Is the S&W 627 really worth $1,400, or does a classic 5-shot .38 Special revolver still make more sense for carry? In this video, we compare the big 8-shot .357 Magnum N-frame revolver to a smaller carry-style wheel gun and talk trigger pull, size, capacity, recoil, concealment, and real-world use. The 627 gives you more rounds and a smoother feel, but it also brings more weight, more bulk, and fewer holster options. If you’ve ever wondered whether an 8-shot revolver is worth it over a simple .38 carry gun, this is the comparison you need to see.
