Default Has anyone seen one of the current production 27’s ?

I am interested in these but haven’t seen one in person. They look good in the pics but I’ve become a little hesitant to order without seeing it first. I mainly want to avoid one with a huge cylinder gap (but still within their wide specs so I can’t get it fixed under warranty)

You are never going to know what the B/C gap of a specific revolver is until you measure the one you are planning on buying.

It makes no difference what any of us tell you ours is

I have bought 8 NEW Model 27s over the past ten years and never bothered to measure a B/C gap in 20+ years. The current nickel looks real good in person. I am not a big fan of nickel, but 3 of those 27s are nickel



If the revolvers shoot good, I do not go looking for problems

And I really like the current 4 screw frames

I got a used one that appeared to be unfired a few years ago, it was probably the best deal I ever got. Built well shoots very accurately.
