Questions about my 3.5 inch 27-2

[crsides]

Something down right friendly about a gun with honest wear. I enjoy my well worn examples much more than the safe queens.

Nice price on the 27-2

I have a few pristine examples, but most of my guns have honest wear. I love the looks of safe queens, but as an old friend says, it ain't no good unless you can take it out and play with it! Enjoy your new 27!

I've seen some nice reworks done by S&W but a 3.5 27? just hold it and keep it warm...

I'm really glad to hear you are leaving it alone. I don't understand the concept of refinishing, even if it was worth a little more afterwards. Put some stags on it and you're all set. Mine cost a penny more than yours last year with a sticky DA that cost $48 to have fixed. I then had a service trigger installed that someone here gave me. The Ajax sambar stag and a Pach. grip adapter finished it off. You really lucked out. Here's mine again with my "new" 29-2.

So I'm on the road working this week, and happened on this mom and pop by a mom and pop gun shop. I troll their cases, and there it is ..... The Holy Grial! A 3.5 inch model 27. They have it price at $450.00. I asked to see it, and he handed it across the counter. It has some wear on the blueing from holster wear. No pitting, and locks up pretty tight. No end shake, and cylinder gap looks good. Timing looks right. I snapped it up, and had it transferred as I was out of state. Should pick it up tomorrow or Monday depending on delivery time. My questions are as follows.. I would like to have it refinished, and need to know the BEST place to have it done. Would Smith and Wesson be the best option? I would like to have it gone through as well by someone whom would appreciate its beauty, and history as much as I. I do not want a butcher, or some hack to fiddle fart around with this Majestic beauty. I only want to restore it to its original condition (after I shoot the heck out of it of course). What are my best options, and approximately what are the costs involved. I am fortunate to have enough that cost ain't a real issue. Though I would like to know what to expect to pay. I still can't believe that I found this beauty. It is a shooter grade gun but I really feel SUPER LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND IT AT ALL. Much less for $449.99. What other things should I look for as far as potential issues with this unit? Any input is helpful! Thanks!

I HAD MY 27 6" REDONE IN A NICKEL CAD FINISH BY S&W, BEAUTIFUL JOB. THEY HAVE A WAY OF TESTING BRFORE SHIPPING IF THER IS GOING TO BE PEELING AND THEY WILL ALSO GO OVER GUN TO SEE IF ALL OK. WHEN I GOT MINE BACK IT WAS SO WELL ADJUSTED AND TIGHT AND A BEAUTIFUL FINISH. YOU WANT IT RIGHT S&W ONLY WAY TO GO. I THINK IT WAS AROUND 150. DOLLARS. GOOD LUCK.

Oh Wyatt Burp! That 27 with the stag grips is absolutely what I'm going for! I'll only be jealous till my stag goes arrive! How long does it take to receive a set of grasshorn grips after you order them?

He sent me a pair of elk bone (not antler) for my unlikely 39-2 and they got here in a little over a week. Colt N.S. grips about the same but I think these were already in stock. He is beyond great to deal with. Check out these elk bone grips. Phonomenal! I think these are the maximum size for elk bone. I prefer these over antler because of the non poreous creamyness of them.

Dang Wyatt,
You got some nice guns, and excellent taste!
