Got it back!

[Kimberglock]

Hi everyone. Im brand new here. About 20 years ago i sold my SW Model 27-3 to my fathers friend with the agreement i get first refusal of it if he were to ever sell it. Well i got the call three weeks ago and i got my beloved .357 back!!! Im so pumped. It has the 5" barrel and i have the spare 3 1/2" barrel that i got with it when i got it from a friends grandfather and also a set of pacmyer grips. I sold it so i could buy a SW Sigma in .40 and i knew i messed up after i shot it. I sold that and got into Glocks. I even got the same box of bullets i gave him lol. Its still in mint condition. How do you measure the barrel? Is it from the cylinder to the end of the barrel? And the best part is i got it back for what i sold it for

Proper way to measure a barrel on a revolver is from the front of the cylinder to the front of the barrel.

A story w/a happy ending. I've been looking for my service revolver, used in a 1974 gunfight, ever since then. I suspect it was traded on a shipment of new S&W but agency records do not go back that far. If you happen upon it please send me a PM. It's a Colt Detective Special, serial # 689642.

LOL!!!!!

Glad your story has a happy ending. I wish I could get back some of the guns that I sold back in the early 80's... although I probably couldn't afford them now!

Recently, I sold a WASR-10... right before our anti-2A MA AG lady banned all ARs & AKs... and the grandfathered ones in state instantly tripled in value!

No, my timing never was any good.

27-3

Thanks guys. Im happy to be here and be part of this team. And also happy to finally have a revolver let alone my very first one! I also got a Colt Frontier Scout .22 from the original owner of my SW. I shot my 27 a week ago and i cant wait to shoot it again. It has the 5" barrel and it also has a short barrel too. Is that something worth trying on the gun or not? And once again i feel very welcome here and someday hope to get a Model 29 when money allows
