Description

There is something about an eight-shot N-frame that makes the usual six-gun feel like it is missing a couple of chambers. The Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 627 gives you eight rounds of .357 Magnum (or .38 Special +P when you want a softer session) in a stainless steel frame, cylinder, and 5-inch barrel. At around 44 ounces, it has the heft to soak up full-power magnum loads, and the 5-inch tube strikes a nice middle ground, long enough for a generous sight radius, short enough to stay lively in the hands.

What the Performance Center Does to the 627

This is not a standard production gun with a fancy rollmark. The Performance Center crew tunes the single and double action, fits a chrome teardrop hammer with a pinned sear, and installs a .312 chrome trigger with an overtravel stop. Ball detent lock-up and chamfered charge holes round out the package, the kind of details competition folks notice on the clock. The double action pull is one of the main reasons people buy this revolver and keep it. Up top you get a gold bead front sight paired with an adjustable rear, easy to pick up on paper or steel and simple to dial in for your preferred load.

Moon Clips, Grips, and Range Time with the Model 627

The cylinder is cut for moon clips and three come in the box, so reloads go from fiddly to fast. Loose rounds still work fine if you would rather load the old-fashioned way. Smith & Wesson also ships it with two grips, a checkered wood set for looks and a synthetic finger groove set for recoil control, so you can set it up for the range or the field without spending another dime.

The Model 627 has earned a loyal following among steel match competitors, target purists, and anyone who appreciates a big stainless wheelgun done right. The weight and balance tame recoil to the point that full-house 158 grain magnums feel downright manageable, and it will happily digest cases of .38 Special for cheap, grin-inducing practice. Backed by Smith & Wesson's lifetime service policy, this is a revolver built to outlast its owner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Performance Center 627 shoot .38 Special?

Yes. It is chambered for .357 Magnum and will also run .38 Special and .38 Special +P without any changes. A lot of owners practice with affordable .38s and save the magnums for hunting, defense, or when they just want the full experience.

Do I have to use moon clips with the Model 627?

No, moon clips are optional on this gun. The cylinder is cut for them and three come in the box, which makes reloads much faster for competition, but loose rounds load and extract normally. It is the best of both worlds.

What makes this different from a standard Smith & Wesson revolver?

Performance Center guns get extra hand-fitting and tuning at the factory. This 627 features a PC tuned single and double action, a chrome teardrop hammer with a pinned sear, a chrome trigger with an overtravel stop, ball detent lock-up, and chamfered charge holes. The result is a noticeably smoother trigger and tighter overall feel than standard production models.

Is the S&W 627 a good competition revolver?

It is one of the go-to choices for revolver divisions in action shooting sports. The 8-round cylinder, moon clip compatibility, tuned action, and adjustable sights check all the boxes, and the 5-inch barrel balances sight radius with handling speed. Plenty of folks also use it for target work and woods carry.
