Just wasting time in the gunshop earlier today and took the oportunity to check out some of the new stuff coming out of the Performance Center. I asked the salesman for a closer look at the 629 V-Comp. He handed it to me while making some sales pitch comment about Smiths having the best trigger on the market. With the idea that the trigger pull of this $900 in-house custom gun would make my 686 with its spring kit trigger job and a very minor smoothing by a local gunsmith feel like crap, I dry fired it. Boy oh boy was I wrong. I can say without question, thats the worst trigger on a modern DA revolver I have ever felt. It was overly heavy, grainy, inconsistant, and had tons of stack. A box stock Ruger or Taurus trigger pull beat it hands down. They had a Beee-utiful Blued PC Model 27, 8 Shot .357 Magnum in the case, so I asked to see it...thinking maybe the 629 was just a dud. Well, I can't tell you how they compare because the 27 wouldn't rotate the cylinder! The trigger pulled, the hammer raised and droped, but the cylinder just sat there.
Ok..whats the deal Smith and Wesson? These are revolvers that would leave barely enough change for a nice dinner out of a $1,000 bill, not $60 LEO confiscation trade-ins.
