Do you know if the red ramp is factory original?

Beautiful, I don't blame you for wanting to take some pictures.

I do not know. I'll get a letter, eventually.

Very nice 27-1. I like the red ramp front sight.

Looks like a 6 1/2" barrel to me. Did you measure from the front of the cylinder to the end of the barrel? Usually, but not always, the 6" barrels have a Patridge front sight and the 6 1/2" barrel has the red ramp front sight.

Is the knife in the trigger guard a small Case? Stockman pattern? Other? It looks lot like a small Schrade with Staglon handle scales, but the shield in the handle looks like the Case oval.

As Leonardo and others have said, that is a very pretty gun.

Muley's info on front sights was new to me. I can't offhand recall seeing a ramp sight on a Model 27, only on M-28's. I've had two six-inch M-27's and a 6.5 inch pre M-27. All had Patridge sights.
And all shot fantastically well. Six shots in a single jagged hole at 25 yards from "offhand" was common.

I'd have bought others, but prefer stainless guns for real world use. I have no safe queens.

In my observation a ramp on a 6" 27 is exceptionally rare. On the 6.5" guns it's about 50/50 ramp and Patridge. That does look like 6.5 to me so a 27-1 with that barrel length would be very, very rare because the -1 was made for such a short time.

 

[jay73]

It is a Case (doctors knife). I've had it nearly 20 years.

The barrel length is 6 inches. I was intrigued by the sight/barrel configuration, and while it looks right, I'm uncertain if its original.

Looks like another "perfect" S&W. Beautiful.

I wish my 27 no dash looked that nice.

The factory polish job and resulting bluing on your gun is superb. The Colt Royal Blue finish could not be any better than the bluing S&W did on your gun.

I've had several 27's and pre 27's and and never got them to shoot into one jagged hole at 25 yards , especially offhand. What kind of ammo were you using ?

 

[kmyers]

That is a great revolver that you have.
