S&W 627 2.65" barrel

[BJones]

Just picked up my new snubbie. S&W 627 Moon Clip 357 mag. This thing is a great shooter, easy to handle and dead on accurtate. Shot 100 rounds yesterday, alot more comfy to shoot than a J Frame, of course it a whole lot bigger.

That is a sexy beast!

Nice!

Now invest in some LeadAway cloth!

 

[Bosshoss]

Nice gun. Always wanted one of those or one of the Scandium/Ti guns.
So many guns so little money

Beautiful piece, and what a great weekend to sling some wheel gun lead!

Be careful with lead-away cloth, it will rub the bead-blast finish off. I've had decent luck with Flitz Bore Cleaner and a stiff nylon brush, but even that over time will polish the bead blast finish.

I had my 2.75" S&W 66 out this weekend as well, finally got around to trying some 158gr .357 through it, and like you, was not disappointed. Great to see some revolver love posts!

The more I shoot revolvers the better I like them. I have shot my 4" 627 in USPSA and it is tons of fun!!!

Very nice. Love the look of the unfluted cylinder.

Something about a ss smith that catches my eye. Plum sexy.

It's the new 66-8 with 2.75" barrel. I think it started hitting the streets in April/May of this year, so it hasn't been out very long. It's the one gun I have been pining for since S&W announced its release on their website back before Thanksgiving of last year.

1. Well said!

I do have a advantage though. I work on revolvers(action jobs and repairs on some of them) and I get to handle, fondle, and some times even shoot a lot of them and helps make up for not owning them.

You guys are killing me with those beautiful guns!

That looks huge compared to my 615. Is that an "N" Frame?

1. Now that is my idea of WOW!!!

Thanks, it's a surprisingly mild shooter even with 357. But I bet that 627PC BJones has really soaks up the recoil... it's a chunky little beast, it must be a flame-throwing hoot with 357! Jones - we can't be that far apart. We should get some pics of you working out some warm 357 loads at dusk. Should be even better than my profile pic, which is a 3" 686+ with 357 in the cylinder.

Yes, that is an N Frame. It does soak up the recoil. I haven't fired any 357's but the +P 38 spl has very tolerable recoil.
