The barrel is to long. If it isn't a hunting or competition handgun, I'm not into >4" barrels. I have a thing for 2.5" - 3" barrel revolvers.
The 29-2 in more expensive to feed, not something I'd carry, not something I'd grab to go hunting with or use for defense against predators, and the only use I'd have for it as as a safe queen and a collectable that wouldn't have much other use.

You posted 2 pictures of that 27 with the beautiful old-fashioned blued finish for a reason lol... It's pricey though. What's the normal going rate? If $1600 a good price? I reckon I wouldn't even carry the M27 if I brought it for that price.

that the thing, it’s already worn in, So I would definitely carry it
I would go with the pre-model 27 if the action is really smooth out of the guns you have shown. More likely, I would go to another shop and buy the RUGER Match CHAMPION GP-100 and save $500.00.. I want a smooth action on a handgun and I will pass if it does not have one.

At this point Mark, I'm just a little p.o.'ed that your LGS is bit too far for me to conveniently get over to every day for these great deals (as you know, people who don't live here don't understand the geography of the region or the intricacies of getting around the greater Puget Sound area) so it's a PITA for me to beat you (and the other guys) over to the other side of the Sound to score one of these pieces.
I remain, however, a sucker for a classic S&W revolver or Colt 1911.

Thanks! I really like the pre-27 now. Tomorrow, I’ll go check it out again. $1600 is a big chunk of money but 90-day layaway is BOMB! lolI have much less cool variants of both the 27 and the 29.
If I could only have one or the other, I'd take the 27 because it will probably get shot more.
You have good taste in revolvers.

Run back and get the 29-2.
It's fun helping you spend your money.

I believe the shiny nickeled. If it were stainless it would be a 629.
You best be putting this one on layaway also. You know it needs to be done.

I have missed out on deals by being unwilling to make a spur of the moment decision.
Oh, well.
Reminds me of the time I had gun funds recently sunk in Gun H and did not think I could afford Gun C or Gun B.
Had I seen them all at the same time, I would have been better off with Gun C. But it was the most conventional and I might not have gotten past the Kewl Factor of the others anyhow.
