The Slickest Smith & Wesson: TK Custom 627 Performance Center

My Smith & Wesson Performance Center 627 just got a MAJOR improvement! It recieved a full action job and now sports several mods to enhance my range experience tremendously!

[@Yoda052]

I recently bought a 929 S&W and after one fun range session, sent it to TK Custom for the “Ultimate Trigger” upgrade… got it back today. Absolutely night and day difference. New trigger, hammer, rebound slide & springs, new hand, and of course, the “Hillary hole” is now gone. Beautiful cylinder chamfer, smooth fast trigger. I’ve had several custom projects with some taking YEARS to finish (from gunsmiths with long backlogs) so a 30 day wait for this was nothing. Eli is a talented gunsmith. Let me say… this work was worth every penny. You will never gain so much performance in a firearm as a good action job on an excellent quality revolver. Now I’ve got to decide if my 627 goes next or maybe send my GP-100 to be converted to shoot 38 Super. So many toys and so little time. Thanks for the excellent video.

[@MattP-BandB]

Dang! That trigger is something else, not from this world. Well done Pat.

[@PatRMG]

Super slick. I can't wait to reduce the trigger pull even more when I start using Federal primers.

[@MattP-BandB]

@@PatRMG That would convince me to leave any of my semi pistols in the safe. Have a fantastic day man.

[@PatRMG]

Have an awesome day yourself!

[@StrictlyPlinking]

I love that you have wheel guns on your channel. Classy and classic. 👍🏼 That chamfer/beveling on that part of the cylinder is genius!

[@PatRMG]

That chamfer is something else. Made a huge difference.

[@ChukesOutdoorAdventures]

Beautiful! Man, what a revolver. Good job.

[@PatRMG]

Thanks Chuke! I'm digging it.

[@jamespugh]

"Chuke is that you " just had to man . Seen ur sks video awsome.

[@frankwright5528]

Thanks for the great review. TK Custom is a renowned source for excellence in revolvers. (God's chosen recreational shooting system!) I've known Tom for over 25 years and own several revolvers which have been graced by his expertise. What he and Eli can't do for a revolver probably isn't worth having done! None of mine have had his full treatment; even so, they are greatly improved over factory. None of mine are 'competition, but are built for 'duty' use. (I'm unwilling to give up single action and need to be able to crush whatever primer rotates under the firing pin.) Their accoutrements are the finest. Congratulations on your fine acquisition and most enjoyable review. Pax

[@PatRMG]

I don't know how such an awesome comment slipped by me. I definitely like this one. Glad I sent it to TK. I just ordered and installed their J Frame spring kit in my model 60 and put a new set of stocks on it. Can't wait to try it out! Thanks for watching!

Much agreed! Do understand that you had me cracking up yesterday.

[@tomjones7285]

Every bit as nice as you said. And that gas ⛽ pedal cylinder release is awesome buddy. RMG speaking the truth

[@PatRMG]

That cylinder release and bobbed hammer changed up the look completely.

[@cannedheat33]

A Cadillac of a revolver! Nice idea with that ammo box too👍👏

[@PatRMG]

I'm loving the whole setup. I need a devoted range bag to tote it all around in.

[@redesert_boy8202]

Very nice quality updates to make everything from trigger pull, to cylinder release, to reloading smoother and more finely tuned. Fine outcome Mr. Pat! Yep, I need to get some of those TK Custom tools for my Performance Center 686. Thanks for demonstrating the tools again. (Primers are like Jackalopes and Snipes out west here - not seen recently!).

[@PatRMG]

I managed to find 1k primers Saturday. I can turn this trigger down now. 😁

[@Jyllyfish]

Just finished my paperwork on a 627, saw your original video on it and decided to browse the channel. Great stuff, but I saw this. Now I know what's next on the docket :)

[@PatRMG]

Enjoy that 627!

[@stevemellgard6393]

Beautiful. I'm getting ready to send my S&W model 69 44 to TK. Already have many mods into it including porting done by Magnaport. Just added the extended cylinder release from TK and was looking into machining the cylinder for moon clips. Thanks for the input. That's one fine revolver.

[@PatRMG]

Thanks for watching!

[@redneckgreen7777]

That trigger is super cool! I’ve never seen a trigger that smooth on a revolver

[@PatRMG]

It's definitely slick.

[@R4MT1]

Man that moon clip slipping in was outstanding. Really nice one right there for sure. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@PatRMG]

Dude, I dig it! Thanks R4!

[@sifakuahuia8576]

Probably not the hammer spur replacement, but everything else the trigger, cylinder release, and champfering is something I'm looking into for my Performance Center 627-5. Thank you for the video sir, excellent stuff🤙

[@mountainhobo]

Sending a Performance Center to a custom gunsmith to make it work smoothly is a sad statement on the Performance Center.

[@PatRMG]

A Performance center is still good, but this is better. 😁

[@steveblack5952]

I would agree

[@mitchellnelms7572]

[@Choppipappi17]

Just sent my 686 off to TKC. After seeing this Im much more excited to get it back. You should did an update video! I’d love to see you shoot it more.

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

Gotta love some upgrades. I like swapping my trigger return springs out from stock to 12 pounders. That alone improves trigger pulls significantly without dropping hammer force at all. Runs me about six bucks and really improves any S&W stock triggers. Obviously you’ve had lots of quality professional work done and I’m not knocking that one bit. I’m just suggesting maybe swap out your return spring on your 327 just to see the difference if you haven’t tried that before. I’ll reimburse you the six bucks if you don’t like it.

[@PatRMG]

I'll keep that in mind. I've got a couple other Smiths that need a lighter trigger.

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

@@PatRMG I only mentioned it because of how easy and effective it was to do, not at all because I think I know more than anyone else, likely quite contrary. Love your channel.

That S&W may be the sweetest one I've ever seen especially with that trigger!

Great Video, I prefer this over any automatic. I would like to carry this exact one with it’s improvements, and lowered trigger pull force now that I found some federal primers. This will go well with my S&W 17-8 ten shot revolver and PerformanceCenter 41

[@charliesierra6919]

Need more chamfer. Niece piece. I have the shorter barreled version. I love my semi-autos but carry a revolver and the eight-shot option is, as much as I hate the overused term, a game-changer.

The Thunder Ranch Performance Center sat at my LGS for months. I wanted it so badly, but was sinking money into a project house. Something about 45acp in a wheelgun sounds nice.

[@csc150man]

@@PatRMG I have several...a 25, a 25 Jovino (super rare), a 22, a 1917, and the 625. The 625 sees the most use. It's fun gun and I, too, love the star clips. The Lee factory crimp die really makes a difference in ease of chambering with .45 ACP revolver shooting. Accuracy load is a mid-range load of Unique with a cast 230 gr roundnose bullet.

[@PatRMG]

Kinda off topic... I loaded some 44 special with Unique. A buddy unfamiliar with powders fired one and said, "That smells unique." I literally fell over.

[@ianroberts5683]

i wish TK would have more customization options for their trigger jobs. i would like to get the same trigger job you have, but i would like a hammer with the option to do SA as well. i only see on their site the option to do the DA only hammer on that trigger job
