[@Reepa008]

Does that 357 shoot hollow points???

[@JBJHonez]

@@Reepa008 yes. Pretty much every caliber out their has hollow points and pretty much all firearms will shoot hollow points

I have the tracker,best gun I ever fired[including the military].Half the price of the S&W and Ruger. What a great deal.

[@JBJHonez]

Yeah, I love em.

[@kendalchandler3357]

Kudos for showing the gripping technique. That is always helpful and not enough of these KZbin gun firearm review videos bring that up.

[@JBJHonez]

Thanks

[@cynicsupreme]

This is the best most practical review of this gun on KZbin. This thing really tames the 357 barely any muzzle flip. Thanks and well done!

Taurus revolvers are affordable and as good as most other higher priced. Taurus makes all their parts this ots cheaper than sourcing parts outside and paying more.

I cant wait till i take mine to the range , got mine in ATX for 450 bucks, planning on getting the galco switchback holster for it , i love these grips that it came with better than the ones with the horizontal lines, looks wayy better!!!

[@JBJHonez]

Cool

[@matthews.1968]

I think that you just sold me! Great video to see what it does between a .38 and a .357. The 7 rounds is really important to me. This would be my carry gun when my wife and I day hike in WA, ID, WY. Right now, I'm carrying my Colt .45 M1911A1 with +P when we hike...and I know that it isn't the best against a bear. Although I like Ruger, I just can't see spending $750 for a 5 round SP100 or $850-$900 for a GP100 that carries 6 when I can have this Taurus 627, 7 round for $459 pretax. I have a Taurus .38 for my daughter and a G3C 9mm for my son and they are just fine.

[@JBJHonez]

Anything is better than nothing but I wouldn’t wanna make a bear angry, I’d get a 44mag 4-5” to carry with some hard cast or solid copper rounds. But I know some can’t handle the 44 though. Thanks for stopping by and the comments, I really appreciate it. Stay safe out there

[@devinking6677]

I purchased a good holster for this firearm from liberty sports mfg. It came from fenton missouri via ebay or amazon. I cant remember. Its black with a velcro strap. Left or right side belt slots. Heavy on the belt so make sure to get a good belt. It also has 5 slots in the front of holster for additional cartridges. Only bad thing i recognized real quick was the rear sights catch it upon the draw. Easy fix with hard plastic clip i have clipped where the rear sights are. Best holster i found for this 627 4". Check it out bud

[@mikehutchison9589]

I inherited a 45 ACP Tracker from my Brother, love the pistol.

[@JBJHonez]

That’s cool. I haven’t seen one of those. I saw a 45acp the other day but forgot the brand, wasn’t Taurus though. Maybe charter arms

[@j.j.barbour2007]

[@bruceherin5729]

Good shooting. You have a good, steady, and stable hold. I'm no expert, but I've seen a lot of people shoot. Thanks for the review.

[@JBJHonez]

Thanks. I try.

[@kingelvis7035]

I love my 6.5" barrel Tracker. It is more accurate (or I am with it anyway) than my 6.5" barrel Ruger Blackhawk. It is my favorite of my pistols, and also the least expensive -$420 about 4 years ago. It has the 'ribber' grip, which I at first didn't like, but I think it does cushion felt recoil. Love revolver for ability to keep it loaded indefinitely for 'bedside' without ruining mag springs of automatic pistols.

[@JBJHonez]

Nice. I like mine as well. Not sure if the Ruger Blackhawk trigger can be staged or not, never shot one. For me, it helps with accuracy even when shooting moderately paced double action. I’m liking their grips as well, some seem a little narrow but anything is better than wood IMHO. I know I forget to mention fit, finish and such when doing unboxing or thoughts videos but I’m liking the Taurus revolvers a lot and for the price, they can’t be beat

[@eddiearchuleta615]

Mag springs don’t wear out from being fully loaded I hope you know that

[@tonyrebel63]

The longer the barrel the more accurate you will be. I have learned that over time. I have a 4 inch barrel and snubbies, which I use for conceal carry. To be honest I like to keep things simple.

[@JBJHonez]

@@tonyrebel63 yeah, a longer sight radius helps a good bit.

I found one of these yesterday while looking at gun broker. However, was able to get it from a local Taurus dealer with a discount of 5%. Lovely gun will be trying it at the range this weekend. Very good price at 499, but that is before the discount. The prices of these things keep rising with people getting worried about gun control.

