I bought a 627 yesterday and took it out to the range today. It felt good, and was accurate out of the box, BUT......
after the 3rd round, the cylinder started to bind. I swung the cylinder out and popped it back, and the rest fired fine. This was some light load 38 spls. Filled the cylinder again and same thing happened after the third round. After that, I tried some factory load 357 rounds. In each of the two cylinders full, after the third round, the cylinder bound up. Happened once more with one last load of 38s.
I took it back to the shop, and they offered to send it in. I would rather swap it out for a new one, or hopefully split the difference with them on a GP 100 they have. The guy thought the owner might, because of the hassle.
I have big doubts about going back to the Tracker, especially when it was bad right out of the box. I really want to like this gun, because I liked everything about it except the fact that it doesn't work right.
I'll see what tomorrow brings.
