The Soup Nazi 0 Posted January 28, 2015 Back in the summer of 2013, when I finished my enlistment in the Corps I decided to buy my first revolver to celebrate. The dealer handed me a 686 SSR which I really liked, but he told me to hold off on the purchase and handed me a 627-5 PC. The concept of an N-framed, 5 inch, 8 shot .357 revolver which took moonclips and had a gold partridge sight was an immediate no brainer for me. I tried coming back another day for the 686 SSR, but alas, she was already gone. Still, the 627 is still one of my favorite wheel guns in my collection and both my friends and I often have trouble figuring out if we like this or my 4 inch Colt Python better.

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted January 28, 2015 Either the 627 you bought or the SSR are great guns. The 8-shot N-frames rule in USPSA revolver class - although an upper tier shooter can still be competitive with a 625. The SSR was made for the division of the same name in IDPA. There are active clubs for both discplines in the area. Shooters that compete with the 8-shot .357/.38's use shorter cartridges - ie: .38 Short Colt or .38 Long Colt (both shorter than .38 Spl.) - to facilitate faster loading. The moon clips also tend to be headstamp specific. If you don't already have one, I highly recommend a BMT tool to load and strip the clips - here's a link... http://www.bmtequipped.com/products.php I currently have 7 guns that use moon clips. I think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted January 28, 2015 ...and had a gold partridge sight was an immediate no brainer for me. What you have is a McGivern gold bead mounted on a patridge sight. McGivern's are mounted on the surface of the sight. A Call gold bead is recessed into the face of the blade and is flush. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeerSlayer 241 Posted January 29, 2015 why do you call yourself the soup nazi? I am sure there is an interesting story behind thatThat's an episode of Sinefeld you need to watch! "No soup for you!" Although "The face painter" episode (with Puddy) is still my all time favorite, being the devout Devils fan I am. "A Festivus for the rest of us" comes in at #3 for me. "The soup Nazi" Is my #2.
