I bought the 66 but wish now I would have bought the 27-2 he had. I would post a few pics if I knew how.
Wow, I want to live in your town! A mint 66-2 snubby for $350, really...?! I would have snapped that up in a second! A mint nickel 27-2 for $650; good stuff. That said, congratulations, and you picked 'em how I would have picked them. I always consider condition first.

I own a 28-2, a 686, and three 27-2s. Given the same condition, I'd chose the 28 over the 686 (and I really like the 686...). For the same price and condition, it's a no-brainer to choose the 27-2 over the 28-2, but in your case, the 27-2 sounds like it was just in shooter-grade condition, so I think you chose wisely. Still a good deal on the 27, but the 28 sounds nicer. Just keep your eye out for a nice 27, it'll come your way...

Again, congrats, and enjoy!
