I've only got two, but they are two good ones!

27-2 3.5" blue from 1966

27-2 3.5" nickel from 1974

Heres my 27-2

Ive posted it a zillion times, I hope you arent tired of it yet

 

[girvin02]

My one and only:

[Edit] Seeing this old thread, I thought I should update my picture. Still my one and only. I have since swapped out the grips for some smooth magnas and swapped out the hammer/trigger for semi-target hammer/smooth combat trigger. I like it much better in this configuration.

A lowly 3.5" 27-2 from about 1964.

snw19 357,

Lowly? Don't see a thing wrong with that one. If you really don't like it I bet there are any number of members here who can find a home for it. (smiley face goes here)

Lots of great M27 types y'all.

I've owned two, but let one get away years ago to fund something else. Never again . . . I hope!

Here's my 3 1/2" barreled Model 27-2.

I hope you'll humor me here . . . I'm experimenting with my new, home-made light box with different settings and backgrounds . . . and can't find my gray card!

Here are new photos tonight, on a maroon background . . . I'm still trying to master the exposure settings. It is hard to photograph shiny metal objects, as we all know!

Same gun, last week on white . . .

Keep that eye candy coming!!!

Pretty, ugly? You decide. It came to me this way. I immediately started gathering parts to return it to it's original nickel.

Not finding a good nickel thumbpiece or ejector rod, it sat around like this for a while. It kinda grew on me. Besides, I might go to a Texas BBQ. I'm still looking for those two parts though...

27-2

Gorgeous Hoot!

There are plenty of stock nickle M27s out there. I think I'd leave it as it is and get a nice, fancy holster for your beautiful M27 and start eating lots of barbecue!!!

 

[Hoot]

Thanks Tom! I've got a black flower-carved holster that looks just right.

I don't think Charlie Sherril will let me in to the BBQ though.

 

[BKDinTexas]

Hoot,

You come to Texas, I'll BBQ for ya just to see that thing in person!
I like it - it's Texas gaudy. If you've ever seen Texas Ranger guns, especially Lone Wolf's - that one would fit right in.

 

[bmcgilvray]

How about the only-est one I have?

[Lefkiguy]

From the oldest to the youngest, First, Pre-27 6" original stocks, July 1952

Next up, 27-2 4" Nickel '79-'80

Finally, 27-3 5" 1985 50th Anniversary of the First Magnum

My 27s

This set of 27-2s took me about 20 years to complete with the 6 1/2", an early gun, being the last! Note in the pics, you will see a couple with there original shipping cartons for the presentation case.

The Jewel in the bunch.. 27-1 with COKES,,
( Pay no attention to the 19-2 on top)

 

[tom turner]

Hmmm . . .

I'm beginning to see how COLLECTING a bunch of "Cadillacs" can be both intoxicating, and addicting!
