Greetings, all.
I sold all my handguns, including revolvers. I'm wanting to get one handgun for general purpose, including self defense, and I love revolvers and shoot them better.
I like the idea of an 8 shot .357 magnum revolver. I've been looking into the S&W 627 with the 4" or 5" barrel.
I only hesitate because I've been reading about widespread quality control issues with current production S&W revolvers. Canted barrels, out of time, chipped crowns, etc. Bad quality control, even with Performance Center models. Can anyone soothe my concerns about this?
Also, assuming the quality control of the weapon is good, this is a newer model with slightly different specs than the 6 shot 627, isn't it? Is this a well proven weapon that I can stake my life on?
Are there any prelock, pre-mim 8 shot 627's? Maybe those have better quality control. Money is no object, so I'm willing to pay the extra for it.
