3 1/2 " Model 27

Also speaking of ca exemptions, you can convert any s&w to single action by removing the double action sear and as long as the barrel is 3 inches and the oal is 7.5 it is legal to import into ca. The trick is getting people to do the conversions out of state for you.

Bushy...

Trade hammers and triggers or get another set. Sheeesh!!!

Mike,

If you're in CA law enforcement, you can buy any gun out of CA, on the list or not, and have it to a CA dealer/FFL holder. After you've owned it for at least one year, it becomes a perfectly legal CA gun and can be transferred from you to any other private party within the state. There's a similar exemption for members of the military.

Oh yes. Been buying and selling guns for 25 years here. Have had a weapons business and FFL for all that time too.

Lots of nice 27's here. I only have one 27, it's a -2

I also have only one. I traded a NIB Model 60 and $200 cash to an advanced collector for this "cast off." Joe

I finally found my "27"............hunted for a long time.

MFG in 1954, 5 screw, blue, 3.5" I'd say 97%.......it's the top of my collection

Congratulations!

I love resurrected threads!

Mike Grasso, did you ever find yours?

I don't know why, but that little, missing half inch really gives the Model 27 something the 4 inchers and longer don't have. Kind of a "less is more" sort of thing.

I spent several years trying to find a nice 3.5" and a 5". Last summer in the same month I found an all original 96%-98% 5 screw pre 3.5" for $700 and a similar condition 5" original nickle 27 no dash for $475. It was almost depressing for it to be over that quickly.

I to now have the 3.5 and 5 inch guns and love them both and have very nice culina grips and Herrett grips on them both and enjoy shooting them both......

My meager 27-2 collection

The 5 inch is unfired and complete with presentation box and paper

The 6 in is pristine and has a double stamped model number 27-22, the 2s overlap.

The 3.5 does not have 3Ts, I think it is because of the barrel length, the big target grips will look out of place on a short barrel.

Just realized this post was started in 2011. The prices stated in them are long gone. These start around $900 and go up from there particularly in CA.

Happy Holidays

Never could find a "shooter" 3-1/2" 27.
Did have a cheap 8-3/8" one that never shot well.
Happened on a 3-1/2" barrel and the marriage proceeded:

For me, service stocks are just better on these guns.

Agree, the target grips, hammer and trigger look out of place on short barrel guns.
Happy holidays
