Outstanding display of the all time classic revolver.
Wells now, that's a nice round number... 
Had an uncle that like those little Browning 22 in Grade III configeration...
Think he wound up with about that many as well.
A feller got to have sumkinda ambition ain't he?
Nice collection there Sal,
Su Amigo,
Dave

The n-frame fanatics claims had eluded me until I decided to get a 27.
Come to realize it's the flattest shooting, best looking, and an easy favorite of the revolvers I've owned.
Great guns Ditrina.

Wow! Check out that prop rod! Sal, if Dick keeps forcing you to buy those 27's, you're going to need a bigger safe!

Now if they were all Mod 29's.
That would be Heaven...
Just kidding Sal, that is one NICE Collection.
The Mod 27 is THE Classic S&W Revolver.
Even a Mod 29/Mod 25 [in 45 ACP] freek like me should be able to admit that.
I have had a couple of Mod 27's in the past.
I am almost "ashamed", I do not have one now.
The 3 1/2" would be my favorite.
I think that is the best "Looking" S&W revolver ever made.

Sal, that is an incredible array of Smiths finest. I finally got to see that "longsnouted" one at the tail end. Fine assemblage you have my man.

Sal:
Very nice collection! I see 3.5", 4", 5", 6" and 8.375" (how can you have only one long tube 27?), BUT I do not see any 6.5" 27's.
Did I just miss the 6.5"?
Congratulations on the collection!

Holy ****! NEVER have seen so many 27's together in my lifetime. Congrats! I love my 3.5" 27-2. Would post it but would pale in comparison to your collection.
Very nice indeed. And your address in Central Fl. is ? I'm from Clearwater.

I'm almost sure I read in the BATFE regulations a series of federal laws about hoarding handguns. And one of them might have been specifically discussing M27s.
However your collection is just one short of breaking the law..............

The missing one!
Hey Sal
The one you are missing looks like this!
Now I know why I can't find a 3 1/2" for my buddy! Those Ivory targets belong on the nickel guns!
I haven't forgot about your hinges, I just haven't had time to order some for myself yet!
