Love the pics of the 5"er! Juuust Greaaat! I was inspired by your photo of your gun, so phoned up S&W custom shop to order a 29 and 27 classic with 5" tubes and few other changes that they install on other model, was told nolonger making guns to order, well I sure was blown over, a company with a custom shop that does not do custom work unless it is shown for sale from there performance centre? Well all you guys with these holy grails just hit the jackpot as the only way to get one, is find an original, only making your guns more valuable! The 29 was going to be mine and the 27 was going to be my nephews grade 8 graduation present, well have to look for other options, again thanks for the great post, cheers Dale in Canada!
