I like the N-frame, too. Here's a 27-2 that's been rebarreled (S&W put a 6" on it years ago) and then tuned by Gino at S&W. It's my "shooter grade" 27. Stocks are Herrett's from the old Custom Shop.

Alukban,

Second one down, is that a lanyard ring hole and a Wonder Sight?


The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment. � WARREN G. BENNIS

Yes, on a 1917 smile

The Wondersight has a lot of elevation and is thus very amenable to near-archery velocity bunny loads grin

Alukban,

Is it a commercial 1917?

I don't see any signs of a refinish and it is very clean. Story behind it?

My 1917 is a reblued Brazilian contract. Got it pretty cheap, and it shoots and looks great. Mechanically nice, too. Cool guns.

Hot loaded .38 Special, stepping on the heels of Magnum.

If S&W would have made THAT revolver during the heyday of revolvers in police service, they'd be twice as big as they are today. Even if they made it as late as the 1980's they still would have sold a jillion of them.
Heck, make one now without that key lock and I'd be on it in a second.

That's a great configuration for a 36. You get the benefit of the longer barrel, but it's still a very easy belt carry. The aftermarket grips negate the drawback (in terms of shooting) of the tiny grip frame, too.

Yeah, those Hogue grips made a world of difference in how I shoot it. That factory grip is tiny.
