Hello, All.

I'm wanting to know if $825, total seems about right for this model. I haven't ever come across one of these and doubt I'll see another, any time soon.
No box, btw.

Does anyone have this particular model?
Seems like a good range gun.

Thanks for your input!

That is a GREAT price for a Smith and Wesson Model 627, product code 101024. If you are not going to take it, I will buy it

My example of product code 101024 happens to be the -1 engineering revision.

Even though the -0 engineering revision of product code 101024 is the most common it would be nice to have a second shooter
 
Thanks, guys...
I forgot to ask: Were these made beyond 1989-90?
This example bears the "Made in 1989" rollmark, SN BFP79XX.

It does not say "Made in 1989" on the firearm, it says "Model of 1989"

Product code 101024 was manufactured starting with the no dash variation whose earliest example appeared in 1987 and continuing on until the -2 engineering revision as late as the mid 1990s.

A total of 5276 examples of product code 101024 were manufactured. After the first 278 were produced Smith and Wesson discovered that the high mass of the unfluted cylinder was severely peening the cylinder's stop notches.

This is when S&W introduced the longer cylinder bolt and it was initiated at the -0 engineering revision.
 
I bought a 627-0 back in March for $899. Really clean, no box, Hogue rubber grip. $825 for one with combats is a spectacular deal. If I ran across it I'd buy it in a minute. The 627-0 is a great revolver, shooting .38 wadcutters in it feels like shooting a .22LR. It's become one of my favorite guns to shoot.
 
Great find! The 627 is a beautiful revolver.

Last month I snagged one at a gun show for $200, but it had a broken hammer pin/stud. It's currently at Smith being repaired under warranty. I am not sure how they can polish/blend the head of the pin with the frame without destroying the Smith & Wesson role mark, but I am sure they know what they're doing. It has the orginal combats, but no box.

Here are the before and after pictures:

Congratulations!! A great looking 627-0! It looks like the stop notches are crisp, hardly shot at all. Beautiful stocks, too. I love the looks of the combat stocks, but they are too big for my hand, and I have to shoot the Hogue rubber stocks.
