I looked at a 27-2 today that was in excellent condition. Here are the details. Ser.# S254XXX(I only remember the first three numbers), 5" barrel, blue finish. Asking price is $700. Can anyone give me an approximate manufacture date?
With all respect to Mr. Iggy, I think $700.00 is better than a "pretty good price."
O/P, if ya can grab it, then post pictures.

I like .357 in classical N frame. I had a 8 & 3/8" before this one. It was iron sight accurate to 75 yards within 4" per group of 5-6 shots. This one has a too high front patridge blade sight that needs to be filed lower and I haven't gotten around to doing that. I hate altering guns and sending them back to the factory. You never know what comes back at you when you say the porterhouse steak is too rare....cooks do things back there if you insult them.
Don't file it down. Just send the complete rear sight assembly back to Smith and they'll replace the rear sight slide with a lower one. A simple fix.

Chip, I kinda figured you might have a 5" just waiting to show off. Happy New Year. Sadly I made the mistake of parting with 5" M-27 several years ago.
Back atcha, Yeah, I bought that one and a 3 1/2" the same day.
Since then I've added two more 3 1/2"s Trouble is I ain't got but two hands.
I sure hope that one the OP is lookin' at is still there.
Those 5 inch guns just feel right in your hand. You would get a lot of good shootin' out of that one.
