Hello, I am trying to find out when this S&W model 27-5 was made or any information about the model. I can't find anything about the model even existing. Serial BPZ29xx. Thanks for any info you can give. rchrd53.

How do you know where the point of aim is if your sights are crooked? This is not a trivial problem. It makes aiming very difficult. It is unacceptable in my opinion. I've seen in on two Colts and probably three S&W's. It needs to be fixed if you have any sense of accuracy.

I've looked to 4 different dealers. They all have the S&W M&P Sport with the 1-9" twist only. This is an entirely different barrel than the 5R- 1-18" twist barrel. They both have the same SKU#: 811037. Is there any way of getting a 5R-1-18" barrel in the Sport? Thanks, Rich Hayes
