WAS considering selling my 27-2 3 inch

[retnavyshooter]

This gun has been sitting in my safe for the last 2 years. So, I thought why not sell it; prices are up and it should move fast. Then I saw Retired W4's post about his M29. Took the 27 to the range yesterday. I had forgotten what a sweet shooter it is. Either single action or double it puts them where you point them. Ran a cylinder of magnums thru it then switched to .38 wadcutter. Great shooter, great looker; gonna clean it and put it back in the safe.

Same here. Was considering selling my 3.5", and 5" 27-2s, one of my model 28s, and my Pre-25 because I never shoot them. Sold the 5" to a member here, but keeping the 3.5". The jury is still out on the others.

Another smart guy from Virginia.

If I had a 3 1/2 inch barrel Model 27, I would not consider selling it.

As long as it's dirty why not shoot it some more?

 

[ars1876]

I had 3, traded a -2, 3T, in the box for a new M1A1 "Loaded" and got change back in Oct 2018 . The other 2,1 5 screw & 1 -2 are not going anywhere neither are the 2 5 ".

 

[Retired W4]

Good call retnavyshooter. Now some friends, old and new will get to shoot my 29.

My 3 1/2" along with my custom .44 Special built on a 5 screw pre-27 3 1/2".
Haven't shot the .357 in 20+ years, but in my case it's not so much about shooting it as it is about possessing a highly sought after S&W and being in a semi-elite .357 magnum club.
So, for me this one will remain part of the herd.

The .357 is beautiful, but that .44 is way over the top.

Clean it spray it with g96 and away it goes let it grow roots in the safe.

Before anyone has a heart attack, the now .44 Special, 5 screw was in tough shape when I bought it. Been reblued, barrel cut but not crowned etc.
Dave Clements did his magic and brought her back to life with bigger holes in the cylinder and barrel!

Nice job resurrecting a beater.

 

[kraynky]

It would sell fast! But then you'd be regretting that you sold it, while the prices on a replacement would just keep on climbing higher & higher!

Very wise decision to shoot it first! I think that move right there should be the first thing a fellow should do when he starts thinking on selling a firearm.

I'm guilty of "selling without shooting" myself, and it always cost me money.

Thanks for sharing that beauty!

I think you should just sell it to me and get you one of those plastic pistols, (wink, wink). I could store it in my safe.

 

[jaguargolf]

Before selling a gem, think what it will cost to replace it, even if it is possible.

I love a story with a happy ending.
