My preference is the SB, but that's good work nonetheless.
AWESOME !
Question: the number "492"-was that a Police evidence number ?

I believe it was an officer badge #. Seller had taken in a "LOT" of police trade ins.

Would you mind if we called you Houdini from now on, because that transformation is nothing short of magic.
Great job, to you & your dad.

custom 357
Wow, Dan, I have looked over and over and I feel badly that you
will most likely NEVER sell it to me!!! I will pay shipping,too!
I didnt know your Dad had these talents and I wonder if he will adopt me and I can be your older brother.
Seriously, kudos and more kudos to both of you
Thanks for sharing

O.K., tell me the process of removing the "492" from each side. Was it filed to remove it or was it "filled in" with a weld of some kind?

I suspect the number was scratched into the blue and not deeply into the metal. Polishing a refinishing removed all trace of it.
Only troglodytes would crudely engrave a gun that way.

Nice job. On a carry/fighting gun, RB is a wining option.
wow, just wow. You brought that one back from the near brink of the S&W graveyard. Beautiful

Wow! That is a beautiful job! I'm not normally a fan of custom guns, but that one came out beautifully! Let me know if you would like to sell the square butt targets that were on your 27 when you started. I have a shooter-grade 4" 28 they'd look great on and you could recoup some of the cost of the work.

excellent project gun, something to share the memories with your dad and you.
Beautiful work...you and your Dad have great talent....thanks for sharing.....kk
Great gun! Y'all did excellent work. I'm sure if that gun could talk, it'd be thankful for being rescued and given a purpose again.
I've always thought that a 3.5 inch model 27 is about the coolest and most intimidating looking handgun ever. A friend of mine who retired from my department two years ago was the last officer to carry a revolver on duty, right up until the day he retired (model 686). He showed me the gun he carried on his first day of patrol, a 3.5 inch model 27

No argument from this guy. EVERYONE should own an N frame 357

That and a good 1911. I really think that the "Real Meat Eating American" status needs to involve and N frame Smith or Colt SAA (bonus for both) and an N frame Smith (with a bonus for the 3.5" 27)
.Additionally, the only guns that I would ever open carry are one of the above in high end leather.

Went to the range yesterday...nothing short of AMAZING. It handles full house .357s like .22s. This combo is my new favorite .357. Might just sell my 686 now....

And I'll bet the gun is far happier too.
