*SOLD* Smith Wesson 27-2 .357 Mag Blue 6" *OUTSTANDING THE .357 MAGNUM MODEL*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 27 is a six-shot, double-action revolver chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge and manufactured by the United States company Smith & Wesson. It was the first purpose-built revolver to fire the .357 Magnum cartridge. Designed in 1935, it was commonly called the "Registered Magnum." The Model 27 replaced the Registered Magnum in 1939, which was the Registered Magnum but was standardized for economic reasons due to the ease of production. Many versions are still in production today. The Model 27 was built on S&W's carbon steel, had a large N-frame, had adjustable sights, and was available at various times with 3 1/2", 4", 5", 6", 6 1/2", 8 3/8", 8 3/4", or 10 5/8" barrel lengths. The Model 27 can be identified by the high gloss finish and checkering on the top strap on the frame and barrel.
