I shot Smith for almost 40 years before I finally bought my first one...a 657...than found another...but sold one to a friend...
..had an unfired in the PC nickel also...
...but was too nice to shoot so I sold it...
But recently found another 1974 shooter....
Also have a 57 blue made in the 70s but no pics...
Bought this 27-2 a few years ago cheap...the dealer apologized as the original numbered to the gun grips had been replaced with an older set of "Targets"..so he discounted it to me...the "Targets" of couse ended up being Cokes... Put some correct for the period Magnas on and put the Cokes where they beloneged...on a 1964 4" 57....and sold the gun for more than I paid for it...
Last year found a nice 48 and a friend came up with a .22 LR cylinder...it shoots like a rifle with both rounds...
Fun guns....Bob
