I have a 5" 627 Smith and Wesson that I have never shot well. Always suspected the gun as I am a decent shot with the rest of my hand guns. Following advice on here, I finally had a chance to take it out and shoot 3 shot groups from each chamber.
At 7 yards, 7 of the 8 chambers grouped well, but only 4 of 8 put the group at point of aim. 2 chambers were an inch high and one was an inch left.
The last one was a little high left but won't group at all. 2" + spread. Tried several times, could not get it to group. Lockup is the same as the rest of the chambers.
This was my first revolver and was a birthday gift so I won't get rid of it. Is there anyway to make it shoot better? Would Taylor throating help? Get a new cylinder fitted?
Suggestions?
