awesome as usual from S&W, light weight for its size. expected a smoother trigger but made the mistake of thinking this was a "pro shop" gun, but is great for the price.

Excellent service once again from Buds GunShop. Lightning fast shipping through, everything in the box as expected. No problems at all. For the 627- Pros: Great indexing, comfortable grip, crisp single-action, actually soft to shoot. Cons: Extremely Heavy Double action pull. Install a spring kit out of the box to get it down to around 9.5 lbs. Don't even waste your time trying to compete with a stock trigger. Great model that you won't regret buying.

I own a number of semi auto pistols but was wanting to add a revolver. I settled on the S&W Model 627 in 357 Magnum. Took it to the range this week and the gun shoots great. The sights were pretty close right out of the box. So far there is nothing that I don't like about it. It is very easy to shoot with 38 Special ammo and I will let my wife shoot it with that ammo. The 357 Magnum rounds are a bit more stout but not a problem with a gun that weighs over 40 ounces. I like the fact that it is an eight shot revolver.

Everything was fine with how Bud's handled the sale. Smith and Wesson however made a flawed product this time. The thumb release button will not open the cylinder. There is also a conical scratch that runs fully around the cylinder at the notches. Very sub-par performance for S&W. Now have to make arrangements to send it back to S&W for repairs since the firearm is incapable of being loaded. Never witnessed this issue with a revolver before by any manufacturer.

this is very nice - a large frame revolver - a little too big for carry and maybe a little too big for drawer gun. just my preference.

Excellent gun. 8 shots of 357 (or 38). Takes moon clips for faster reloads. Smooth trigger.

This is a very nice revolver. I was reluctant to spend this much for a gun but I decided to buy once a cry once. All the finishes are perfect. Barrel alignment is as good as it gets. I’m having some trouble with light primer strikes but it could be the ammo. If the problem persists, I’m sure S&W can tune it and correct the issue.

Nice revolver. Comfortable to shoot and functions well. Fine finish and quality construction. Quick change front sight is a plus.

Most accurate weapon out of the box, I have ever owned. Add the SW quality! Its a no brainer as to which 8 shot 357mag you should buy. Initially was looking to buy a Red Hawk, but nobody had them. Glad I didn't!

Awesome 8 shot .357 magnum revolver. Very accurate and such a pleasure to shoot. The more rounds through it the better the trigger gets. SA is a dream and the DA is smooth. The factory moonclips are very stiff, but a TKCustom loader and demooner tool did the trick. Don’t make the mistake I did of trying to hand load the factory ones. Or just get some SpeedBeez moonclips and those you can load/unload by hand. My single dislike is the stock grip. The backstrap isn’t covered which allows for palm sweat to work its way in there. Bottom line: buy this gun, get a holster and some moonclips, go to the range and fall in love with a revolver again.

Budsguns is Great regarding products, ordering and shipping. This wheel gun is very smooth. The trigger in single action is very smooth. The trigger in Double is also smooth with consistent break. Very accurate and easy to handle. Recoil is minor with magnum ammo. Highly recommend this great wheel gun.

Purchased this pistol after doing a lot of research on it. Buds was great as usual with quick shipping and no hassle 90 day layaway. When I received this revolver I was really impressed with the fit and finish. It also came with moon clips for loading eight rounds at one time. The trigger pull is smooth and the weight of the stainless steel frame is perfect for absorbing the recoil of the 357 magnum. If you are looking for a revolver to add to your collection and with hopes of someday passing it down to your children/grandchildren, then this is the way to go. Very happy with this purchase!

The S&W 627-6 has been on my checklist for a good while because of it being a bead blasted N-frame and an eight shot cylinder. The condition of the revolver looked new as expected and was received on the date indicated in the emailed I received. I have not fired the gun as of this posting.

i actually found this gun online for quite a bit less than what buds was asking. i asked for a price match, and buds came very close. once i added in the shipping cost of the other vendor, verses Bud's free shipping, Buds was a couple dollars less. very fast shipping once the electronic check payment went through, which took about a week.Could be a little quicker on that. very happy that the barrel wasn't canted. First thing that i look for, and the cylinder gap is .005. very smooth transaction. will purchase from Bud's again.

