Reading Skeeter's articles influenced most of my handguns purchases, like my .32-20s, a few M19s, a M24-3, a M25-5, and a 5" M27.
Now this M27 didn't stay a .357 for very long after I bought it. I found a 1950 .44 Special barrel and had the cylinder rechambered. I carried it as a young sheriff's deputy and as a city cop. I later had it cut to 5" and reblued. It ain't for sale at any price.
