OK, here is mine:
627PC
That's a beautiful piece, a few details would be nice.

Well, I don't have much info, but here is what I have:
It was manufactured in 2010. I bought it less than two years ago and it came with the box, papers, and test fired shell -- but no moon clips. I have since gotten some moon clips for it.
It was from the era when Performance Center guns still used forged parts, because the trigger has the solid back rather than the hollow MIM version that I have seen on some PC guns made more recently.
It does have the internal lock, though.
It weighs just under 38 oz empty, and has a 2 5/8" barrel.
The grip on it is the original. I don't have a picture, but most of the time I shoot it with an Ahrends grip that is just a bit larger and has room for three fingers.
It's very accurate, and the weight absorbs much of the recoil.
I don't carry it as it's not listed on my license. I may list it as one of my three carry guns when I renew my license later this year -- if I can figure out a way to conceal it well.

Ah, man, you got a cardboard box, a certificate and a lockable case with yours. I just got my 627 with no frills. You did not (obviously) use the same, el-cheapo Electric-Diesel Submarine Delivery Service I used to get mine.
Oh, well, beggars can't be choosers. That's some nice stuff you have there.

Yes, for some reason, mine was short that documentation as well.

Very nice! Still on the lookout at the gun shows for one.
Every 8 shot, 357 Magnum Model 27/327/627 variation produced by the Performance Center was cut for moon clips. Each one also shipped with 2 or 3 moon clips somewhere in the original packaging.
The two runs from Bangers in 2000 were both Performance Center firearms. Product codes 170166 and 170167
Why do you think otherwise? Is yours missing the logo?
If you do not already own one, you should order a copy of the Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson. This book has lots of information in it.
The 4th Edition should be shipping in a few months

Just the PC logoI thought they were PC guns, mine is a Lew Horton and has the PC logo on the left side under the cylinder release and it has a nice big S&W on the sideplate. The 4 inch above doesn't look like it has the S&W on the sideplate, making me wonder whats on the left side of a 27-7 (besides no lock).
Traditionally the PC logo replaces the S&W logo on a Performance Center firearm
Mine aren't the newest with all the cool safety features... but I kinda like them nonetheless...
Nah, they're ok...

Ha, ha, that's rattling the chains of all the locknuts.
