Mine will shoot under 2" at 50 yards (from a rest) with a wide variety of loads. Here's a small sample.

Got one nice 5" left. Yes I shoot it too!

Found one in the safe with a 5.5” bbl. a 625 PC. The picture was taken while I was sanding the grips to fit my hand better and the trigger guard has tape on it. This is the gun 505Gibbs had for sale from June till I bought it in November. He bumped it so much I bought it to quit seeing it . There is a 5” 27-2 down there also, Larry

I have posted this one before, but it is one of my favorite 27-2

 

[StrawHat]

Found it! A 5” Post War HD.

I have been sending some of my revolvers off in exchange for 45ACP revolvers but this one is still here.

Last outing I shot a bunch of the 358156 seated long in 38 Special cases, Skeeter’s load. The HD thrived on it!

Hey, what a way to spend a pleasant Sunday afternoon looking at all these beautiful firearms! Thank you so much for sharing. I wish I had photos of my long departed N frames to share but seeing all of yours brings a wide smile to my face.

 

[hkcavalier]

With the new H-D, thought I'd take a family photo. Yes, I know the 1917 is 5.5" but close enough

I never realized what a handsome revolver a 5" Model 27 is. Everything seems to be in proper proportion.

 

[Narragansett]

I have posted this before, but my one and only 5" is a M29-5 Classic DX with Culina American holly grips

 

[DARE]

I have a couple. .44HE, 2nd Model shipped in 1926 to Frank Gamblin, Deputy Sheriff, Potter Co, TX. .357 Magnum REG 657 shipped in 1935 to Potchernicks in San Antonio, TX. Owned by long time Texas lawman James C (Doc) White. Doc was a Texas Ranger, Austin policeman, Mounted US Customs Agent, US Army Intelligence officer in WWI, Prohibition Agent , and then had a 23 yr career as an FBI Agent.

Although we're still living in Canada, I'm 65 in just 3 months (although I look 33) and the wife and I will be moving back to Mexico for at least half the year very soon. I spent two and a half months there in the winter this year checking out the property and tracking down the various guns I had "in storage" in various frriends' safes around the State of Guanajuato. I took this photo of Phil Roettinger's NRM -- more to post to see if Lee was still paying attention -- while visiting the house of my friend who guards it along with several other revolvers of mine.

If you have not read up on it, I believe it's the second last of the Pre-War Magnums to leave the S&W plant before the shutdown of production having left the factory in 1942. There's a rather involved post about it here: Penultimate Pre Postwar Magnum is in Mexico!

I snapped that photo using my host's Cel-phone camera. I tend to carry only the cheapest Cel-phones possible. I'm not much into the technology wave. I took this other photo using my cheapie Cel phone while I was there of the guns (of mine) resting in that same safe: my old 4-inch Heavy Duty (perhaps my favorite revolver for actually shootin'), my 6-inch Model 28 that's remarked and registered as a Model 23, and the nice 4-inch 28 with the long, red factory ramp that's remarked and registered as well along with Phil's NRM. That last 4-inch 28 is in danger of having a 3.5 inch Model 27 barrel mounted on it that I have "in the shop" getting remarked as a .38 Special Ctg. to conform to Mexican law unless I find a beater Model 27 to register and mount it on in the near future. Since all this has to happen in Mexico, and I'm still mostly in Canada, it's somewhat inconvenient but things should improve this winter I hope.

I only have a couple 27-2s. The one on the left to look at and then one the right to shoot.
