revoman Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I might be wrong but I don't think they are cut for moon clips. Other than that a good trigger job and having it cut for moon clips it would be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revoman Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I stand corrected it should be already cut for moon clips. Maybe the only real difference is the barrel length and a few other minor things between the PC and the Pro. With the cost difference between the two you can get a really nice trigger job done.

toothguy Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I really hope that Smith and Wesson remakes the 27-7 6.5'' 8 shot. I think only 100 were made. I saw one that Mike Carmoney's son had and it's perfect for USPSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Nothing is wrong with the 627 Pro Series. The only problem is that the 4" barrel is not optimal. Edited October 18, 2013 by Carmoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Nothing is wrong with the 627 Pro Series. The only problem is that the 4" barrel is not optimal. ? Velocity? Weight? Sight radius? Won't stabilize bullets? These are for shooting Minor, right...so guessing the velocity and weight wouldn't be much of an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have been thinking of picking up some 627 Pro's to replace my 627 PC's for ICORE Open Division. That would free up the 5" guns for iron sights in USPSA and let me put red dots on the short guns for ICORE. That should negate the lesser sight radius of the Pro series guns. Accuracy at 50 yards would be the only concern otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Sight radius...is this about right? http://www.gunnuts.net/2013/09/28/sight-radius-comparison/ (speaking in Glock) If so, a 5in Revo would have a sight radius about like a Glock 17? A 4in Revo would have a sight radius about like a Glock 19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 For sight radius on a S&W revolver add 2" to barrel length. That will be a close estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlamphere Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Just getting into the Revo game. Can you get a 6 shot cylinder for the 627 and change it out with the 8 shot? Something tells me the timing would not be right, but I know nothing about these guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4in Revo would have a sight radius about like a Glock 19? yes, sight radius. I think most shooters prefer the balance of the 5"guns. BUT, I think it matters less shooting minor.

coordinator Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 jlamphere, I recently asked if the 627 could be changed from 6 to 8 shot. I was informed, by those that know, yes it can be done but it's cost prohibitive. In additon, I was told the frames are sized differently for the two cylinder variations, so it's not feasible but can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRodriguez Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 you can't convert a 6 shot N-frame to a 8 shot. (Not without a bunch of machine work, $) The 8 shot frame is bored offset higher than the 6 shot frame. If I get the chance, I'll pull the barrel off of one of my 6 and 8 shots so you can see what is actually going on the two frames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRodriguez Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 here are the pics of the two N-frames the 627 is on the left and the 625 on the right. on the bottom pic, you can see where the 627 barrell is cut to clear the frame when it is scred in.

jlamphere Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I thought they would be different, but not that different. Thanks for the details and for taking the trouble to get the pictures. Really informative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubber Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 John, is this Charlies P. design? Gene would offset the bore in the barrel. Setting the barrel off center the amount needed and cut the back part and then thread the barrel. But he had to make the barrels from a barrel blank. It is a lot of work either way you go and just plain easier to get 627 or 327, if one can be found. later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polymerfeelsweirdman Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Just getting into the Revo game. Can you get a 6 shot cylinder for the 627 and change it out with the 8 shot? Something tells me the timing would not be right, but I know nothing about these guns. I don't think this works on the 627 the 686 might be able to go from 6 to 7 shot but the earlier 6 shot 627's should have different frames than the current 8 shot ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&W627shooter Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Nothing is wrong with the 627 Pro Series. The only problem is that the 4" barrel is not optimal. ? Velocity? Weight? Sight radius? Won't stabilize bullets? These are for shooting Minor, right...so guessing the velocity and weight wouldn't be much of an issue? I would say that the sight radius is the problem with the 4". ICORE and USPSA have some demanding shots that require a little more precision. In IDPA, a 1" barrel would be fine. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevolverJockey Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I know the 627 9mm has been rumored about for years, but imagine they actually existed, would this be the setup to have? I assumed the tapered case and higher pressures would make them sticky on extraction and I have not seen many reloads that didn't seem to hourglass at least a little bit working the brass with every reload. There is a lot of chatter over on the Smith forum and there have been more than a couple vendors lately hinting at them as I have been ordering clips etc for my new Super.

revoman Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 If we are wishing early for Christmas why not a 10 shot 327 on an X frame with a slab barrel 6 1/2" just like the first run of 6 1/2" 627's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
