I had a 6" P&R M-27 for a while, but I really wanted a 5" P&R M-27. Found one about three years ago and sold the 6". It's not perfect, bit of holster wear, but it is beautiful to me.
I seldom carry it, because I have N-frames in .41 and .45LC, both in 4".
But every time I do an inventory and "thin the herd", the M-27 manages to make the cut. It is the perfect meeting of form and function. I cannot bear the thought of selling it. I recently (yet again) made a list of all my handguns (approximately 20 in all) and put numbers next to them (if I could only keep one, it is numbered 1; if I could keep one more, it is numbrered 2...the bottom of the list gets put up for sale) The M-27 is number five, which means I would have to sell fifteen others before it is in danger.
To continue the analogy, the M-27 is not a Cadillac, and it's not a Porsche. It may be a Corvette; appreciated beyond all reason, long in history, a bit high priced, but to those of us who appreciate it, nothing else can replace it.
