Frequently Asked Questions
Taurus Tracker 627 for sale
Is the Taurus Tracker 627 a good gun?
Whether it's "good" depends on your needs. Shooters praise its accuracy, manageable recoil, and value at around $490. The seven-shot cylinder handles both .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P, making it useful for defense or hunting. Taurus revolvers have mixed reliability records, so check user feedback before buying.
How much does a Taurus 627 tracker cost?
Taurus Tracker 627 revolvers typically cost around $490 on our marketplace. Most listings fall between $445 and $541. Two variants are currently in stock across 21 retailers. Manufacturer MSRP sits near $625, but street prices run considerably lower.
Can Taurus 627 shoot 38 special?
Yes. The Taurus 627 chambers both .357 Magnum and .38 Special, including +P loads. Because .357 Magnum revolvers are built to handle the shorter .38 Special cartridge, both calibers fire safely from the same cylinder.
What frame is the Taurus Tracker 627?
The Taurus Tracker 627 uses a medium frame, which Taurus markets as their "Compact" frame. It is a seven-shot stainless steel revolver chambered in .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P.
What are common problems with Taurus revolvers?
Reported issues include cylinder chamber tolerance problems causing loose fit, transfer bar breakage in older models, and occasional misfires. Quality control has reportedly improved in recent years. Taurus offers warranty service for defects, though some users report recurring problems after repairs.
Can you put a red dot on a Taurus tracker?
Yes, but barrel length matters. Taurus states only the 6.5" barrel Tracker supports a red dot, not the 4" version. Taurus offers their own Direct Attachment MINI MICRO Red Dot Mount with a super low-profile .150" solution. Aftermarket options from Weigand and EGW also exist for compatible models.
What is the difference between Taurus 627 and 608?
The Taurus 608 holds eight rounds and uses a larger frame, while the 627 holds seven rounds on a medium frame, making it more compact. Both chamber .357 Magnum/.38 Special and operate double/single action in stainless steel. Choose based on capacity needs versus size preference.
