Default Nickel 3.5" M27-2

I got around taking taking some better pictures of a few guns. It's so hard to get good pictures of nickel guns and this 27-2 is one of my grail guns that I wanted to try to get better pictures of.

I love the checkering on the top strap of the model 27's. It's really a thing of beauty. I sure do miss the quality of yesterdays guns.

Very nicely done !

Bright indirect lighting works best for me ! The most difficult part is making sure your own reflection is not part of the photo !

Your gun is really awesome and your pictures are also. That is one of my grail guns too! I hope to find one with the presentation case eventually.

Great photo layout of a wonderful revolver. I think a clean and polished nickel revolver is about a beautiful as they get.

I have always prefered nickle to blue on short barreled guns. The 3.5" Nicle M-27 may be one of the most beautiful guns ever made. One day I hope to stumble upon one.

1blindref,

You owe me a new iPhone as I have ruined my current one by drooling on it while looking at pictures of your revolver. Please send payment via Paypal or certified money order....

Seriously - that is one beautiful piece of old world craftsmanship.

That is the first nickel firearm I actually like! It is definitely not a nickel plated sissy-pistol.

Yes it does, but no target hammer or grips. Strange.
