My God I didn't notice those round butt grips in the picture the first time through; grimacing as I was over the refinish. I love the looks of a beat up blued revolver.

Congratulations on your 27. There is something about N frames and 1911 government models. They just feel good in your hand. "Heavy, but heavy is good!" Kind of way. I just showed a 27 to buddie. His quote was that "this gun says the guy carriying it is serious, as in he's not fucking around"
Congrats on a very beautiful Smith!! A 3 1/2" 27 is high on my grail gun list too.
Got an EP River Belt and Threepersons Border Stamped for the 5-in. for an article on the 27-2 a decade ago. It'll be cheesy, but don't like idea of submitting this baby to Kydex.Originally Posted by nyeti
You are officially in the club. Most don't realize it, but once you get a 3.5" 27, you sort of step up to a different level of gun person. Just holding them in your hand takes you to a different place that no polymer gun can. And just remember, as we learned in WWII, that will send a round through a Japanese helmet with the Japanese soldier still in it......good information to know. You will get tons of style points at the round up. I will have several there for you to drool over, and hopefully, my Barranti Sloan holsters will be done by then.
Still getting goodies for the elk/bear hunt after y'all's class so may not have time
/dough to add Magna's and bright aluminum Tyler's. Pachmayrs will reduce style points but don't wanna bang up these purty Goncalos...

Wow. "Nice" just doesnt do it justice.
Mm-hm. *nods*
My 3.5" 27-2 is probably my favorite gun, were I forced to pick one.
Nice to have you back in the revolver section. A lot has happened........
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

So if you had to choose one revolver for use, favorite or not, would it be the 3.5" M27 or your 4" M19?
In these cases, good mechanical condition but cosmetically ruined, is there a Go To outfit for re-bluing?Every DS in my area that's in my price range looks like it's been used to pan for gold.

How much are 3.5" 27-2s going for these days if you don't mind me asking? That's pretty much the only gun that I want that I don't already own.
I have a mildly modified 4" 27-2 from some PPC guy, but there's just something about snubbys. If I was carrying one for real I think I'd go for a 4" (same applies to 19/66), but the snubbies are just soooo cool.
