Finally snagged a 27-2

[Flint Ridge]

I've been looking for some time and seen many, some in good shape, all pushing or over $1,000.

So, I took a chance on one on internet, with poor pictures, but supposedly good shape. Well it was WAY cheaper than anything I've seen in person and WAY better shape - the best combination possible!

Here are a few pic's.

It looks to have been well cared for. It should be a tack driver.

 

[SunnySlopes]

You'll be able to shoot minute of angle accuracy shooting into the next time zone with that baby.

What a beautiful piece! I have a 27-2 nickel plated and engraved in 8 3/8" that will never leave me! You picked a fine one!

 

[Flint Ridge]

Thanks SunnySlopes & S&W-Keeper! I've always wanted a long barrel!

 

[sig220mw]

Looking at the front of that cylinder it is hard to tell if it has even been fired.

It's a beauty!

 

[Flint Ridge]

Yep, sig220mw, it was super clean. Did see some slight residue on every other cylinder

I don't think it was fired other than at the factory. Not sure I can screw up the courage to shoot it. Heck I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

 

[orionengnr]

Can't take it with you.
Might as well enjoy it, at least a bit. If you got it for a decent price, you will never lose money on it.

 

[MIL-DOT]

Wow, she's a sweety !! Outstanding photography,as well.
Oh yeah, you ain't getting off without telling us what that one ran you .

 

[Flint Ridge]

6 OTD, not a steal I guess, but in my area lesser ones are sitting on the shelves from $950 - $1,150

 

[SunnySlopes]

Thanks SunnySlopes & S&W-Keeper! I've always wanted a long barrel!

Now I want one. Thanx. My wife'll give you a piece of her mind. Not that she can spare any.

training wheels optional?

 

[627PCFan]

Now thats a good lookin gun. No cylinder drag lines?

 

[Flint Ridge]

I think 3 rounds down the barrel, the every other cylinder test from the factory. You could faintly see those. Kind of makes you smile when you clean that up.

Nice Revolver! I'm soooooo jealous! I too have been looking for a 27-2 with a 8-3/8ths barrel. I hope you enjoy it.

I snared one too.

 

[Flint Ridge]

You know I now want more and showing more pictures won't help with this

Would love to find an "S" prefix 5" Nickel in good shape, will keep looking.

It looks like wonderful range toy. The long barrel and heavy weight will keep "ball of flame" and recoil to minimum should you decide to shoot .357 loads. Another big plus is these things are nearly impossible to wear out.

It didnt' come with a Safariland suede lined holster did it?

 

[Flint Ridge]

Nope - don't tell me you let something like this get away?

 

[351 WINCHESTER]

I didn't let it get away, it walked away back in 74. Haven't seen it since, but I'm still looking.

 

[LTR shooter]

Very , very nice! I've always loved the look of the 8 3/8" Model 27 - the big N-Frame too me just looks right with the long barrel. I have the same barrel length in a 27-3 and it is really a shooter!

 

[Iggy]

That is a great looking gun. I have a 5" and now two 3 1/2"rs

Halp!! I'm falling.

 

[4D5]

Very nice. You'll enjoy the heck out of it. Take it out and shoot it. That's what they are for and you can't take them with you.

I own 3, 27-2 8 3/8" blued, 27-3 6" blued and 27-2 4"blued. They only see mild re-loads, easier on me and the guns although they are plenty capable of full magnum loads.

All are excellent guns and scary accurate
