I absolutely Love my N-Frame Smith and wessons. Im the owner of 3 of them....29-2 8-3/8" nickel. 27-2 8-3/8" Blued. And a 28-2 6"
Now, I see they're still in production as the 27-9 or the "classic" series. I know they're not pinned or recessed cylinders anymore, but im assuming S&W didn't think that was any longer necessary to cut costs is what ive heard. Makes sense.
Now, that brings the question up...are the new ones worth it? Are they as smooth as the good old ones from the 1950s-1970s? My newest smile and wesson is a M586 circa 1986.
I'm assuming there are differences in the fit, finish and feel of the new ones...there just must be, theres no way they're the same. But, ive never held a new one, or shot a new one.... before I buy one I'd like to hear some THR member reviews. I'm looking at a new M27 that's looking to cost around 1k$ Thank you
