Good lookin pistola.......does it shoot as good as it looks?

The 3.5" 27 is one of the finest proportioned revolvers ever made. It is beautiful in and of its own right.


SWEEeeeet.....................a classic!!!!!!!

All I've got is a lousy 4" 27-3............

As an aside IMO the 3.5" N-frame 27 and the 3" K-frame 66s share the same "Proportions" of frame to barrel and butt.

Richard,
I agree . . . The 3 1/2" N-frame in 357 Magnum is very appealing to many of us

While I have several 3 1/2" examples myself, none of then are engraved.

My only 3 1/2" Model 27 from the 2nd engineering revision is believed to be unfired since leaving the factory. It is pictured here with a 9th engineering revision of the 3 1/2" Model 27 that is also unfired since leaving the factory. These are my bookends

When it comes to shooting, my two favorite 3 1/2" N-frames in 357 Magnum are one of the 8 shot Model 27s and this 1954 example wearing smooth Ivory stocks with a black grip adapter

Nice. Thanks for sharing. Familiar engraving.

That is a very nice, fancy M27-2. All I have is a rather plain 1968 3 1/2" M27-2, they are great looking revolvers!

OP, I don't usually like an engraved anything... But that particular Revolver... I'd not only own proudly, but I would even carry and shoot her once and a while as-well ! This is something special and classically, and very finely done sir! Thank you for sharing this beautiful work of functional art with us...
