Longarm well said but I'm still looking to add one in 5" that I can afford. Mb

Why does S&W insist on calling their full lug guns "Classics" when the old time classic ones didn't have it?

There's one just about like that in the pawn shop down the street for about $2,000.00.

I too think the 3 1/2" barreled Model 27 (in this case a 27-2 from '67) look all business and great.

WOW GREAT! Did you ever fire that beauty? If yes, did you try 357 Magnum full house ammo?

Even full house magnums would feel like target wadcutters fired from that gun.

PS It's twin is sitting under glass at the pawn shop down the street for about $2,000.00.

Just about any Bisley-style single action.

I never should have sold this one. Super accurate with both ACP and Colt cylinders.

This is not my gun though I wish it were. It is hands down the best looking revolver I have ever seen

My first LE revolver was a 4" 27-3. Shooting the 3 1/2" 27-2 is not very different...they both are VERY controllable with any full-house ammo I use. With target wadcutters they hardly move.

The 3.5" and 5" S&W 27s are great looking revolvers.

I had a 624 trimmed to 5" and like it a lot. Have been thinking about having a 6.5" 624 trimmed to 3.5", but haven't gotten around to sending it to Ahlman's. Gotta do that before I get too old to enjoy it. My 17 year old brain wants my 67 year old body to do stuff that it just can't do anymore.

I’m partial to my Smith’s…a “5” and a “10”. Also think the Schofields were badass looking, but haven’t ever owned one. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but pleasing to my eyes.

Here's my history of beautiful revolvers, they're not pristine, or safe queens, they show honest wear and all are still shootable.

SAA, 38/44 1890
Diamondback, 38 Spec. 1981

That 1860 makes that python look tiny.
