Hey guys,

 

Just waiting for my permit. Looking to get my first all metal handgun. I know they are different but curious if anyone has the Smith in south jersey. I'd love to shoot one before I buy.

 

I've wanted a 1911 for a long time, thinking about the colt Xse government.

 

So colt xse or sw 627 pc?

I`d go for the 1911, you can still get 15Rd mags for it.

6 rnds vs 8 rnds, faster reload , slimmer, more comfortable carry around the house

The 627 holds the same 8 rounds.

The 627 holds the same 8 rounds.

Well, to be precise, it holds 8 much better rounds.

I love me some revos. However, I would go for the 1911.

 

I brought my 9mm revolver and my 9mm 1911 to the range yesterday. The 1911 is just stoopid accurate. It makes me look like a hero.

 

Good luck with whatever you decide.

They really are completely different. I love Smith Revolvers.   What length were you thinking?

Dont be blaming the inaccuracy of shots on the gun.       

Wheel guns are cool but 1911s are cooler

Ummmm... Why not? Isn't that how it works?

Simple solution. Get 2 permits.

I guess one way to answer the question is with another question - what is your first gun?  If revo get 1911, if not get the revo.  My $.02

What else do you have?

I have a glock 19. As far as the length on the revolver it's the performance center model. 8 shots of 357 mag, smooth cylinder, 2.65 length barrel.

1911, hands down.  However, it's your money.

8 shots of 357 mag, smooth cylinder, 2.65 length barrel.

 

while a snub nose N-Frame is a pretty bad ass gun, as your *first* revolver - I'd recommend a 4 or 5 inch 627, it'll be more pleasurable to shoot and more "practical" here in NJ as far as CCW laws go. 

Better solution. Get 3 permits an add a Beretta M9 to the lineup.

Cool gun. 4 or 5 inch for a range toy makes more sense to me. I'd opt for a full size 1911 first. Only problem is you might get spoiled by that single action trigger.

627-5 PC is a great all around handgun.  8 round capacity has a "surprise factor" for a revolver if the other guy is counting (same capacity as a 1911), 357 or 38 special.  5 inch barrel and performance center action is phenomenal.  It is great for targets and home defense.  Revolvers also don't jam, stovepipe or FTE. I love mine!!!

You need both. Get whichever you get a better deal on first. I just got a 627pc. Pretty sick gun. I got one after i got a trr8. After you get one 1911 you will want others so it doesnt really matter

Just got this in if interested
