Found a nice 27-2 with a 3.5" barrel

[JeffD607]

I found a nice 27-2 with a 3.5" barrel today for a lot cheaper than they are going for on Gunbroker. Serial number is N163XXX, so it should have been born around 1973-1974. I often see the older revolvers wearing newer grips. This previous owner went in the other direction.

Local shop, neighbor, friend, acquaintance? "That's a really nice gun" is an understatement!

Nice find!

I would like to find one but the only one I've found locally had some wear, the wrong stocks, was just the gun, no extras, and the price was $1600. Thought it was a little high at the time so I passed it by. Hopefully I'll come across another one at some point. Maybe that was a good price, I'm not sure. It seems like for that money it should have been in mint condition.

Nice! I bought a 3.5" 27 TG and TH in 1969. One of my favorites, but it got stolen in 1995 along with most of my guns. Found a nickle plated 3.5" w/ the presentation box about 6 years ago.

That gun looks pristine ! I got one last year with a little holster wear, filed out my Mod 27-2 collection.

Congratulations! That is very, very cool.

I've been lucky to see several of these over the years. Seeing this one reminds me that most of the ones I see are in very nice condition some complete with box and docs. Why, I wonder, are they all so nice?
Maybe one day I'll bring one home as nice as this one.

I hope you bought a lottery ticket too...

Yeah, lucky to find that local. I highly admire it.

They are nice guns, but the 4" mod-28 is the way to go.
I think better balance and performance.
