8 shot revolver thread...

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

Sorry, no pics (I'm working on it) but honorable mention for the 4" M27-7 I picked up a few months ago. It's a no-lock PC gun and is #24 of only 100 produced. There were also only 100 similar 6" models and I much prefer the 4" but would like to have #24 in 6" to keep mine company.
And not to hijack but then find a no-lock 627 UDR and my 8-shot itch will have been scratched.

That's one heck of an itch ya got there ! Good luck in your quest. I could never afford to start a collection like that but I can certainly live vicariously through others!

Caine: But Master Po, I have learned everything you have taught me. When will it be time for me to leave?

Po: You have done well, Grasshopper, and we are pleased. When you can show us a 6.5 inch 627 on top with a 4 inch on the bottom and a 686 in the middle, it will be time for you to leave.

Love my new 627 PC 5 inch barrel. Trigger is a little stacky for what I prefer, but I think it'll smooth out with use. Very accurate gun. I carry it in a de santis thumb break. I think it's the perfect defensive revolver.

I only have a few 8 shot revolvers.

My TRR8 is getting a bit lonely.
A PC 627 might be a nice companion.
Wondering if these are also setup for moonclips?

Every 8 shot, 357 Magnum that the Smith and Wesson Performance Center produced in the 27/327/627 family of revovlers left the factory set up for moon clips and included 2 or 3 with clips the firearm at the time of original sale.

Well assuming I make it through the next 2 weeks, this may be the next one. I feel my resolve beginning to weaken.

Taroman, as far as I know the stainless gun in this picture is the only model 8 shot .357 made that was not cut for moon clips. Also seen in post 6, by slt223

I have the 6-1/2 inch 8-shot Model 27-7 that jack-the-toad is missing. I bought it new in October, 2000 and put it away. I would like a 4 inch M-27-7 and would gladly trade my unfired longer one for a similar shorter M-27-7, or buy one for cash outright. One of the last of the 'no lock' guns in the series. Like Jack and others have said, Bangers only ordered and received 200 guns of each length.

I bought one of the very first 8 shot Model 627 "8 TIMES" 5 inch, slab-sided barrel guns as my Christmas gift to myself on 12-24-1997, number 511. These are true Performance Center guns. Mine's still un-shot.

What would be perfect for me is an 8 shot Model 627 with the traditional tapered barrel profile of the traditional Model 27 with a 5 inch length, and no lock. I worry that, in time, I may bob my M-27-7 down to 4 or 5inches and have it Metalloyed or Armalloyed or Metalifed to get my perfect belt .357 Magnum revolver.

I have two 627 UDR's, the second has been to TK Custom for an action job and chamfering.

Life is short, if that is truly your perfect gun.......,...go for it. I hate hearing about nice guns that languish unfired. I'd rather see it modified, and used.

I put a towel over my keyboard before opening this thread. It caught all the drool very well.

Nice guns guys.
