So, I've been looking for a model 27-2 with target grips and the 8 and 3/8 barrel for a long time now, with the idea of shooting steel at long distances and hot-rodding some handloads. Nothing competitive, just a little fun on my range with a good shooter grade, long barreled, pinned and recessed model 27-2 from the late 70s.
This is what I ended up with. A 4 screw, 3 and 1/2 inch Model 27 from 1961 in great cosmetic shape - no holster wear and just a slight turn line - wearing Magnas. Pretty much not what I started out to acquire at all.
It's broken too. Yep. The double action pull is binding every couple of pulls and, despite the best efforts of a few of the members here, I'm not savvy enough to fix it. So now, not only do I have the wrong gun but it has to take a trip to the doctor to get fixed.
Why did I buy a broken gun that is exactly not what I wanted? I dunno. But take a look at it...
How could I turn that down? So does anyone have a shooter grade, long barreled 27-2 with target stocks for sale? I guess I'm still looking…
