Default Telephone shopping ends in Reno, NV

After spending considerable time on the phone with the Cabela's Gun Libraries at the different stores, I finally found one that had what I was looking for. They sent a few pictures via e-mail, and a few days later this one has a new home. Please forgive the reflections in the photography, I tried it indoors, but they were even worse. The gun came with the cardboard original box, complete documents, and tool kit. The case in these photos was one that I had Joe refurbish, and the liners got here a day before the gun.

Nice pics of a really nice gun. In my experience nickel is tough to photograph because of reflections...even in the best of light. Good stuff, thanks for sharing.

I agree with the other posters. This is a very nice .357 Magnum. They just don't come any nicer.
Thanks for posting so many pics from different angles. It really makes it seem like you have truly seen the gun when you've had all those different views.
Congrats on a great find.

It was a 4" Nickel 27-2 that started me down that very slippery 27 slope..

Great gun and great pictures..

ditrina, you probably don't remember, as it has been a while back, but you told me when I bought the first 27 that I should be careful about 27itis. You were 100% correct!
