The Heritage 24 I traded for my 627-3 was $599 new from CDNN a few years earlier... they had great deals there, once upon a time.
My 627 Pro was more - $709 last year - but still a deal. It has a larger hammer and trigger than my older 627 - I find that odd - but nice. Love that 627 Pro - especially it's spring-loaded front sight. Incidently, I ordered the Miculek grip for the 627 Pro, but after trying the Ahrends Retro Targets on my new 617 last fall, I elected to get a pair for my 627. Perfection. Tried them on the 627-3 - ho hum. Then - the Miculek grip on the 627-3 - again, perfection! If you have the Miculek grips for your 627-3 - and they are sitting in a dark drawer, get them out and try them. Yeah, I've seen the tri-colored ones - gawdy - but comfortable - and a fast and non-fidgety grab. Probably miserable with a real recoil, however.
