Well approximately an hour ago I was in a local gunshop - just killin my meal break. The dealer had just purchased a revolver collection - mostly S&W pieces. He had several pieces with the boxes. One of them was a 4" Model 27-2 for $500.00. I called my wife (the boss) and explained to her the situation. Actually I begged and pleaded and promised I wouldn't get another gun for at least two years (well my fingers were crossed). She let me pull out the plastic with this parting expression: "I hope you're worth it. Merry Christmas" We've been together for fifteen years and shehasn't kicked me out yet.
So I am now the proud owner of a like new Model 27 with the box. I asked the dealer why he was selling this model for a fairly reasonable price. He said that nobody want's revolvers anymore. Which is why the display case with the six shooters is in the back and all the autos are in the front.
Now my dillema is to shoot or not to shoot. You guys have made me an addict for the big old N frame .357's. Thanks guys.
