27-2

[BLR]

I love 357 revolvers. Especially 27-2s and Pythons.







Checkering!!! Drool!

I got this because Tam wouldn't sell me here Heavy Duty.

Absolutely beautiful. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

I love mine. 6" 27-2 unfired...

[TCinVA]

This reminds me that I need to get decent pictures of my 27-2.

We could start our own club!

[WDW]

And this one. Unfired 8 3/8 Nickel...

...or my '64-vintage 3.5" 27-2.

The bluing on those old pre-Bangor Punta top-of-the-line Smiths is just unbelievable. I've heard tell that a guy wasn't allowed to do the polishing work on a 27/29/57 until he had several years under his belt working on the more plebeian offerings in the catalog.

I remember stepping into my living room in the pre-dawn gloom at my old place, and that 27 was lying on the coffee table between a 544 and a 19, and it was such an oily deep black that the other two guns looked parkerized by comparison...

I wish I made more money. My 27 and Python collection is embarrassingly light.

Sell me your HD. I'll give you visiting rights.

I'm in the process of rescuing one badly abused M27 3.5. Got it from a shop that does police trade-ins. It looked for all the world like someone had held it briefly in the shower, shook it off and threw it in an evidence bag. Not a square centimeter unrusted. Had to soak it for a month in oil in order to get the side plate off.

Probably going to send it to CCA for refinishing...

The great thing about tablets is that its easier to wipe the drool off of them than a keyboard.

You mean Mr. Middleton's bullseye gun?
