1975/76 S&W 27-2 5" Barrel. Target Trigger, Target Sights, Target Stocks. This gun has been fired once or twice but very little. 97-99%. It's beautiful! Includes Mahogany display case, original tools, and original user guide and repair center card. The gun is pinned and recessed and has...

I own six Taurus pistols. Five of them have performed perfectly right out of the box. The sixth one was a Titanium .357 4" revolver. It had timing issues that in turn damaged the barrel. I returned it to Taurus and they replaced it with a new gun. It took them six months to make that...

Very nice looking revolvers!

Well, I just drooled all over my keyboard. What an absolutely beautiful piece of craftsmanship! Nice photo work also. Thanks for sharing.

If it's truly NIB that's a very good price.

Beautiful 27-2! I bought the older brother to yours N34XXX a few weeks ago. Now I want another one. Enjoy, they're great guns.

That's a very good looking 27! I shouldn't be looking at things like that. It's too close to Christmas. But, when January gets here I might just need to find one of those for myself! Very nice!

I am a fan of the High Gloss Blue. No one does this much anymore and admittedly the finish does take a back seat to the function of the gun. But, all things being equal, I"d take the High Gloss Blue over Matte Black any day.

Welcome! Like you, I just bought my first 27-2 a week or so ago. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Great gun!

Well I took her to the range this morning. All I can say is WOW! What a pleasure to shoot. The first three shots were all touching in a straight line left to right. I was shooting against a black bullseye and the black on black sights sort of melt right into the bull at 10 yards. The trigger...

I pronounce them "Smith & Wesson Standard Wood Grips" or just say G.A. for short.

Really nice looking shooter, and a great price to boot! Nice find.

Thanks y'all! I'm going to get it to the range before the end of the week, or at least try to. I'll let you know how it shoots!

I have not had much success with the Colt pistols. I do have a SW 3913 that I've carried off and on for about 10 years. It has never malfunctioned and the action is quite smooth. It conceals well also. Carry guns are a very personal thing. What works for one person doesn't work for some one...

Thanks for the welcome and the nice comments, y'all. I'm looking forward to shooting this one. I'm not a fan of safe queens, I like to use them as they were intended to be used. Besides, by the time I depart for greener pastures this gun isn't going to increase significantly enough in value...
