When I first joined this forum I never dreampt that I would be able to participate in this thread. I was the proud new owner of a model 66-1 2.5" and was very humbled by the history and quality of what I have seen posted here. I have no treasures like I see here. I do, however have these:

My relatively new 5" dash 2 from 1978. These things are addictive.

Grips

James:
May I ask what the Kurac grips are made of? my guess is ebony. they really compliment your 27. Kurak makes some great grips.

Those are perfect Model 27's. I predict that you have will a couple more in the next few years. [/QUOTE

Thank you for the compliment! My wife, however, strongly disagrees with your prediction. I'm with you though, she is probably wrong...!

GA 1911, those are some sweet wheel guns you have there. Geez they even make the cloths pins look good

Found a 4"!

27-3 wearing Kurac's and a new side plate.

Came as a 357-44 B&D conversion

With original side plate.

I got talked into keeping the original side plate and 357-44 cylinder. Probably never use them, but worth keeping.

Kinda curious, where did you get a new side plate? I would think they have to be fitted to the gun. Look good BTW.

My first time here gang. It prob won't be my last...lol I have a question for somebody on here that is best equipped to tell me about a 357 I acquired thru a trade deal, a pre 27 N Frame. Me & S&W are at a loss as to any info, details, or anything else except the manufacture date(circca 54-55). The SN has an "S" stamped in front of it.
I have pics & numbers for it.
Needin Help.

Here is a pretty one I had for a short time.

 

[boykinlp]

I just added a Model 27-1 5" that I bought at the Charlotte Symposium to my accumulation. This is one place that you can find something that may be considered a bit difficult to find:

I figure that I will find a 27-1 3 1/2" next year in Reno.

SWEET!!!!!

Here are my two 27-1 revolvers (the 6" was bought in Baton Rogue in 2016).

I have a letter on the 6" (shipped 4-19-1963), and the 5" has a serial number just above the 6". This means nothing until I get the letter on the newer one (ordered yesterday).

I figure that I will find a 27-1 3 1/2" next year in Reno.

I may have an extra 3.5" I can let go of....

I have found "letting go" of a 3.5" 27 to be an impossibility... perhaps it is something genetic or molecular.

Once they come to live in my safe they seem to be here to stay.

Here are a few of the older 3.5"ers that have taken up permanent residence:
