I am also on the look out for the export only Performance Center model 617. They have Pythons for a little over a thousand bucks, Diamondbacks for around $800, SAA, a Triple Lock for around $1500 and alot more. Most of the guns here are in really good condition. Nobody is allowed to carry them and that means the ones for sale usually have less wear than the same gun in America. Plus they are usually shot much less too. I wonder if there are any Registered Magnums floating around here?
Other than my 27-8 because that really doesn't count.
The permit I have here limits me to only 6 handguns... (I know) I have 5, I have room for one more. My wife will have to apply for her permit, so I can sell her my beater model 28-2 to make more room

Here is a 617 for sale that I think might be a Performance Center European export.
Or maybe this one is a PC 617 too?

They love their Nill grips on your side of the pond! That's some serious custom work.
