I just plain like the 3 1/2" barrel with big revolvers like the 27. One of my favorite gun shops currently has 2 27-2 in 3 1/2". The cost would be $950 and $850.... the more expensive looking like a 98-99% gun and the other maybe 97-98. I have seen these on websites like Collectors Firearms go for $1200 or more (without original box/papers but in a case). Good investments, yes or no at these prices?
