SMITH & WESSON MODEL 27-2.357 MAGNUM REVOLVER

SERIAL NUMBER: N432554. BARREL: 5 7/8". CALIBER: .357 MAGNUM. MANUFACTURED: 1977-1978. The Smith & Wesson Model 27-2 represents the golden era of American revolver manufacturing. Built on the heavy, carbon steel N-frame, this large-frame revolver is chambered in the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge. It is celebrated by collectors for its iconic, deep high-luster blued finish and its signature fine-line checkering running along the top strap and barrel rib, a meticulous anti-glare detail unique to this premium model line. Your specific variant features a 5 7/8-inch pinned barrel paired with a six-shot recessed cylinder, meaning the cartridge rims fit completely flush inside the cylinder face when loaded. Because it was manufactured in the late 1970s, it retains these highly sought-after "Pinned and Recessed" (P&R) features, which Smith & Wesson discontinued in 1982 to reduce production costs. Outfitted with adjustable micro-click rear sights, a shrouded ejector rod, and traditionally oversized checkered walnut target stocks, this firearm is revered as both a smooth-shooting masterpiece and a centerpiece investment for firearm enthusiasts. CONDITION: Very Good. 98%++. The metal finish is very nice. No discernable cylinder line. It appears to have been fired little, if at all, post factory. Some slight finish edge wear on grips. The bore is brilliant with sharp rifling. A great looking revolver! C&R 27-541
