For sale is a S&W Model 27-2 .357 Magnum revolver, blue, with a 5-inch barrel. The gun comes with a presentation case, factory tools and paperwork, and non-original / non-relieved Target stocks.
This S-prefix, pinned and recessed 27-2 is in excellent condition; there are some points that should be discussed:
I believe it was reblued at some point during a prior ownership. See closeup of right-side frame panel. The panel is securely fit to the gun but shows "the line" where such is not normally as obvious. Showing that panel in the right lighting reveals what appears to have been surface pitting re-covered by a refinish. Note the "FORD" marking on the grip frame. I've already contacted Ford's Refinishing in Florida and they report this is not a mark they'd make, so they likely did not perform the refinish.
The presentation case appears to be original; however, a prior owner replaced the original lining with fabric-covering. All tools and paperwork are otherwise present.
The Target stocks are non-relieved and not original to the gun. There is a gouge on the left-hand panel; the stocks are otherwise perfectly functional.
I have logged approximately 200 rounds through this gun, and it is a fine shooter.
Given the above caveats, I'm asking what I believe is a fairly-discounted price for what might otherwise be expected for an S-prefix 5-inch 27-2: $1,000.00 shipped FFL to FFL.
No trades are being considered at this time, please.
A note about my dealer: they will provide neither me nor you with a copy of their FFL; rather, if we transact, I'll need to exchange contact information with you for both yourself and your dealer to provide to my dealer when I take the gun to them for shipment. They will contact your dealer directly to exchange licenses and finalize shipping details. It can take my dealer up to three business days / weekdays to provide a tracking number to me: I will forward that to you as soon as I have it.
Payment via discrete (no description and no fee to me) PayPal Friends and Family or Venmo preferred. USPS money orders also accepted. Personal checks from established members also accepted.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like additional pictures.
Item to be cross-posted.
Thank you for looking!
