Thanks

The 27-2 started off as a poorly finished non collectable gun. It was the platform for a 44 special.

The barrel was from the 29 pictured with a custom slab sided barrel now owned by another forum member. The barrel was a full lug silhouette and I had Andy cut it to my specs just under 4'. It is drilled for and I have a rail that screw on under the barrel for accessories but I never use it

The cylinder was line bored to 44 and locks in place with a ball detent

Front sight is a Weigand with interchangeable blades, the rear sight is a Weigand blade replacement to maintain checkering nice flat aiming surface.

Gun is tuned to a slick double action pull and a light sight single action.

All re blued.

Finished with Kurac grips.

It is a very compact comfortable to carry well balanced 44. The gun below it is a 3 screw 357 converted to 44 the Smith in my opinion is just as compact and handy
