Here are pictures of X frame (500) grips on a round butt 629. They won't fit square butt guns.... They also fit current K and L frame round butt revolvers. They are available only from S&W in black, yellow or orange...

M1Lover, If your gun has all factory documentation and you wish to sell it I may be interested. Let me know.... tennexplorer and BUFF Please pardon the hijack but I've just gotta ask.... I have several 25-3 125th Commemoratives, one of which is a shooter. Would it be as simple as it...

Here is a picture of a 66-8 with its brother, a new Mod 69. Everyone I know who owns either of these guns, and from my own experience, have found them to be accurate, durable, and filling a very useful nitch. A very strong K frame 357 was needed and I believe S&W has achieved that goal. The...

Here's one of mine with JM grips... Very nice guns!

I've been S&W shooter and collector for decades. I currently own many S&W's in all the frames, calibers, barrel lengths and finishes. I own older collectibles as well as the latest production models. I've had the good fortune to have shot almost every configuration offered by S&W since the...

Below are two more pictures of a 2k range Mod. 66 no-dash gun, NIB of which I'm the original owner. This 66 is 100% correct as shipped from the factory. It has the original stainless rear sights, stainless Baughman style front sight blade, trigger stop, etc. Many of these guns had their...

Like Nightowl, Dale53 and CWH44300 I have been shooting Mod 29's and 629's for many years -- several decades actually. I have early ones and the newest ones. Much of the "strength" issues began when people started pushing their guns in an attempt to determine how much pressure their 44 Mags...

Now we need these two guns in 2 1/2 or 3" barrels and especially offered in 41 Mag! They are winners! Hope you're listening, S&W.....

Below are two pictures of an all original 66 no-dash in the 2k serial range. I am the original owner of this pictured 66. It remains NIB with the original sealed tools, box and included literature of that era. Values of these guns can range widely. Many were modified as has been mentioned...

Yep.... I'd be standing in line for an L frame .41 in 4" and/or a 2 1/2 - 3". From what I've heard and seen so would a lot of other people.... There are some caliber/frame configurations that would be a perfect fit and the L frame in .41 mag would be one of them. I have a 66-8 and a 69...

Very nice looking setup, gnaooi.... I use a Nelson break-front holster originally made for my Mod. 57 6" duty revolver that fits my 627 PC 5" almost perfectly. I see you also have 5-Star cnc speed-loaders as do I. Very nice! I would recommend one addition to your N frame round butt and that...

What he said..... I like innovation and new aesthetics. I have many old traditional style revolvers and many new style. Love them all! If revolvers are to survive by appealing to a broad base of people new style changes that don't cause the slightest performance impact are a must. Keep up...

Jeesh!!!! How far do some people want to go with this!!! Does any restoration effort or upgrade come under this "label correct" scrutiny? As a long time S&W collector, who incidentally has never used one of these labels, I see no vital issue with doing so as long as that label isn't...

Yep! Like several long time shooters on this thread who actually owned all the barrel lengths the 5" is recognized as the best overall compromise for an N frame. Like many of these posters I have been fortunate to have a large collection of S&W handguns. When hunting, backpacking or just...

RC.... I hear ya about the "whack" with regular loads. The X frame grips have eliminated that issue for me. Many other people who use them report the same result. I use them on all my field N frames. The added cushioning material at the rear of the grip actually makes warm and hot mag...

PR 24 and wolverine.... If you're still having trouble finding a good holster for a 5" N frame try a 6-6 1/2" Bianchi Cyclone. Have it cut by a good leathersmith to 5 1/4". This holster fits all my N frame 5" guns perfectly including the half and full lug guns and the 627 PC...

The 5" N frames have long been my favorites, BLUEDOT37. Here are three I'm currently working up hand-loads for utilizing the new Alliant BE-86 powder. The top one is a 629-6 Classic with X frame grips. The second is a 27-2 with factory "footballs". The third is a recently purchased 627-5...

I've waited to comment until I've had a chance to seriously evaluate and shoot my new 5” 627 PC. I appreciate all the experiences people have had with PC guns. I have to say mine shows none of the problems a few reporting here have experienced and the gun is extremely accurate with my own...

Thanks for taking the time to reply with the educational info, guys... I bought the 627 PC. As a long term collector, shooter and hunter with pre-1982 S&W handguns I'm afraid I may be entering a whole new area of interest with these Performance Center guns. Outstanding post from Colt...

Performance Center vs production revolvers - are they worth the extra price? The particular revolver I'm looking at is the PC 627 5". I'd like to hear comments from those who own or have handled extensively both of these guns or other PC guns if possible... The retail on the PC is between...
