Is the 627 PC too big for carry? Not a good first revolver?

There's a couple -- which barrel length were you referring to?
Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? And ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?
I have one, bought from my buddies shop when it was traded in on something else. It's got a big cylinder... Never carried it as I never got a holster made for it but it shouldn't be any worse than carrying any other N frame. Beast is heavy tho... IIRC Darryl Bolke advocates for this gun or one similar as a car gun....IE big revolver stoked with .357 car killers tucked under the leg while driving for road shenanigans....

Are seven and eight shot revolvers generally considered too big for carry, or just eight shot ones?

I carry a 7 shot 586 L-comp, those are fine, albeit a bit on the large side. Doable with the right holster selection. The 8 shots are really big, the cylinder diameter is just huge, and I wouldn't really want to try and carry one. That being said, Smif makes a 627 PC with a 2.6 inch barrel that I've had in and out of my cart on a bunch of occasions.
What would you recommend for a fairly skinny member of the #AIWBMasterRace ?
