My Nickle 27-2 4 inch

[snaquebite]

Maybe 24 rounds
SN N755XXX
Have original box and cleaning tools

I'm thinking 1979?
I believe I got it in 1980. Also have the same model blued.Never fired..Will get a pic posted.

Please tell me you have a Smith you do shoot? I can understand the unfired one and have a long tube 27-2 unfired other than the factory.

32 years and only 24 rounds - not like it's unfired.

Might be time for some form of Smith intervention.

Oh did I mention I'm totally jealous? Would love to have a 4" Nickel 27-2.

 

[snaquebite]

I actually have several I shoot. Including a third 27-2 six inch...

 

[bamabiker]

That is purrrty.

 

[Art Doc]

I looked for one like that about 9 years ago. Passed on one at $450. Passed on one at $425. Finally passed on one at $385 before deciding I guess I really wasn't all that hot to have one after all.

 

[Bobthegod]

So.............. you wanna sell it?

4" nickel model 27-2's deserve to carried and shot not tucked away in the corner of a gun safe.

I have a super clean nickel 4 inch 27-2 that has been shot a little and I would shoot it but I have a 3.5 inch that has someones name engraved on the frame on it under the grips and that one is my short barrel shooter 27-2.

Here's my nickel 27-2 4 inch

That's a damned difficult gun to find.

I've run up on many 4" -3's and surprisingly, most were nickel, but 4" -2's in nickel don't surface every day.

Nice gun to have. Regardless if you choose to shoot it, I hope that you preserve it and treat it well....

They are nice. I shoot this one!

 

[cobretti]

I had one, traded it for a IBM M1 Carbine. I just didn't like the .357 in that big a frame. And it was a 27-2 with an unpinned barrel...

Small world, this one is N7558xx. Joe

Thanks for all the comments. Could anyone tell me the born date and suggest a value...I realize these are hard to find...One of the reasons I kept this one close to NIB. My blued 27-2 4ers" are NIB...

I shoot my other 4" nickle and also a 6"

My Dad bought 2 each of all my 27-2's in 79 or 80...He kept one of each and gave me one of each...I inherited his when he passed away along with a lot of other Smiths dating back to 1880

snaquebite, the serial number indicates it was shipped in 1980, according to SCofS&W. Value, tough call, but I will take a guess, and that is all it is, $675 to $800 depending on condition, box, tools, etc. Just an opinion. Here is my M27-2 from 1980.

 

[snaquebite]

Thanks JC...that seems to be aligned with other27-2s of the same time frame. I was thinking that the rarity of the 4 inchers being offered might bring the price up...You can't find them for sale anywhere...

3.5's and other barrel lengths yes...but not 4"

 

[clang444]

I've got one just like it. It never gets shot because I have a well used 3.5" pre-27 that gets shot regularly.

 

[snaquebite]

Clang444...when did you acquire yours and what was the cost, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[chud333]

Just a comment but i recently sold a Blued 4"
for 800 so i would guess your Nickle could
command at least that much.

[snaquebite]

Thanks Chuck....Thinking about letting it go...I've got 5 others.. Wanting to build a new AR

 

[chud333]

Not a problem and Thank You for your service.
Mine was like new no box or tools etc....
Hardly a turn line. Here's a pix.
