Model 27 Picture Thread
I find the Model 27 to be the best looking of the S&W revolvers because of the top strap checkering. I'm sure I'm not alone in this because the 27 seems to have a large following in the collector and shooter ranks. I love the Model 29 for looks and shooting but for pure beauty it's the Model 27 that grabs my eye.
Let's show them in a picture thread.
Nickel Model 27-2 with 5 inch barrel
Model 27-2 with 6 inch barrel
Nickel Model 27-2 4 inch barrel
Model 27-2 3.5 inch barrel
Nickel 27-2 with 6 inch barrel
Model 27-2 with 5 inch barrel
Model 27-2 8 3/8 barrel

Very nice examples,that top strap checkering is a distinctive feature of
the 27 for sure. I like the tapered barrel also. Blue/nickel---they all look
good. Pete

Here is my '68 27-2. It is my favorite Smith, except for the caliber. I like a bigger bore, but this one is accurate, and balances perfectly. I also prefer the tapered barrel and 5" length.

I love em all in any barrel length!!!! Great pics and 27's gents. Art, your's are absolutely beautiful and as always great pictures. My next S&W will be a nickel 3.5" or 4" to match my blued 3.5" 'r.
Bad pic but here's mine. It's a great shooting revolver and is not in pristine condition, but I still love it.
Driheat, that beater 27 looks like it needs to go! I'd never have that ugly of a S&W in my safe. Please give me a yell when you're ready to sell. My blued 27 saw it and fell in love with it. NICE Pair!!!

Here are a dozen .357 Magnums, mostly pre 27’s, and one Model 27, all with 3½” barrels and all in their correct Gold boxes. For a variety of reasons I no longer all of them but I still have most of them.

Just a shooter, but a nice one! 27-2 6" with Herrett's custom stocks. One of a growing number of 27s in the safe.
Or how about a 27-3 5"? Again, just a shooter...

The 27s are obviously the S&W "flagship" guns and threads like this one prove it. I'll add a picture too.....
