Eight shots (8)? Or Six shots (6)?
Really what's the diff?

for me it's not about the money. First off I just like 'em. If I would come up with a pratical use it would be for a night house gun. 8 shots and I don't have to give a thought to anything jamming or not feeding right. But bottom line is like I said I just like 'em!
I am sorry to hear that you reserve your sixth shot for suicide. I can not imagine thinking like that.
I own the 27th 8 shot, 357 Magnum S&W ever produced. It is a one owner gun that I have had for close to two decades now. I did not buy it because I thought it would be collectible. I pre-ordered it because it was a fine quality firearm and I like the thought of an 8 shooter. Yes, I have carried my 8 shot n-frames.
Clearly you have never shot one. There is probably no easy way to explain this to you. But I will try
If we look at cars.
If you only want to go 55 MPH and 0-60 in 30 seconds is OK for you, then there is no reason to buy a Chevy Monte Carlo SS when you can have a Ford Pinto for less money. Both can be used to drive you and your significant other around.
It is not the rarity of the Monte Carlo SS that made you buy it. You were not a collector. Was it worth paying the extra dollars over a Ford Pinto?
Sometimes Nicer is just Nicer to have

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Even though this thread was started over 3 years ago and previous post was over 2 years ago, I still enjoy it due to me having #24 of the 4" -7 version.
There's a 4" 27-7 on GB that relisted last PM due to reserve not met. The ending bid was at $2500. Who knows what it'll take to buy it?
Hey tnb, in your pic, are those the original grips that came with your -7?

Congrats on being the first post on hating on something as awesome as an 8 shot revolver. you must be a blast at parties.
A couple have come up on gunbroker but I can't seem to bid high enough.

I bought the first (and only) 27-7 I saw for sale in October, 2000. I wanted a 4 incher but the 6-1/2 inch barrel was all the dealer got in.
It is still unfired. I have had an offer outstanding to trade it for a 4 incher in the same condition. Plenty of offers to outright buy the 6-1/2 inch gun from me but no trades have arisen.
I am patient.
Yes, a Model 627 Mountain Gun would make a lot of people happy.

I passed up a 4-inch one on gunbroker today that went for $1695 and am kicking myself. I hesitated because it was without the case and the rear sight blade had been changed to night sights. I think I missed a good deal. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/648556844

At least you wouldn't feel bad about shooting that one. I still haven't fired mine. It's just too nice to turn into a "range gun".. (-:}
I know, that was on the pluses side.
As you prolly know, there's another 4" -7 on GB that's been re-listed several times with reserve not met yet. No telling what it'll take to buy it?
I'm watching it for some time now just to see what mine might be worth as it's similar with shipping box, PC case, docs, etc...
I've seen bids as high as $2500 with reserve not being met. Lotsa $$$ but they don't come up for sale very often.

A little late to the party, but I have a 6.5"er (number 38). The fit and finish on mine is very nice - not quite pre-war quality, but still very nice.

I've been watching that one as well and also saw it approach 3 grand. They originally listed it without the case and I asked about it, and they said they would look for it and send it later if I was the winner. They apparently found it since then.
Since posting this months ago, that particular revolver was taken off gunbroker unsold. I've noticed it's back again and is still unsold after a few rounds of auctions. It's been bid as high as $2500 and not reached its reserve price. It'll be interesting to see if the reserve is ever met or is it stays unsold. Since the last time it was on sale two other 4 inch 27-7s have been sold and went for around $2000 each.
