Here's my only 5-inch 27-2, and my only nickel S&W.

This is the gun that got me into "collecting" S&Ws.

3-Ts, factory fired only, original factory case, papers, and tools.

I traded for it in 2001 - value of my trade guns was $450.

I'll give you $500 for it, that's $50 profit!

Love the 5 inch 27s, this dash two is a favorite, and yes it gets shot but never in a holster.

My 27-2 5" came to me gun only. Serial N6923xxx. Have sold off the rest of my 27 collection. Keeping this one, nothing fancy, great shooter.

...I own three 5" barreled 27-2s, two of which are pristine, in the presentation case and in the same SN range as Bill's 5"er. I have no photos of them yet, but I committed to Bill that I will try and take and post a few during the next week or so.

Finally got the camera out and making good on my commitment to Bill. Here are the two - pretty close to matching 5"ers.

N361983 - shipped in August 1976:

...and N361912, also shipped in August 1976:

I bought them as a set, and my guess is that they were purchased by the original owner as a set...

If you bought it for that now, you'd be stealing.

The Mississippi Highway Patrol started out with 5" registered magnums when they were organized in 1937. 50 of them were shipped to Camp Shelby Mississippi near Hattiesburg to their first training class. David Carroll had one of these a while back and by the time a friend of mine found out about it it had already been sold. He had seriously been looking for a MHP registered magnum. MHP went from RM's to pre 27"s then 27's, all blued and in 5" until the mid 80's when the bottom feeders came along. Almost 50 years. A few of the Mississippi troopers had nickeled revolvers but they weren't shipped that way. I've had a few of the 5" 27's in my lifetime and if I ever get another it ain't getting away this time.

My only 5" 27-2 is pretty "plain vanilla" compared to most here. Still unfired but this may just be the year,,,

 

[glenncal1]

Charlie-an unfired 5" 27-2 is not "plain vanilla" in my book.

Someone else claimed to have the ugly duckling,
They are mistaken I have it. It is my truck gun
and one of my favorites.i have changed trigger
and front sight to my taste. This gun gets
carried in a lined leather holster and shot
often .

 

[Dave.357]

Here is my 27-2 5" made in 1978. It came with the 3T's option in the Presentation Case. I had a smooth combat trigger installed when I had a gunsmith smooth the action. Stocks are smooth rosewood from Sile that I picked up a couple of decades ago at a $10 sale from CDNN. From what I have observed, the Patridge front sight is somewhat uncommon.

Your gun has the right trigger and sights IMO
Look at my truck gun , went to a lot of trouble
To make one like yours.
