Cadillac of my meager collection

[jframe]

Haven't posted here in a long time; life and other hobbies have gotten in the way somewhat. But I have been eyeing this thing in a shop not terribly far from me for a few months now, so I pulled the trigger and bought my first 27-2. Has the three T's, and all paperwork in the bottom of the presentation case, which is still nicely flocked. Has the N serial prefix and I.place the date prolly between 1974-1978. I have wanted one for years, and just couldn't let this go. Puts me up to 5 nickel Smiths; not on purpose, really, they just seem to find me. This gun os just everyrhing that is classic Smith & Wesson to me. Appears unfired with a very slight turn ring. However, I hope to change that if ammo pricing ever settles down. Not shooting it is to me like not driving my '65 Riviera. Didn't wait all those years to let it sit in the garage, and this gun needs to be fired and just loved. Just wanted to show it off a bit.

I'm in the all guns need to be fired and loved camp.

I've been around a long time but every so often something new pops up. I had a guy the other day try to explain Netspeak to me, like OTOH, LMK, IIRC, among others, and I laughed at him. I said we used those terms on the Internet when he was in diapers.

But today you got me - diamonds have 4 Cs. Jeff Cooper's alertness rules are 4. But the three Ts for your gun. You got me there and it's probably VERY obvious.

Help me out please!

You seriously don't know what the Three-T's are in the S&W Forum when talking revolvers? I honestly do not believe you, this sounds like a trap.

Target trigger, target hammer, target stocks.

That's a beauty and I hope it shoots well also. I, myself, am for sure NOT a member of the "all guns get shot" group, but that's okay.

Now that's nice!

So far I have resisted the temptation to shoot one of my NIB Smiths, but the it's a losing fight, lol.
You have a really beautiful revolver there, OP! And don't worry, your collection will grow, and grow...

Congrats 5 nickle revolvers doesn't sound like a meager collection. Extremely nice purchase.

It is EXACTLY that revolver! Been to Madison from Florence at least 3 times in six months, and got tired of it looking lonely down there all by itself. My 4 inch nickel 19-4 and 2 inch nickel 15-3 came from the store on.Memorial Parkway last year.

Pictures don't do it justice. I happened to be in the shop today when jframe bought it. Very nice, enjoy it!

 

[wvs&w]

My that's a beauty for sure, shoot it and enjoy it.

Seeing as how this is a north Alabama centered post, I couldn't help but reply! Just curious, which store in Madison did you find this beauty? And for certain, it is a fine revolver. Great buy.

Nicely done.

Larry's out on I565 has had it gor a pretty good bit. May have paid too much but they don't seem to be getting cheaper.

That's an awesome Cadillac you have there.




Here's my Cadillac, a 1960 6.5" M27.
No box, no papers (other than a letter of authenticity) no nothing.
Just the Cokes that I added and the trigger shoe that everyone hates. LOL

I have guns worth more money but this one's my favorite.

I had a handful of Safe Queens that were either un-fired or fired
very little since leaving the factory and due to their condition and
rarity I had no desire to fire them. So, I sold them.

I have no idea what you paid but now its yours so I doubt that you paid too much.

Congratulations on a beautiful 27-2.

I'm way down in SE Huntsville, and rarely get out to Larry's on I565. Glad you scored on that S&W.

That's a beautiful gun to add to your collection! What's even more amazing is that you and jbtrucker each picked up one for your OWN collections at the same store in the same display case! Glad you each got the one you wanted!

Don't yet have a 27 or 28 N-Frame in my collection but never know when one might pop up!

 

[ejjeff]

Congratulations on a beautiful revolver! I would be happy to have one as nice. As far as paying too much, I don't believe it. We may buy too early but never pay too much.

That is some entrance to the N frame game!
