The Model 27 Appreciation Thread - Let's show 'em

[dutcher987]

I have done many searches on the forum and there is a lot of posts on the Model 27.... but I could not find a central post that includes history, info, and what we all like to see...PICTURES.

I will start with my 27-2. 3-1/2" barrel. It is new and unfired. Pinned and recessed. Born between 68-69. It has to be one of the prettiest and coolest revolvers out there. But that is just my humble opinion.

Enjoy...

I guess this is technically not qualified, it is a Pre-27.

Here is one I bought used in 1968 for $150 from a co-worker at that time. It was manufactured about 1957. It still shoots very well, and is like an old friend at this point, after owning it for 40 years.

WOW! I do like how this thread has grown. Thanks for the awesome pictures. I can't get enough of just looking at these fine pistols.

Keep them coming, if there are more.

I've got a handful of 27s but this pre-27 5" 5 screw is my all time favorite revolver.

[armybass]

[Bullseye Smith]

I have two of them, one old and one new:

[big50_1]

'75 27-2, the last gun that will go from my safe.

[Ron H.]

Sir, here's my one lone 27, a dash-2 from the early '70s.


It's got a very nice trigger--makes accurate DA shooting easy.


Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

Ron H.

Where can I find grips like those?? I have the Magna? stock grips on mine,too small, I like the looks of those like on the mod 29. what other larger grips will fit on mine? It's a mod 28 but same frame as a #27...any suggestions? Thanx, AJ

I have seen nice wood grips on eBay and other auction sites. You will just have to keep an eye open.

I too like the diamond grips on my 27-2 and I have done some research and have found that those are coveted by many. Especially if they are also coke grips. If you do find some, don't be surprised if you see them going for as high as $200. But, I am sure that there are deals out there.

Good luck.

27-2 8 3/8" w/smooth targets. Wasn't shot until I did this summer.
