New to me Smith 27

[Bush Pilot]

Went to a local gun show today kicking and screaming (went by myself) When I got home I somehow had a Smith that wasn't with me when I left. The gun is a Smith 27-2, it's pinned and recessed and has a 3 1/2 barrel (95%). The price was $500.00 after a bit of negotiating. BTW, the seller was a woman.

Tried to go to the gun show in Reno yesterday, but the line was around the block to get in! sounds like you scored on a nice piece though. The 27's are sweet as they come.

Congratulations. Less than I paid for mine.

Pictures are required you know.

27 is nice piece and $500 is a steal! Nice find.

The M27 is the descendent of the first 357 Magnum, the "Registered Magnum" as collectors call it. This was the top of the S&W line. The 3.5" barrel was always the most popular and fetches the most in the used gun market. I think the price you paid was well under current market value.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love all things 27. I have a passel of 27s (and variants) hanging around the house.

Screaming deal!

You stole one of the nicest revolvers ever built.
That one is in very high demand these days.
You would have done well at twice the price.

Enjoy it

You paid the "Back to the Future" price on that one.

Bush Pilot's 27 picture

Posting this for Bush Pilot, looks as if he got a real nice one.

He now has to call before coming over and poaching any more of our Smiths

Wow!!
ANY S&W revolver is worth more than $500

But a 27 with 3.5" barrel.......

 

[HKGuns]
