They had been an option since about 1952. Started showing up regularly in the early 80s.

Optional since the early 1950s, and I would have guessed that it became standard in 1975 when they made the target hammer, trigger and stocks standard but based on my 1977 27-2 apparently that would be incorrect.

I don't recall seeing a RR/WO on any Mod. 27-2 that wasn't a special order. That goes for those shipped in the blue box or the presentation cases. They and the Mod. 25's were the only "premium N frames" not being shipped standard with those features, as were the Mods. 28 and 58. Standard sights for the 27's were Baughman or Patridge front sights. Patridge for the Mod. 25's...
Waiting to be corrected...
