[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 513415, member: 5391"] C&P of a post I did on another website: 12/24/08 [b]Okie-doky, I took the 627 out to day and put 200 rounds of 38 Specal through it. Fifty mid-range wadcutters, fifty of the standard velocity 38 158 gr SWC, and the rest were WWB from WallyWorld. The gun shot marvellously, which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone; after all it [i]is[/i] a Smith & Wesson. As I mentioned before, I took the Hogues off and put a set of Pachmayr Compacs on, and these were good except for one thing: the cartridge closest to the frame seemd to cartch on the grips and not eject 100% with out rotating the cylinder slightly to clear it and then it dropped free. Doing some work with a Dremel might be in order here. Recoil was quite mild, and the guns seems to be very accurate in my hands. I shot all of the rounds double action, at ranges of from three to seven uyards. The trigger pull is good and the action is smooth. I expect it to break in even better, No bench testing was done, but the gun like I said before, seems to be very accurate in my hands, even though at the close ranges that I shot it at, it seemed to shoot a trifle low. Would I recommend it for CCW? Frankly, no. And the reason has nothing to really do with the size. It is the lack of speedloaders that are available. And yes, I do know of the Maxfires. Besides there are many better carrry guns out there. Would it serve in this capaciity? Probably, and it might even do well. It would, I imagine, do quite well as a hunting sidearm In short, it's a great gun, but it is not for everybody. [/b] An addition, if I might. As I said in the above post, the Pachmayr Compacs tended to catch the cartridge closest to the frame and it did not eject cleanly, so I replaced them with the wood S&W finger-groove grips, but they did not permit the full use of the Maxfire speedloaders which as I understand it are the only speedloaders made for this particular model. So they were replaced with the Ahrends grips, and I am just starting to get the hang of using the Maxfires. I do wish that HKS or someone else would make something for this model as the maxfires are very awkward, especially at first. It is an eight-shot revolver. Does anyone know of any other speed loaders that are made for it? I am even thinking of sending it to the S&W perfomance center to have it machined for the full-moon clips. [/QUOTE]
