Do all 27-2 models have the same finish?

[TDC]

Light intensity and diffusion, direction, color temperature, natural or artificial light, all can contribute to the way bluing transfers in digital photography. So does the way our monitors translate the digital image.

Three pictures below are of the same gun using different natural lighting angles. These are mainly pictures intended for record keeping and insurance purposes and are very low resolution. So don't be too critical guys...

The top 27 picture could easily pass for a well waxed 28. The second for a matte 28 if it didn't have the 3 T's and the 5" barrel, and the third more closely resembles it's actual look and that of other unwaxed 27's of its period.... Again, they are all the same gun.

Light can be a very deceptive thing. Perhaps some others could provide some pictures that could demonstrate this lighting angle issue much better.

Mod 27-2 matte finish

A gentleman is selling what is obviously (on the crane), a Mod 27-2 3&1/2" with a matte finish. Reads 27-2. never seen one like it. He's asking $800

Zombie thread.
Looks like bead blast blue.
S&W does this type of refinish.
A fool and his money would soon be parted on that one.

Meaning?

1) 3 year old thread resurrected.
2) What it is.
3) What they do.
4) Don't buy.

Understand?

I would buy that one. I think it's stunning in satin.

It does look like a different trigger than I'm used to seeing on them though.

Any blued or stainless gun can be bead blasted to remove the polished finish and to each his own but why ruin a nice 27 when the 28 exists ...unless the finish is ruined already.

At some point enough people were smoothing their trigger faces that S&W took notice and started producing a smooth "Combat" trigger as standard and option on many models.
Most of my post 1982 4" guns have it as standard ,
IMO its alot easier on the trigger finger in double action.

So it's a "Smooth Combat Trigger" if it's not the regular skinny trigger but not as wide as the target trigger and it has a smooth face? I've seen that trigger plenty of times and have it on a M10 but I've never seen one on any M27 before now. I guess nothing says it couldn't be added.
