Beautiful 27 thread

[kdailey]

Sweet revolver

Thank you Sir, always good to hear from a fellow Arkansan.

Ok, here's a 4" 27-2 that I have owned for over twenty years. I don't
have very many pics of it but I'll follow your lead with an outdoor one.

Nice picture and very nice 27.

Original 27-2 from 1970 . . .

 

[bshepherd]

Pictures aren't great but here is a 4-inch Nickel and a Long Tube Blue.

 

[weatherby]

I only have the one

My 27-2 5" 1978 and 28-2 6" 1979-80

27-2, 8 3/8" factory engraved and a 6" . I got the 6" new in 1972. Went into a gun shop and asked for a .357 Magnum, and that is what was put on the counter. My first handgun.

Pre 27,5"bbl shipped Feb.1958.

Two Pre 27, 6 1/2" bbl. The one with the Red Ramp was factory refinished in 1973.

Nice to see such a collection of 27's! This was my first handgun, bought in mid 70's and carried on duty. 27-2 6" with pachmayr grips. TT, TH.

 

[arminius]

Great pictures all. Even greater 27s. Can you imagine everyone of us in a line engaging targets with our 27s at the same time? Now that would be impressive. Kind of like a Camp Perry of 27s......

 

[MDMarauder]

WOW!! Nice photos everyone...

Here is 5" model 27-2, shipped May 1973, as it came from the factory. I bought it new in June, 1973, and it still remains as it came from the factory.

Now that is perfection. Especially since you have had it since 6/73. Your children will fight over that one

While I admit a preference for the appearance of the 5" variants in particular, I think I will have to have a jealous fit and hate all of you.

 

[rags]

Ok. Here are mine...

27-2 3 1/2" (July 1977)

27-2 5" (January 1979)

27-2 5" (May 1974)

27-2 8 3/8" (July 1975)

Doug, I understand where you are coming from. These guys make me sick.

I have a great idea. Let's redistribute the wealth, beginning with S&W Model 27's. We just want to make everything fair, and everyone have an equal opportunity, Right?

 

[MP22]

Great thread.....love all the pics....thanks everyone for sharing.

 

[Allen in MT]

I'll add my $265.00 27-2 8 3/8

 

[feralmerril]

I bought this 5" new around 1970. It had no options. I sent it back to the company and got all options plus my name engraved in gold.

 

[Krusr]

I think I'm having a spirtual moment looking back over this thread and all the great revolvers pictured.


Forgive me,

Are your initials B.O.?

 

[SixgunFife]

It was a thread not unlike this one that got me started down the road of tracking down a 27.

 

[mkk41]

Ain't no beauty queen or safe queen , but my 5in 27-2 with smooth rosewoods is a shooter.

Shown here keeping it's older HP brother company.

S&W 27-2

Gentlemen:

I've just lucked out, able to purchase a lightly used 27-2 from an estate, and I only knew enough about it that I shouldn't let it get away. It currently has a Pachmayr grip- that just won't do. Nickel finish, 3.5" barrel.

How can I trace the manufacture date? I see so many photos of beautiful pieces with gorgeous grips- who makes them for this gun?

I'm a newbie to the group and look forward to learning more about this revolver- I don't know whether to shoot it and enjoy it, or lock it up in the gunsafe...

Howdy turnerriver,
Is the lower gun a 27-2? The open ejector rod is like none I've ever seen, but there is lots I've never seen.
I have one with a none serrated back strap so oddities are out there.
Thanks
Mike
