You know, I thought for a long time that I'd never own a Reg Mag. Then, one day forces aligned just right and I became an RM owner. So, as they say with S&W "never say never". Is it better than a 27-2? Dunno, I had to trade my 27-2 off to get the RM. In my hand my mind says it just feels better. Maybe that's just aura left from the lawman who carried it 70+ years ago. My grandfather was a judge in the same town as that lawman so maybe they crossed paths in the day.

But, to the other point, yes, a 3.5" 27 is still a work of art and should never be disrespected or trifled with. Enjoy it!
