One of my first S&W acquisitions is a decent shooter grade "Pre-27" S&W .357 Magnum, blue, with 6.5" barrel shipped in 1952. Be forewarned: You will not be satisfied with just one.
That's a good idea. A nice Pre 27 is a great gun. Truth be told, unless you really notice the difference between long action and short action, I'm not too sure you'd be able to tell the difference at the range.
