Almost too pretty to shoot
But not quite -- 1977-78 27-2 is a shooter all the way
First day at the range was great!
Balance was perfect and target grips fit my relatively small hands.
Loaded with .357’s it’s a show stopper as well as a man stopper.

I agree, but I wouldn't fault you either way. I wish I had a 27

Has a couple of speckles near the cylinder release, no box, and late 70's instead of late 50's, making it a shooter.

27-2 3.5"
Very nice 3.5" 27 indeed! Just got a blue one myself, last week. I love the nickel guns the best. Congrats on that beauty!

Very nice.
IMHO...
After the Colt SAA the S&W model 27 w/a 3.5 inch barrel
is the best looking handgun on the planet.

Yes, I agree, almost too pretty to shoot but S&W revolvers were made to be shot. Enjoy it!

Yessir! That's a beauty! If there ever was a pic that should be a front page for this board. This is it.

^^^Thanks
But keep in mind that this gun is a shooter and it is arguably not as nice as those made in the 50's and 60's

Very nice! All guns are shooters. How else do you know they work?
