Heck, I would have gone and bought a brand new Glock to even swap with him for that!
I should have a long tube 27-2 in nickel to post up pics of by the end of next week in this thread. It will join my 3 1/2", 4" and 5" nickel 27-2's and my one blue 6 1/2" 27-5 of my 27 collection. Now all I'll lack is a 6" barrel to add for all common barrel lengths.

Obviously that guy doesn`t know which way is "up." I know a lot of people on this forum don`t like Glocks, but to me this is a good illustration of their purpose as I see it- trading them for S&W`s to people who have no taste.

27-2
I just finished taking a scope off this gun today. I was bolted to the rear sight on frame and squesed clamp on the front end. Had to find a rear sight assembly, and stocks. Did some looking on ebay and found both needed items, were not cheep, buy this is what I ended up with, needs a coat of ren wax now.

I've added one since last posting here in 2010. Have had this one since late 2014, but have scarcely played with it. A trip to the range with it a couple of weeks back made me ask myself: "Why have I neglected it?"
Toted it all weekend after that trip to the range.
In case anyone didn't already "know" this; the 3 1/2-inch (probably 4-inch as well) N-Frame .357 Magnum is superior to all other .357 Magnum revolvers on earth for carry purposes. Better than K-Frame Combat Magnums, better than L-Frames, and certainly better than pipsqueak J-Frame .357 Magnums. No Pythons, no Korths need apply.
That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
I cannot gain a feel for '50s production N-Frame guns. With a serial number of S 1242XX I'm assuming this one dates to 1952-1953.
Model 27-4 with stocks I had Ahrends make out of amboyna burl.

Here is my latest addition to my model 27 collection. It's a well preserved 27-2 with 8 3/8 barrel I just received yesterday. It has a born on date of around 1979-1980 according to the SCSW. I must say I really like the way that long tube 27 feels in hand. Weather permitting, I feel a range visit with it tomorrow afternoon.

Question for the Model 27 group... I'm more of a Model 28 fan but have a Model 27 6.5" from the Classic Series, the 27-9. Not a real 27, right?
Great gun! I did some looking around and it seems like all Model 27's 6" or longer have the patridge front sight. Maybe you guys are used to this, but I would prefer to have a serrated red ramp sight instead. I'm interested in all thoughts about this subject.
If it's not too blasphemous, does one know where I can get the correct red ramp sight? Thank you!

After looking at all these beauties, I now know why I never see any for sale!

I've never had one but a 5" has been on my short list since I started collecting smiths. hell, any length at a fair price will suffice.

Doc, that 27-2 nickel 3 1/2" looks familiar! Looks good.
