New 2 Me 27-2

[PauldL]

I always loved this pic - its a HellRazor from Busse Combat ...

 

[Riposte1]

I have a couple of 5" 27s, one is a 27-2 and one a 27-3. Here is my -2, it wears a set of Eagle Coke Bottle stocks in the pic, not a perfect fit unfortunately.

Now it wears Altamont copy of Ropers.



Very accurate, and tight as a tick.

Here is the same gun a little later, the load is 165 gr. GT Bullets LHP in .38 cases at about 950 fps. 25 yards of an informal rest. The little sqaures are 1" (the background not the orange ones).

I like the book-marked stocks. I see many that aren't. I bought a pair of the smooth magnum stocks for my 8-3/8 bbl. 27-2 when I got it in 1972. Mine were also book-marked like yours but I had not really looked at them when I bought them.

I want to first really thank member Rainbow452 (Mike) for giving me the chance to buy his gun.
Its the finest revolver ive ever owned
Rainbow452 (Mike) is solid as they come to. I truly appreciated his patience & generosity.
Hes a fine man
That being said this is a somewhat early N serial number 27-2 w/ a 6 & 1/2" barrel
N38902 ( i think either 71 or 72 )
It shipped with Magnas that are numbered to the revolver- although, i have a nice set of Target Stocks on it right now - it also has the non target hammer & trigger
The action is superb
I am very happy & proud to own this Smith
Here's a few pics - ill try to get some more up later
Gotta say my daughter is the one that really loves it! The first gun she ever shot was a 27-2 full target - i told her this was her gun - that & the new Tucker & Byrd HF3 holster ai just got.
Anyway, thanks for letting me share fellas

Great matching grips. Not every gun comes with matching like those. Thanks S&W forum.
