Hi folks,
I’m new to this Forum but not exactly new….. I’m a retired LEO who started his career in the mid 1970’s with a small department in NE OH. The department didn’t have an issue firearm/ammo or for that manner much of a firearm policy in those days. We bought our own weapons for carry, revolvers of course and supplied our own carry ammo. I carried at various times a S&W Model 10 heavy barrel, a blued 19, a blued 27 6” and a Model 66 4” before I left that department for a much larger one that I retired from.
The next agency issued a Colt .45 Govt. to all officers and my professional wheel gun days were over except as a backup weapon.
The above listed weapons are all long gone as kids were born, different “I wants” came along and the years rolled by. I still have a nickel Model 36 2” and a K-22 from the late 40’s my grandpa bought.
My 1911 itch has been scratched and I own a few very nice examples. I’d like to collect a revolver as an example of my early LE days.
I’m slowly getting to the point of this thread. I have been out of the S&W market for over 30 years. I’ve been poking around this website a bit recently after joining but here is my question. I know condition plays a large part in the prices these days and everything has gone crazy but……..
What are the current going prices for decent examples of a Model 27 or Model 19/66?? I know things have all risen but I’ve asked my LGS to keep an eye out for trade-ins or consignments of the above revolvers. Just looking for a range.
Thanks in advance. Bob
