To All the Previous Posters in this Thread - THANK YOU!!!

I just spent the last hour or so clicking through the photos in this thread, repeatedly pushing the "like" button and smiling that huge ear to ear grin .

Here are a few of my favorites:

Detail photos of "Row 2" from post 56, which thanks to thoughtfulness of a great forum member, now reside in my safe...





And one of my favorite "then and now" photos, featuring a scoped pre-27 six shooter and a scoped 627 eight shooter (both of which I might add are a delight to shoot):

The revolver and grips look superb!!!! Did you use Ren Wax or something else on the grips?

I just picked the gun up last night It came this way. I hope Ren wax can keep it looking this good.

I can finally ask for acceptance from this group with my recently aquired 27-2.

I am a little late to this 27 party, but I guess better late than never.

Here's one of three beautiful smiths I snagged at a local gun show. It's a 27-2, which came with original magnas. I am still looking for a 3.5"

Here are my 2 model 27's I have, both 5" barrel models:

First up is the first pistol I ever bought when I turned 18 in 1974. It is a nickel 27-2 that I paid $200 for new. It originally came with magnas, but I recently installed these football targets on it to see how they feel.

My second model 27 I bought a few months ago off of GB. It is a 5" barrel 27-3 made in 1985 and is 1 of 2501 pistols commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 357 Magnum. It is still unfired except for the 3 test rounds that S&W shot in alternate chambers.

I recently added yet another Model 27 to my collection, bringing me up to 3. This one is one of the "12 Revolvers" set and is a 6 1/2" barrel 27-5 made in 1990. An oddity for it is the fact that even though it was manufactured after S&W quit making recessed cylinders as a matter of course on their magnum revolvers, this one does have a recessed cylinder. Anyways, here it is:

6" Needs a 3.5" Little Bro!

Here is my contribution to this epic thread!
And a shameless plea for Ash to sell me his 3.5"....PLEASE

LGS find 27-2 1979.
Almost everyone in the store was pissed at me

I'm lovin' those 4" nickel guns here, there can't be too many of those around. My one and only is a 5", from around 1972.

Here's my only 27. I picked up this 27-2 in a trade this week:

 

[tjpopkin]

I don't keep them if they are not exceptionally accurate….
I have owned most barrel lengths in the Model 27/627, but have sold many because they did not compare (in accuracy) to the ones I kept….

my one exception is the unfired PRE-27…..


Here is the MOST accurate…..also the oldest…..



a very close 2nd….one of the newest…..


and its companion….


another variant that is SOOOOO Cool…..and just as tack-driving…

My pair of 27-2's.
One is a 5", the other a 6".

I got this 3.5 Inch today, compares well to my 5 inch.

It may have the wrong front sight, aftermarket stocks, some scratches and such...But it's mine and I like it! 27-3, and what a shooter it is.
