Mod 27 from 1960.

[GF]

I found this well worn 4 screw N frame at a little show on Saturday.
I meet up with fourm member & my old table pard Doublesharp to check out an 80 table gunshow that has always been a winner for a good gun or two.

Mod 27 3 &1/2 inch bbl., serial numbered in the 209 thousand range.
Shows lotsa' wear but no buggered screw heads and no "push off".
I changed the "cutout" targets that were on it to a set of correct magnas ( number to a 204 thousand gun and still they're a little small ) with enough wear on them to look right.

First thing I did when I got home was to put 24 158gr Remington SP's through it. Shoots a little low and left but that could be me or the load.

I'm happy with it, nothing wrong with a solid gun that's got plenty of thin spots & speckles in the blue.
It gets holstered and shot without a care!

Only way that could have worked out better was if I'd have found it first.

Nice catch! You got to love those small, dimly lit gun shows.

I like that 27. I have one very similar to yours in condition and age. It's just a few thousand numbers away from yours. Congrats on the find!

Looks like a good catch!
I have to ask....

no "push off".

exactly what is that? never heard that term used before.

Cock the gun via single action, and WITH THE GUN EMPTY, push on the back of the hammer. Sometimes you get a surprise and the hammer falls. Either worn or bubba'd hammer notch or sear. Not a big deal to fix, but could cost a hammer or trigger or both. Just enough to make it a deal breaker. And you just don't know what else bubba did while he had that sideplate off.

Congratulations on the purchase and it's always sweet to find a gun you want at a gun show for a price you are willing to pay.

The trick is to know how hard you can push without actually causing the damage yourself during the "test."

Nice find!
Picked up its twin recently ,
no box or docs but wearing football relieved Rosewood presentations that have migrated over to a 5 screw pre 24.

The 4 screw 27's and 19's are my favorites...Thanks for sharing it !
