""Kritter.. thanks for the photo... of the 5" with the Patridge sight.. mine is the only other one I've seen.. I had one of the S&W folks tell me it was a specical order gun, but I had not seen another one.. ""

I never really noticed untill you mentioned it..Hmmmmm.. may have to call and see what S&W says.

Pre27 from 1953 with a little Elk Ivory.

 

[Dave T]

I'm not likely to ever have an RM but I have been lucky enough to own a few 357s by S&W. Currently in the safe are these three:

First is a restored, round-butted and reblued 27-2 that was badly pitted and rusted by a previous owner's storage under a truck seat.

Second is my example of the bastard cousin of the 27, the Model 28. This one is a "no dash" and represents the 4" barrel M-28 I first carried as a LEO.

Finally is the real one, a pre-27 with numbered Magnas and my favorite barrel length of 5".

[CAJUNLAWYER]

OK I'll play-my 5" 27-2.
BTW that zip lock in the background has raw sugar in it-not what y'all may think

 

[selectgear]

27-2 5 inch:

 

[Vanilla Gorilla]

The 5 inch 27-2 is a favorite for me as well.

The gun, sans owner.

 

[c.w.]

all my #'s match...ex. the grips

please note the grips...smooth target( no cut out )...they came with the gun. circa 1952-3

Pre-27 3.5"

I thought I was getting out of N-frame collecting but couldn't resist picking up this one. The 5-screw pre-model 27 in 3 ½" barrel is a signature model for S&W so I suppose every collection should have one . . . or more!

When it shipped in February 1954 I suspect it was outfitted with diamond magnas but it came to me with these . . .

I suppose I can live with them .

 

[dbracin]

[David LaPell]

GLL, who did the grips on your 27's?

 

[GLL]

David:

Don Collins makes almost all of my magna grips. They are fatter than factory and work for my small hands very nicely with ligher loads !
Beautiful craftsmanship and a nice guy to work with !

Jerry

 

[28Shooter]

Good looking revolvers all. Love the look of the front sights with the pins on the 50s guns.

The Models 27 and 28 are THE way to do .357 Magnum.

Couldn't agree more!

Bastard 28

Hey, Dave, if you don't want the poor cousin hanging out with the fancy relatives, I'd be happy to babysit!
