Did you intend to post a picture of a pellet gun?

No, but then my eyes are not what they once were. I hope this covers my putative oversight.

Here is my beauty. I need to spend more time at the range with it and I plan to do so the rest of this year.

heres mine

This 627 is my favorite 357 Magnum ever. It has a natural feel in my hand, enough weight to make 125gr JHP feel like hot 38+p in most guns and 8 shots. I guess that's why they call it the ultimate defensive revolver.

I cut the horn off a set of Hog Hunter Crimson Trace grips and love the feel and knowledge when I'm carrying this gun I'm very well prepared.

627 Pro, with Ahrends and a JMT lock plug.

That is simply a Fantastic Picture epj!

Here's my new 929

Now that is a great solution when you cannot decide between rubber grips and wood stocks!

Fun Game...

I've had a 929 for about a year now and shot it in a couple of fun matches. Had a lot of fun slicking up the trigger action and tweaking it a bit. Decided to buy another one as a backup gun for matches.

It's not exclusive or fancy, but here is my 627 Pro I bought to treat myself for my 60th birthday.

This is it when I first picked it up at my local FFL after buying it from Bud's:





And this is how it looks now that I've changed out the Goodyears for a proper set of Cocobolo Ahrends grips:



The only other thing I've done since the last 2 pics is change out the red ramp front sight for a gold bead patridge front blade. I got spoiled to the gold bead patridge style front sight with my "Outnumbered" 27-5 that came with that style sight installed. I've put them on my 629-3 Classic and this 627 Pro since they have the interchangeable front sight system.

We need updated pics Mudd.

 

[muddocktor]

I'll have to get off my fanny and do an updated pic with the new sights on my 627 Pro and 629-3 then. The new blades are a dream to shoot with and much easier to see with these old eyes.

I am in love with my brass/gold bead Patridge front sight. I know exactly what you mean.

A couple of 6.5"ers







... and one that is a bit shorter - with some custom wood:

 

[muddocktor]

Ok, I just took a pic of my 627 Pro with the gold bead patridge sight installed on it. I really do like these beaded patridge sights. And I also love the replaceable sight system that S&W has on these revolvers as well as on my 629-3 Classic. It makes swapping front sights out quick and easy.

The Lew Horton Registered Magnums with their dual logos are the oddballs.

Dont forget about the last Non-Registered Magnum and the only wartime production Magnum that was produced in 1942 with a 4-1/2" barrel. Small logo on the left side and a large logo on the right side, serial number 62489.

 

[MadJack13]

New to the.forums, recently added a 627 PC to the collection.

627-5

Here's seldom seen SKU 163357 Non-Pro Series 627 8 shot revolver. These had a rather short production run. I think it was only in the 2008 catalog.

I have the twin to your 627, but I bought it sans box from pawn shop and could not find much info on it in the catalog. It is marked 627-5 serial CMX33xx. Mine started with Goodyears as well, so I assume it shipped with them? Was this a Horton run? Is your gun close to same number?

I would love to see a Performance Center version of a 627 with a traditional shaped barrel. Eight shot, cut for moon clips, interchangeable front sight, flash chromed hammer/trigger, and 4-inch traditional round barrel!

627 V-Comp with RedDot

Love my 627 V-Comp with RedDot. Accurate and easy to shoot.

It did in fact come with S&W logo Hogue finger grove grips. These were not Horton guns. They were in fact the first non PC line 8 shot offering from S&W. I think it debuted at SHOT in 2008. I'm not anywhere near the gun tonight so I can't speak to the number right now.

Why they didn't offer a tapered barrel version of this while they were still making "Mountain Guns" is completely beyond me. I'd be inline for an 8-shot 627MG if it ever happens.

 

[Chipperxd]

Another 627-5. Got some Ahrend grips for it now but don't have any pics with the new grips on it. I shoot okay with the boot grips but I hate having the pinky hang off when I shoot.

 

[75Vette]

I just returned from the range with a couple of my 629s and one of the guys stopped me on the way out. He said he saw I was a revolver guy and asked if I'd look at his brand new 8 shot 6" 686. He obviously wasn't a revolver shooter as he had 3 Glocks and a couple other bottom feeders on the bench. He was complaining that it felt too tight. He'd only put one cylinder downrange of factory ammo. I loaded 8 (felt strange) and knocked out the bullseye at 12 yards. It's been awhile since I'd shot 357 but man, that one felt sweet! I handed it back to him and told him to keep on shooting, that it would smooth out. He looked at me like I was crazy until I compared it to breaking in a 1911. I think maybe it registered, I don't know. I told him he'd bought a fine gun and to enjoy. If I didn't have such an addiction to the 44 caliber I'd be really tempted to grab one.

 

[Chipperxd]

686s come with 8 shots now? I thought it was only 627 that were 8 shots. Is this a new offering from SW?
