You can never go wrong with a 27, especially nickel.
Congrats!

Nice piece! Enjoy.

That ramp front sight is unusual on a 6 inch 27. Usually it is the Patridge sight. Very nice. I still have my first .357 Magnum (pre 27) I bought in 1968. Great guns!

Very nice 27-2. The stocks are pretty too. Congrats.

Guten Morgen, Schmartie...Willkommen im Forum! You have a very nice nickel Model 27-2, manufactured in 1977. It appears to be in very good condition, and should be an excellent and accurate shooter. The mahogany presentation case looks original, although the inserts have been replaced. It would have looked like the case for my 6" blued 27-2 (N479553) shown here, also from 1977-1978. As Nightowl stated, most 6" Model 27s had Patridge front sights instead of ramp sights like yours. Not sure if that was a special order, or if nickel versions came with Baughman front sights. Gluckwunsch, und geniessen!

Excellent! My 27-2 is the best firearm I own.

You have two hands, so now get another one!

Took my 27-2 to the range this morning and shot what a friend calls a target to keep you humble.

Very nice. My M27-2 SN N4479xx shipped Feb 22, 1978, so yours is most likely in the last 3 months of 1977. I'm used to seeing the Patridge front sight on mine, that one is....different. Maybe it is because of the nickel finish, maybe just ordered that way. At any rate, you have the Cadillac of S&W, be proud of it.

I have two nickel 27-2s, one 4" and one 5". Fantastic revolvers.

Congratulations on acquiring a really classic handgun! I also have a nickeled 27-2 with a 6" barrel, but it has the more conventional target front sight.

Congrats! I don't know why it wasn't your first choice, but you should be proud. Nothing like a N frame, especially nickel in mint condition.

My 27-2 is a nickel 5" original box and papers serial # N440670. I wasn't looking for a 5" it just became available.Would have bought it if it was a 4" or a 6"

Wonderful purchase
a really rare nickel 27-2 with a front ramp sight, i'm looking for one here in Italy since 1989, if you were here i would offer you 3000 euros.
My congratulations and all my envy.
Ciao da Roma

You did good. Its a beautiful 27-2.

 

[chakx2]

It's gorgeous. 6 inch for N frame is better than 4 inch. I have 28-2 in 4 inch, looks shorter than it is. I still love my 28-2 tho.

Schmartie:

Beautiful revolver. Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Thanks for sharing,

The model 27 is my favorite S&W. Guess that explains why I have eight of them in all the barrel lengths. Only the 6 1/2" eludes me.
