The 5" 27 has to be one of the most eye appealing S&Ws ever made... I have had three 27-2s in that length and just love the way they look. The last one I bought was badly pitted on the end of the barrel and most of the cylinder and was "changed" into a slim barrel .41 Magnum via reboring the barrel and replacement .41 Magnum cylinder. Would have loved to do a .41 Special with the original cylinder but was just too pitted to save...
A question as to barrel lengths... If during the 1947 to 57 period the "standard" barrel lengths were 3.5", 5", 6.5" and 8 3/8" which is more rare, a 6" or 6.5"?
