Congrats. My Grail Gun list is very short, but a 3 1/2" M27 is on it.

Judging from the bluing, I'd say that gun has never seen the inside of a holster.
I'd do unwholesome things for a 3.5" 27 in that condition.

Yeah, not bad for being made in late 1970.

Got it from a local guy I've been buying from for many years.

Yep. You gottahold of a beauty there.
I'd love to have one just like it - or a Model 24 just like it (I like 44 Specials).

I'll echo Webleymkv's thoughts
While 4" barrels on revolvers is almost universal I've always felt that they are 1/2" too long for the purpose of aesthetics.

Beautiful.
The model 27 or the Colt Python. What a great time it was when you could make your choice and both were (almost) reasonably priced. Sigh. Without a doubt you got one of the good ones. The factory wood grips on either one don't fit me very well but they really do look elegant. |

That is one fine looking revolver. The photos are well done also. Now you have to go out shooting and truly enjoy it.

Snub357,
That is one good looking gun. Ask me & I'd say that the Model 27 is the best .357 Mag revolver ever made, and that includes the Python. The caveat is I haven't even seen that German-made revolver that costs about 5k. OK, Python owners, I know that you guys have a different opinion. |

Perhaps I'm a bit biased, but I always preferred the look of the M27 over the Python regardless of barrel length. Being a self-admitted S&W guy, full lug barrels just never did much for me.

Congrats, I have a couple that are a little bit older:
Both are pre-27s, or what S&W used to call "The .357 Magnum Revolver" made in 1950. They are 5 screw guns.
