Customer Reviews for Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 627 Two-Tone 5" 357 Magnum Revolver

The muzzle break really helps tame this .357 cannon. My wife took this gun for her personal defense with the .38 caliber option. Bud's offered a great value for the money spent and excellent shipping service. The 5" barrel provides improved accuracy, I like the 8 round capacity, and is a joy to shoot.

This gun is beautiful and the Craftsmanship is flawless. I was a little wary purchasing this gun without being able to personally inspect it but I have been happy with all my prior purchases through Buds, including another Smith and wesson revolver, a. 44 magnum stealth hunter. The last four S&W revolvers I have purchased including the two from Buds have been perfect and I wouldn’t hesitate to order another from them.

VERY fine piece of workmanship. Smooth trigger in both DA and SA. I have many wheels and this ranks very highly

Was finally able to get to the range today to shoot the 627 v-comp. I will admit to my lack of experience and expertise, but after years of shooting semi auto’s I found that I have an affinity to revolvers dating back 15 years to the first time I fired a well loved Python. Over the last 9 months, I have been able to shoot more than a few 4”-6” revolvers and finally decided to get the v-comp. It did not disappoint. The trigger is wonderful lending to a very smooth pull in DA. 38 rounds are easy on the hand. While 357 rounds are a bit more snappy, the weight of the gun make them easy to manage. Very happy with my purchase, with Bud’s & my FFL.

This pistol is one of my best purchases to date. It’s what other pistols dream of becoming. A hack like me can shoot well and hit my target. The action is very smooth DA and beautiful SA. No flinch no miss. Love it.

This pistol is a representative of what the Performance Center at Smith & Wesson is capable of. Wow. I am impressed. I expected this revolver to be a sweetheart so it's not like a set the bar low. This thing is above and beyond. It's a mechanical beauty with a side of beast. The compensator works great to tame the hot n' heavy stuff but it comes with a non compensated muzzle cap if you prefer that or you're shooting in a division that doesn't allow for compensators. Also something to think about, if you buy a lesser pistol and do all the work yourself the value won't retain nearly as well as if you just pony up and buy one that's already been through the Performance Center and had the work done.

What's not to love? Smooth Performance Center action, a comp that tames magnums ( as if the heft of the gun weren't enough), 8 rounds, and it's just plain bad ass looking. 'Nuff said!

Shot revolver three times jammed up shaves bullets at top of barrel return to factory Will keep you posted steve

Not a bad revolver, but not worth the price. The compensator didn't do anything more than a regular ported barrel revolver. Very accurate.

Fantastic 357 magnum, one of the most accurate handguns I own. Craftsmanship is perfect if you get the chance to grab one of these do it you won't be disappointed it isn't cheap but the best never are. This is top of the line handgun.

Great firearm!!! Put this on my wish list 3 days later got an email from Bud's saying they had it, so I figured I better jump on it. 5 days later it was at my FFL. Very accurate handgun, and my gunsmith is sticking a 2x handgun scope on it for me. I was amazed and the craftsmanship of this firearm compared to my standard line S&W's. I have now ordered the one in 44mag. I can say the v-comp helps with muzzle flip, but if you shot it at night is still puts out quite the flash. As always Bud's has been great.

I placed the order on Tuesday afternoon and received the gun on Thursday. Absolutly outstanding service from Buds. Just took the gun to the range, fired 150 rounds through it. This firearm is truely a hand crafted masterpiece from the gunsmiths at the performance center at S&W. The trigger pull is absolutly perfect and the accuracy is dead on. I certainly will be doing more business with Bud's.

This pistol shipped quickly and was in excellent shape when i received it. Ordered os 07/06/11 & shot on o7/08/11 noe thats fast service. Thanks Buds. It now comes in a plastic case and rubber grips. It shoots like a dream.

Purchased this Smith & Wesson V-Comp Performance Center 357 V-8 I little while back. Wow the pictures don't do it justice... Great shooter 8 rounds, compensator, custom PC lockable aluminum case, wood custom grip's and Hogue rubber grips. This is a replacement for a Colt Python I used to own. This little revolver way out shoot's the Colt, and that one came out of their custom shop. I also have purchased a Smith & Wesson 1911 two tone out of the Performance Center from the guy's here at Bud's. Great service, Great prices, You guy's are the best and yes I will be coming back for more. Bill H California
