S&W 27 - 2

[jrent]

Sorry guys I've been out of touch for a while (and still haven't found a 3.5" 27-2 in So Cal.!) but I have a question; are all 27-2s pinned and recessed? And approx what year did S&W stop making 27s with pinned barrels and recessed cylinders? Thanks ... jrent

The -3 came out in 1982 and eliminated the P&R. All 27-2 should be P&R, but with Smith all things don't always happen as they should be. Some of the P&R 27-2 may have been shipped into that year as they made the transition and frames were used up.

A large number of the 4" 27-2s made 1979-1981 are observed with unpinned -3 barrels. There may be -2s in other barrel lengths with -3 parts but the 4" guns are the only ones I have seen.

I have four 27-2's. 3 1/2", 5", 6". and 8 3/8.' All are P&R

All you need is a 4" er to finish off the collection!

My opinion only but the Model 27 is the most beautiful revolver ever built. We are fortunate to own 7 of them: Six -2's & one -3. The -2 guns are four 6" blued, one 6" nickel, one 4" blued. The -3 is an 8 3/8 nickel non P&R.
