...same 5" 27-2 with its 6" brother, a 27-3, a 4" Nickel 27-2, a 5" 27-nodash (with matching/numbered diamond magnas), and a Pre-27 3.5".
The 27 is why I am a S&W "collector" (accumulator). Besides the Model 10 M&P to me they are they defining revolver of the 20th century.

I'm guessing some picture taking is in my future. I have my Dad's pre-27. It originally came with two sets of grips. As I was going through a cigar box of old gun stuff I found a set of N-frame grips with s/n stamped in them. It turns out Dad never tossed anything, they were the small originals to the gun.

Model 27 Question
I want a 27 with the 8 3/8" barrel, but I want a red ramp rather than a partridge sight. I've only seen 1 like that. Does anybody know when the red ramp was available on this revolver? Thanks

A 5" 27-2 made around 1977-78 with TH, TT. Last owner says less than 20 rounds put through it.

.357 N frame!!
You guys have some gorgeous .357's , congrats to everyone of you and thanks for sharing. Really fantastic revolvers.
Funny, I remember being told back in the 1980's that the N fame is much too big for the 357 cartridge.... I'm glad I finally woke up, but boy it took me way too long..... With the right grips and that famous action, S&W's .357 N frames really are special, no wonder the "old timers" really liked them back in the day.
First, here is an old family .357 Magnum that I am very grateful to have inherited. No box or whatnot, just the gun, and the original grips and Tyler T are in the safe. I believe these (old school, refinished cherrywood) Fitz grips will stay on this revolver. The design of these grips is from the right time frame - and as a bonus they do wonders for the recoil and accuracy. Serial number is S103XXX. I wish I had some hardcast Skeeter or Keith loads ready for this, but (the reduced power) Winchester Silvertips are my carry load anyway. This .357 definitely will keep a smile on my face.
And here is an eight shooter .357 Magnum, it cost less than a popular 1911 I was looking at, and this piece was simply much too good to pass up. I hope to eventually add a good gold bead up front on this.
I'd like more of the 3 1/2"ers, but this is more than I had back in the 1980's.....
