My most beautiful .357 Magnun

[rubiranch]

It has to be my 5" Model 27-2 shipped September 4, 1975.











At one time this was my brother's favorite handgun.
He replaced the factory Smooth Target grips with these beautiful
Smooth Presentation Targets made of Goncalo Alves.


He wore this in the leather holster to he Police Academy Ceremony and once again when his office was choses to work
security back stage with the Secret Service For President Ronald
Reagan came to Salt Lake City.

This one is a keeper.

Yes Sir, she’s a real looker!

I had a few from the early 1970’s and they were nicely built then.

Enjoy.

That's a remarkably nice-looking gun for one that has obviously been fired enough to leave case head imprints on the recoil shield. My 6" M27-2 was shipped a couple of years after yours (Feb 1978) and its finish is that nice.

Love it!!! Those amber and red hued GA smoothies are the perfect touch for that 5”er.

Thanks for sharing,

One of these days I might just have to take it to the range myself and throw some lead with it.
I've never shot this one for some reason.

I don't shoot mine very much; had it about 4 years and I've only put maybe 20 rounds through it. I have a M28-2 that I shoot instead, I don't want to mess up this work of art.

Beautiful revolver. Even better, it belonged to your brother. Sincerely. bruce.

This same gun was my inspiration to get a 5” 27 and put together a presentation case for it. I also had Curtis Harlow make me some grips for mine. I would like to think it comes close to Kenny’s example

That is a nice one...I always get ragged edges when I trim foam rubber...How did you get the smooth edges?......Ben

What a beautiful model 27 and one to treasure!
I have that same Safariland holster. Has the green “elk suede lining” they were known for.
