No wonder people think they're RARE , we got 'em all!
Found mine about a week or two after I passed up a presentation case & tools for a 5in. Went back to that shop , but of course , it was long gone.

The Model 28 was modified by Dave Chicoine, using the 6" barrel. I asked him to use the original front sight and install a red insert in it also, and he did an amazing job. All I did was send him the barrel, I removed and re-installed it once the work was done.

Already posted this in another thread, but since the title specifically asks for it, here it is again.
It's my 357mag version of a Dirty Harry gun, and when I load hot loadings in it, most couldn't tell it wasn't a 44mag.

My 5" 27-2 is actually the worst conditioned revolver I own. It has plenty of bluing loss, a couple of pit marks here and there, and been there and done that target stocks. I bought it for cheap and really cleaned it up to where it is beyond awesome. I shoot it all the time with whatever load I feel like, and it is still tight as a bank vault.
It is the opposite of a safe queen, but it would be tough for me to let go of it. The picture makes it look cleaner than it actually is.

All I can say is that I'm really envious of you guys! I had the opportunity to swap my 4" Highway Patrolman for a M27 but I passed it up because I knew what had. 
That said, I just find the 5" S&W N-frames absolutely irresistible!!! Your 5" model 27s are fantastic! Thank you all for sharing your pics!

I found this lightly used M27-2 five inch in an LGS wearing ugly Goodyears. Found it had the original Target Stocks too.
The gun has some odd bluing loss in a freckle pattern on the right side like some chemical spray landed on the barrel. No rust. Shoots like a dream and was priced right to boot.

Aloha,
You had to ask?
http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-revolvers-1961-1980/279411-m-27-made-me-look-good.html
Most likely the Best Smith I own. And this is after 2 hours at the range.
My first time with it.
