You got the best of the best. The 5” barrel is my favorite length in a 27. I two five inch 27s. One with the standard trigger and hammer and the other one is 3Ts. The standard trigger is a better choice for double action work which is what I use for most of my shooting. Enjoy shooting THE classic .357!

Beautiful gun for sure. I’m jealous. Any birth year gun for me would be a “Pre-model”.

I have a 5" 27-2 that I love. Yours is more purdy than mine.

Jeez, 50 sounds pretty old, but I graduated from HS the year before that gun was made.  That's a beautiful revolver, the 5" barrel looks perfect. I've got a really nice one with a 6" barrel, from 1977.
Where in NC are you? I'm in the foothills about 45 miles NW of Charlotte.

Absolutely beautiful! I've been watching for a 5" Model 27 for some time, but they keep eluding me. Enjoy!

I bought this 27-2 last year and it is fun to shoot and accurate. It was shipped on October 8, 1968. Click on the photo for a better look.

Keith Brown magnas & a Heiser holster.
The 5” model 27 seems to be universally admired.

As an all-around performer for most uses of a revolver, there is little that a 5" M27 will not do adequately well.