Excellent revolver! Bought this as a home defense weapon since I've found that pistols whose magazines are loaded but not used for long stretches of time tend to have feed problems because the magazine springs are compressed for so long. Revolvers don't have that problem. Having at least 8 rounds was a necessity for me in a home defense gun. This gun has a noticeably larger diameter cylinder which my arm catches on while walking, but since this gun will remain by my bedside I don't have a problem with that. The gun comes with 3 moonclips that are sometimes easy and sometimes hard to load. I found that using pinch nose pliers make the moonclips consistently easy to load.

I bought this 627 Pro as a 60th birthday present for myself and I am glad I did. First, Bud's had the lowest price on it I could find by a pretty good margin and I have bought from Bud's before on multiple occasions. The pistol shipped in a reasonable amount of time and when I received it and looked it over, I could tell right away that it had just been shot at the factory on every other charge hole by the powder marks on the cylinder. The barrel wasn't overclocked or anything like that and there were no big quality control problems with the pistol. In the 2 weeks or so that I've had it in my possession I've shot around 600 rounds through it from mild to wild and have nothing to complain about. After changing out the rebound slide spring to a 13 lb Wolff spring, the single action trigger pull is right on 3 lbs and the double action trigger pull is around 11.5 lbs and very smooth and with no stacking. If you are looking for an 8 shot 357 Magnum revolver, this nice pistol is a keeper. It doesn't have the outright beauty of a nice nickel or blue firearm, but it is one sweet shooting and accurate revolver. I just can't see spending $200+ more dollars for the 5" barrel PC version of this pistol as this one does come with a power rib mainspring and also uses the same front sight system as the 629 Classic series, which makes swapping the ramp sight for a patridge style site dead easy and quick.

This one is going to the grave with me. If you are looking for a rev with an awsome trigger out of the box this is it. Perfect 4in 8round solid lock up and great weight. Buds as always had this very hard to get beauty only for a short time. And i stumbled to get my checkbook to lock it in. 🔫🔫👍👍my wife and i will be on the range with this quickly. My only issue is with S&W. Can you please make the trigger and hammer out of stainless steel. Come on this gun would be a perfect 10 however aestheticallyit just does not look like a perfect 10. Take a look at ruger, they do it. Geeeeeeeezz😲😲😲😲😲😲

The Pro Series 627 revolver at this time is an immediate favorite in my revolver collection. I purchased this for local steel plate matches shooting .38 Special rounds, no intentions of shooting Magnums through it right now. It handles and points quick. All I did was replace the firing pin with an Apex competition pin and installed a 14lb. rebound spring. I shoot it at 8lb trigger pull using Federal match primers and ever one goes bang! Fit and finish, IMHO is better than the Performance Center guns coming off the line these days. This one may get a red dot for my older eyes but it's a great shooter with open sights, and even with my not so large hands I find it very comfortable. I really can't say enough about this revolver, I absolutely love it, highly recommended.

Gun arrived to my FFL very dirty but I inspected gun thouroughly and found no other problems with gun besides trigger and hammer already bluing in some areas but I can deal with that so I dont know if S&W sends it like that from their factory or Buds tests them on their range? So inspect your guns thouroughly before transfer. Got it home and cleaned it up and this thing looks awsome. Haven't fired it yet but I will get to in the next week or so but so far I am pleased, this things center of balance is awsome.

This is what I always wanted. An N frame 8 shot wheel gun! The pro series revolvers have one of the sweetest triggers and is easy to shoot full house magnum loads. Fit and finish is typical S&W. Very high quality with attention to detail. This is obviously a popular item because the price has just gone up since my purchase. As usual, A+++ for Bud's. Gun was shipped within 3 days to my FFL. I don't buy guns anywhere else. Gurney has handled all my transactions and I couldn't be happier. Give that guy a raise!!!

Awesome gun! Great weight and smooth trigger. The fit in my hand is unbelievable, also .357 mags fell tame compared to others I have shot. The only regret I had was using the E-Check, it delays shipping by 4 days. Waiting was like a new form of torture.
