Chuke reviews the model 627 357 Magnum.
You’re getting on Garand Thumb level of production. Amazing.
Nice gun. Those seem to be very hard to find (model 627). I got lucky and got a Model 686 plus 7 shot PC. Enjoy.
Great revolver chukes Outdoors adventures. Will this be one to keep or will this go at some point ? I say this make for great gun on the hip load with 8 rd of 357mag while just out doing out side home stuff or something take camping with u or close home hike
I agree with Chuke, Its a neat looking gun but a little on the chunky side. Either longer barrel and owb or the 686 for carry.
That looks like a BLOODWORK 627. That Clint Eastwood used in that movie.
The Cylinder is bigger because its a N frame. Old 27 with only 6 shot have same diameter. The weight of the 686 with 3 inch is about the same as your 627 and the cylinder is only 3 mm wider. I think its more psychological then physical.
That is one sweet looking piece of hardware for sure.
Looks like he’s reading the script off the gun.
Love all your video and always have, but your revolver videos are something special.
It’s just lust that 8 shot 357 mag really makes a revolver more capable, what would be a good defensive bear load for the 357 mag if that was all you had , what would you use in a 357 chuke just out of interest , i would go with the 8 shot that’s just me 👍
What gun you shoot the best at should be the gun you carry for that situation.
8 shot man that’s a beast 😶
All revolver cylinders should be fluted… Is it me or do unfluted cylinders look cheap or fake?
I don’t care if your gun is safe. I’m positive you won’t shoot me through the screen.
I have this weird irrational preference for the 681 no dash no “M” 4” my dad gave me to replace my 66. It is something that suits a primitive technologically challenged cro magnon like me.
Pluses. Fixed sights, the adjustable S/W sights always seemed to over the top snag more than the hammer especially drawing from a leather holster. The ‘85 681 replaced my 66 that I carried in my SAR kit to the derision of those that did not comprehend the advantage of SS in a salt water environment.
Uses Common cheap speed loaders like HKS. Fast, smooth. Rides great in a Safari Shoulder rig or a Don Hume Jordan duty holster.
Minuses. Just 6 shots of 357 magnum. Probably won’t win any bullseye matches. Maybe too heavy for a girl. Needed a touch of nail polish on the front ramp to help accuracy out to 25yds.
Old technology.
I would totally carry that after putting some longer grips on it.
I think that 627 would be better in a chest or shoulder holster. I love a Smith & Wesson 586 in 4 inch barrel size. I just don’t want the stainless steel variant. I’ve had a 686 and would just rather have a blued version. Great Gun!
After months of searching for my 8 shot, smith and Wesson snub nose do to availability I purchased it for 1150 plus 350 for the crimson trace laser grips. I regret selling my 686 plus years ago due to it’s value going to 3X the purchase price. I expect my new 8 shot smith and Wesson performance center sñub nose to increase value to 3 to 5k since availability is scarce. I’m never going to sell my 8 shot smith and Wesson performance center sñub nose. I love it for it’s take down power, concealable, and able to your point across on the business end
Mr. Chuke I’m seriously looking at revolvers again since Glock can’t handle hard cast lead and S&W new 10mm can’t feed the heavy hard cast.
I don’t get it, why would anybody use moon clips with a straight wall case like a 357. I thought moon clips were for things like a 45 that had a recessed rim, to be able to use them in a revolver.
My 3" 629 is about like that I would get a K frame for carry in 357 / 38 ( not for bear bullets ) , more like 38 +P is best for a K frame .
N-frame vs L-frame. Bigger difference than you’d think…
Not a fan of 357 but wow Id totally pick that thing up.
I’m trying to decide between this 627 and th 686 performance center which holds 7 and has a 2.5" bbl. I think this video answers my question.
the gun for you is the s&w 686 performance center snubby 7 rounds
If you would just listen to Chuck and get it with a 10.75" barrel then you would have a great bear defense gun,but then again 8 shots of puny 357 would never be enough!
How about the Model 327 8 round s&w snubby?
The 627 is too pretty to be carried. That should be a desk gun or a safe queen.
686 plus deluxe all the way,
Nice gun but I gotta have a hammer so I can cock it I shoot much better and sometimes I need to.
8 shot .. definitely a winner 🏆
Only thing thst turn’s me off. Is using moon clips, 2 load❗Definitly a helluva gun 💯. I prefer speed loaders ✅
Im jealous,i have a taurus 608 357,hoping to buy a ruger redhawk 8 shot 357 soon.
Cool gun Chuke
You should probably try the gun out for Carry before you have a gunsmith bob the hammer lol. In all seriousness I love your videos! Keep up the hard work.
Bitchin revolver. I love the fringe models from all of the firearms manufacturers. Recently acquired a S&W model 69 combat
Holy crap! Talk about raw power! You could damn near power a street lamp with that! 👻
Both the 627 and 686+ are outstanding revolvers. For your use I agree with your assessment. The 686 fits your needs better. It would be my choice over the 627 as a carry weapon as well.
Great for bear and home defense✌🇺🇸
I would say for a fuller size revolver the 327 PUG nose is Probably the best. The 686 plus 3 inch is my favorite though.
I’ve tried both revolvers and the Performance Center trigger is a universe better in this comparison. There is no "almost as good". 627 for the trigger and the extra round. But yes, finding a good holster for it is not easy. I have one on the way from Craft Holsters. But we shall see…
I saw this 627 in the store today and started salivating, but stopped myself from buying to go do a little research. I too have the 3" 686 + 7 round and think it’s great. I’ll enjoy this 686 for a while. 👍 Thank for the honest review
Don’t see this as an edc gun. For chest carry in the woods or a home defense gun
686 Plus Deluxe, 3” barrel…It’s just a great gun! Seven rounds of hot 357, carry with 38+Ps, or plinking basic 38s! Beautiful, functional, and classic! Thanks, Chuke!
The Maniest Mo-Fo Made. I’ve carried this everyday for years and is only for real Men who like Manly ass shit. I love the weight as it dampens recoil to the point where I can get all 8 shots on target in just a few secs. Fully adjustable front and rear sights, Hair trigger, Moonclip or speedloader options, can fire .357 or .38 rounds. .38 rounds barley wiggle this monster during firing as it was designed for .44 magnum.
686 with 7 shots for me!!!!
How sweet is that!!
Having hammer bobbed , does it make for a quick draw?
I just had my cylinder for the 627 Performance Center chamfered by TK Customs for $100. Makes dropping in the full moon clips a breeze. Love this wheel gun!
Good looking revolver. It’s a work of art. Excellent caliber too! ☯️🎩♠️🏁
