One in my small LEO collection is this Florida Highway Patrol 5 inch in nickel. It’s a fabulous shooter.

KB, those grips on your blue gun are spectacular.

I've owned this 5" 27-2 shipped in 1975 for about 5 years and I've yet to
put a single round thru it.

I hate to follow rubiranch with my 27-2 but here goes. Solid shooter grade gun.

Here are my two. Left is yet to have it's trigger pulled after the factory, right is my "shooter."

3-27's

The 5 inch 27-2 on right. 6 inch 27-2 center. 6 1/2 inch 27-1 on left. Tough to beat a 27.

Yep, a lot of really nice 27-2, 5 inchers hear. Mr. Keith Brown's artistry shines through with his.

These two -2s will be on my tables this weekend in Jefferson. They have been inched out by the 5 screw variations in my collection. I can't keep them all, though I would like to.

Nice find! It was research on a 5" mod 27 that led me to this forum back in 2004. A buddy needed a set of tires and offered me his 27-2 5" in presentation box for $500. My message box blew up with emails asking for 2nds if I passed. Of course I bought it - still have it and am addicted to 5" Smiths in general.

Sure, you can keep them all!

5” 27 is as good as it gets. They are cheaper if you buy them in
pairs.
