Why the coolest?? Reasons have to include that the 8.375" tapered barrels are sooo S W E E T !













The pre-27's are pretty cool as well...





They make a great canvas for engraving:









Even the well-used shooter grade ones are still way cool...



... and the pre-war 357 "grandparents" of the Model 27 (what can you say...)










... and that's just a few reasons to collect the long ones.