[@JBJHonez]

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing

[@tonyrebel63]

@@JBJHonez Hey JB am back, lol got me the 608 2 weeks ago, and it performs like the 627 with one extra round in the chamber. I love how it operates right out of the box no issues with rounds getting stuck in the chamber after discharge like I have seen in some videos. I have had that happen with one of my snubby, but instead of waiting on Taurus, I simply took it to my local gun smith and he took care of it. Now it runs real nice.

I just picked up the same gun today can’t wait to try it out. How is the accuracy. I got it for mainly a woods gun for when I’m bow hunting. I thought the grips were really nice also. I’m mainly gonna shoot full power loads with h110.

[@JBJHonez]

Nice. It’s fairly accurate if you do you part. I highly suggest running a few cylinders through it just to make sure yours likes the ammo and is spot on for you Thanks for stopping by and watching

[@mkshffr4936]

I have been looking at these but I think I might like the new Rossis better as they have a proper hammer block slide action and non-ported barrel even though it has one less round.

[@JBJHonez]

Yeah, I’ve got one in 44mag. It’s fun to shoot, but not a lot. I haven’t messed with any from the 80s

[@BigMarkSr]

Good video. I love the hollow point shot. Because I have a couple needs for a revolver, I just got this gun last week. I took it out to shoot for the first time and really liked the feel. I was shooting at 10 to 15 yards, I was able to keep a decent group using shot 158gr .38 special rounds with almost no recoil. I'm guessing the ported barrel helped with that. My problem is after 100 rounds the coating they put on it looks stained from carbon. I tried to clean it with a couple solutions with no luck. I would rather have this in polished stainless or just black. Any suggestions on cleaning because I'm already wanting to sell this gun.

[@JBJHonez]

Thanks. I just use hopps 9 after each range trip. It doesn’t look close to new but gets a good bit off. I also try to remember to put a light coat on it before the range trips. I’ve got a blued one that isn’t ported that I’ll be doing a video on this week and then one comparing the ported to non-ported after that.

[@lynnvandevander262]

Birch wood Casey makes a “Lead Remove” cloth that easily removes the powder stains from in front of the stainless steel revolver cylinders. Also, Flitz Metal Polish removes the stains but with more “elbow grease” involved. Good luck buddy!

[@adamb2619]

Wish I could find one!

[@JBJHonez]

I’ve seen some online.

[@keithplymale2374]

The porting does appear to reduce apparent recoil. I have had a 6 inch barrel GP-100 since the mid 1990's. I eventually had to put a Houge monopod wood grip on it to keep the trigger guard from hitting the finger behind it. Makes the recoil so controllable my older hands can single fire it both strong and weak hand. I wonder if this revolver would take that same grip? I am looking at Taurus for new revolvers.

[@JBJHonez]

Taurus is very close to S&W as far as compatibility. I’ve used some smitty parts in various Taurus’. I’ve got a lot of other vids of me shooting revolvers as well if you wanna check them out. I’ve got some gp100s as well and love them. I hate the ones with the trigger that hits my finger. A buddy has a couple and I don’t even like shooting 38/357 with those

[@keithplymale2374]

@@JBJHonez It only started hitting my finger after I got older and my hands got weaker.

[@nickpaulo5202]

How’s the recoil? Is it like the 6 inch ported Taurus tracker? 357? Or less

[@JBJHonez]

Feels about the same to me.

[@danv102918]

Can I ask you did that grip come with that specific gun? All the other trackers I have seen have the ribbed grip and I love that one in yours but can’t find it anywhere.

[@JBJHonez]

It’s the one that came with it. I’ve got some with the ribbed grip as well

[@danv102918]

[@SWMissouriOutdoors]

I'd like to see the 627 vs 66 video. I'm torn between the two. What difference in sound level was there with the ports, do they help with the recoil that much having shot both of them?

[@JBJHonez]

I don’t notice the sound but I do notice less muzzle rise with the ported one. After shooting a s&w460 and 500, not even a 44mag bothers me anymore. I’m trying to find time to do the 627vs66 video

[@SWMissouriOutdoors]

@@JBJHonez Much appreciated, the recoil doesnt bother me on my old 669 Taurus .357, I think I'm gonna go with the 66 w/o ports. Another thing I dont know if was ever tested is velocity loss between ported and not in a 4" barrel.

[@robleblanc1571]

[@kennethbrantley9582]

How far accuracy does its power arm have? Do you think this gun in a 6-inch would do that much better? I am strongly considering this firearm.

[@JBJHonez]

I don’t get what you mean by your first question. A 6 inch would add some velocity. Longer sights radius can help with accuracy. As far as accuracy goes, that depends on the shooter, gun and if it’s had loads specifically loaded for it. Each gun is different as well as shooters. Thanks for stopping by and watching

[@kenwingo4862]

4 inch is plenty good.
