627 & 629 Performance Center

[NiteQwill]

Decided to add a 627 and 629 Stealth Hunter Performance Center to my collection recently and I cannot express how amazing they look and feel. I've been loading some light target loads using 231 and they have been a blast to shoot (very accurate, too!).

After adding some Ahrends, I decided to give them a photoshoot...

GORGEOUS ! ! ! WHAT KIND OF WOOD IS ON THE 629 ? ? ?

How is the 629? I would like to get my first 44 and I go back and forth between the stealth hunter and the 629 pc snub that looks just like your 627. What's your input between the two 44's?

They are Kim Ahrends Retro Combat in rosewood stained maple. They are quite beautiful and comfortable in person. The pictures don't do it justice.

I was in the same boat as you! After firing a 2 inch 44 magnum, I decided it just wasn't for me. The recoil was unmanageable and violent for such a small gun using 240 gr loads. That doesn't mean I wouldn't own one, of course. But the Stealth Hunter is just a pleasure. The weight and magna port allow the gun to shoot softer than the 627 with full power 357 magnum.

Nice, thanks for the input. I love snubbies but the big 44 makes sense. How is shooting 627 with wood grips? I just picked up a 627 just like yours but I have not shot it yet

Do you like the Tactical or the Retros better. Very cool "raygun" lookin thing. Ted
