REVOLVER
Taurus Tracker 627 Revolver is a modern design classic made by the Brazilian gun manufacturer, Taurus International. This powerhouse of a handgun was launched in 2012 as the latest and most powerful iteration of their time-tested Tracker series of handguns. Created with the serious handgun enthusiast in mind, the Tracker 627 is a full-frame revolver designed for maximum accuracy and reliability. It's also an ideal choice for hunting, recreation, home defense, and professional use.
As I examined the Tracker 627, I was immediately taken with its sleek, modern design. The frame is made of a high-strength alloy that has been precision machined and heat- treated to give it incredible stability and durability. The matte black finish is attractive and provides an even look that also helps resist corrosion. Additionally, the rubber grips have a gratifying feel in the hand, providing a natural and secure grip while also helping to absorb some of the recoil.
The standout feature of the Tracker 627 is its 6-round .357 Magnum cylinder. The cylinder holds six rounds of heavy .357 Magnum ammunition, giving the 627 more power than its predecessors in the Tracker series. Along with the .357 Magnum, the 627 is also capable of chambering .38 Special. Taurus also includes moon clips with the revolver, allowing for faster reloads and improved accuracy. The cylinder is equipped with an innovative, titanium-coated, stainless steel crane with an adjustable trigger stop, allowing shooters to adjust the trigger for a lighter, smoother pull.
The Tracker 627 is a double-action revolver, which means the trigger pull propelling the cylinder forward is the same for each shot. This allows for a consistent, crisp break in the trigger pull for every round as well as quick follow-up shots if needed. The trigger pull can also be adjusted with the use of shims, allowing for a wide range of pull weights to tailor the shot to the shooter’s preference.
The 627 is equipped with adjustable iron sights for precision accuracy. The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation while the front sight is adjustable as well for windage. This makes it easy to fine-tune your shots for distance and accuracy. The open sights are clear and easy to acquire, and the bright white sights also stand out in low light conditions.
The Tracker 627 is also incredibly reliable. The cylinder resists binding, and the cylinder lock up is securely and reliably maintained by the powerful locking bolt system. The revolver has an added level of durability from its full-length guide rods. These guides reduce felt recoil and improve accuracy, allowing for longer strings of fire when shooting quickly.
One of my favorite features of the 627 is the presence of two extractor rods, one on each side of the revolver. It’s rare to find a revolver with extractor rods on both sides, and I really appreciate the practicality and versatility of having them. This allows the shooter to quickly reload from either side of the revolver, and makes clearing malfunctions easier as well.
The Tracker 627 is also equipped with Taurus’ Transfer Bar Safety system, a passive safety system designed to reduce the odds of accidental discharges. The Transfer Bar Safety is engaged when the trigger is released, preventing the cylinder from being turned without manually moving it. This safety system is a fantastic addition that further enhances the 627’s already formidable level of safety.
In my experience, the Tracker 627 is an incredibly well-made revolver. The attention to detail and quality of construction is evident in every aspect of the gun, from the smooth, glass-smooth action to the tight tolerances in the construction of the frame. It was a pleasure to shoot my Tracker 627, and it is no wonder why it has become so popular among serious handgun enthusiasts.
In conclusion, the Taurus Tracker 627 is an excellent handgun for serious handgun enthusiasts, perfect for shooters looking for maximum accuracy and reliability in a package that that is both pleasing to the eye and ergonomically sound. The added features such as adjustable sights, double extractor rods, and the reliable Transfer Bar Safety system make the Tracker 627 an ideal choice for home defense, hunting, and other professional applications. I highly recommend the Tracker 627 to anyone looking for a modern, reliable and powerful revolver for self-defense or recreation.
