What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 27-2 .357 Magnum revolver
The Model 27-2 is built on Smith & Wesson’s robust N-frame with a square-butt grip frame, chambered for .357 Magnum with a six-shot fluted cylinder. This example wears a 5-inch pinned and tapered barrel with a short underlug/front locking lug, delivering a balanced profile prized by many shooters.
Sight regulation is handled by a ramped front sight and a micrometer-adjustable rear sight, with the rear sight leaf checkered to reduce glare. The topstrap and barrel rib are also checkered for an anti-glare sighting plane.
Construction details include a carbon-steel frame and barrel finished in high-polish blue. The hammer and trigger are color case-hardened, and the hammer uses a hammer-mounted firing pin. The action is double-action/single-action (DA/SA).
Factory checkered walnut Magna-style stocks with a diamond around the screw and S&W medallions complement the square-butt frame. The yoke cut is marked "MOD. 27-2," and the serial number falls within the S-prefix range associated with late-1960s production in the United States.
