Nothing looks more businesslike than a short barreled Model 27 or a short .357 Magnum. Here is my 3 1/2 barreled 27-2.

The only one in my safe right now is a salvage job. This 27-2 was brought back from near death by a gunsmith friend who really knows and likes S&Ws.
He bead blasted off the rust and all but the deepest pitting then round butted the grip frame. As he put it back together he tuned the action and installed the combat smooth trigger. Once it was blued the final touch was a front sight insert my aging eyes could see.
Now I'm on the hunt for a pre-M27 3.5". (smiley face goes here)
