627 performance center quesion

[lefty lar]

I purchased a 627 5" performance center gun & the trigger pulls are great. I loved it so much I purchased the 627 2 5/8" performance center & the trigger pull on the double action seems a lot harder. Any reason for this? Should I pay for S&W to do a action job or take it to a local gunsmith?. Does anybody know the pound pulls on the 627 5" & the pound pulls on the 627 2 5/8". Plus, what target rounds do you use in the 627 5". Many thanks in advance for any info!

Trigger spring

If it were me I would put a 13 or 14 lb. trigger return spring in it and see how that feels. it should make quite a difference without giving up any hammer strike capability.

I am guessing that the original mission of the first run (1999) of the UDR PC627 may be at fault here. As an 'Ultimate Defensive Revolver', it should go 'bang' with any ammo - and any time. That requires a stiffer hammer spring. My 2001-2002 vintage 5" JM PC627 V-Comp has the best trigger of all of my S&Ws - and has never produced a ftf. My 627 Pro is next higher - with a lower effort hammer & trigger return Wolff spring - and does produce an occasional ftf with my Win primed reloads. Highest, and not by much post-breakin, is my new run UDR PC627 - and it produces no ftf's. As it is most likely to be grabbed as an impromptu house gun, that little extra effort is not a problem.

Oddly, my favorite is the 4" 627 Pro - love that easily changed front sight! Next - the UDR. That lovely triggered JM V-Comp is just clunky - the sight picture slurps - and, sporting the cap or comp, it's harder to clean. I use Fed primers, so the re-sprung 627 Pro is 100% reliable.

My UDR seemed to breakin quickly - and settle down to a decent DA pull. Shoot your's and enjoy it!

I have used the 627PC in both 5 and 3 inch barrel lengths and cannot distinguish ant diffference in their actions. I have lighened both DA trigger pulls wth a lighter rebound slide spring and a Wolf reduced power mainspring.
