I want a S&W 627, its an Smith & Wesson Performance Center 8 shot .357 magnum. I want the 5" barrel version. Has the same weight as your Model 629.

You get a performance center handgun at about the same or less of the price of the 460v. Holds more bullets, probably cheaper to shoot, easier to shoot. Personally I don't have to worry about being attacked by a bear enough to need a 460, your needs might be different.

They also make a 627 V-Comp that has a compensator, its a bit more costly.
