when I got mine it had a satin stainless finish to it like grandmaster's but I polished it with auto and mag polish tilll it got that mirror finish

Anyone carry one? Is it feasible as a carry gun?

I've seen someone conceal a desert eagle in 50 ae so I suppose anything is possible, only problem is no one makes a holseter that fits the v-comp, atleast not the kind I have, so I had to get a custom shoulder holster made, I haven't tried concealing it but I suppose if I wore a lose fitting coat over it I could do it.

S&W manufactured the PC version of the 8 shot Model 627 in 357 Magnum and 38 Super. The 38 Super was from either one or two limited runs.

Alex45ACP,

Clint Eatwood's character in 'Bloodwork' carried a 2.5" 627 X8 from a special run for Camfour distributors, I believe. It is perhaps the most sought after, despite the Eastwood character's apparently poor marksmanship with same. Low production numbers and that movie made it a collectible. The pricey 327 snubby is a great piece for some, due to it's size. I have shot it... but my aversion to another Ti cylinder makes it a non-entity here. Still, nicely done - and not the miserable handfull feeling of a 340 with hot rounds - the N-frame, even lite weight, really helps. I had pondered the conversion of the Miculek PC 627 V-Comp I traded for last spring to a 'Bloodwork'-ish version - until I shot it with my wimpy .357M & .38 reloads - wow. Great revolver - and my only PC gun - a really great revolver, and I am fortunate to have traded for it.

eight shooter...

Another happy 627 owner here. Bought this one used and has become my favorite .357.

The PC made both a 3 inch and 5 inch barreld version of their 627 V-comp. The 3 inch bareled version was manufactured in a very small run.

 

[SnWnMe]

STOP! You're gunna make me...

I did!

But, since we have gun rationing here in Kali, I have to wait a month for the process to begin

 

[yongxingfreesty]

very nice but need some wood grips.

 

[Curare]

It would need more than that.

 

[yongxingfreesty]

what else does it need?

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

a 6 in the model number doesn't denote 357, because the 625 is a 45 acp, I think it is the frame type

Not sure, but I am waiting for the 12 shot anti-matter photon dispenser to come out.

A six as in 686 means stainless steel.
