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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@PatRMG]

Thanks a ton! I really enjoy this one.

[@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!

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!).

Best thing that happened to my 627.

[@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.

@@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.

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.

[@daltonmegois4503]

Question. With the trigger being so “smooth” or lite, might you have problems with light primer strikes. I’m making no assumptions I’m just curious. I just bought my first carry pistol ( Smith and Wesson model 627 performance center^^) I’ll be running buffalo boat 180 grain as my self defense ammo. The trigger job looks amazing but I do worry that TK May be too lite? It comes with around a 12 pound trigger stock give or take a pound. But if I can safely take it down to 8 pounds it would be nice. Let me know

[@PatRMG]

I actually covered that in a later part in the video. Then, after the fact, I did find some Federal primers to help me with my lighter adjustment of the trigger.

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

@@PatRMG you can go almost as light as you want if you install a slightly longer firing pin. Even a light strike that goes deeper with a longer pin activates the primer reliably.

[@PatRMG]

Part of this TK Custom package is a longer firing pin.
