Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
First introduced in 1935 as the legendary "Registered Magnum," the Smith & Wesson Model 27 stands as the flagship deluxe wheelgun that launched the entire .357 Magnum era. Built on S&W's massive, heavy-duty "N-frame" steel chassis, the Model 27 is instantly recognizable by its fine, hand-checkered top strap and barrel rib—a painstaking deluxe finishing touch exclusive to Smith & Wesson's top-tier revolver line. The Model 27-2 revision represents the coveted "Pinned & Recessed" era, featuring a pin-secured barrel and counterbored cylinder chambers to fully enclose cartridge rims. Outfitted with the impressive 8 3/8-inch target barrel, brilliant factory Nickel finish, Patridge target sight, case-hardened target hammer and trigger, and figured Goncalo Alves target stocks, long-barrel Nickel Model 27-2s represent cornerstone centerpiece acquisitions for serious Smith & Wesson collectors.
This magnificent late-1970s collector example, serial number N693764, is an authentic Smith & Wesson Model 27-2 manufactured in Springfield, Massachusetts, circa 1979-1980. Chambered in .357 Magnum, this revolver features the desirable 8 3/8-inch pinned barrel, recessed 6-shot cylinder, hand-checkered top strap and rib, factory Bright Nickel finish, Patridge front sight, adjustable rear target sight, case-hardened target controls, and checkered Goncalo Alves target grips with gold S&W medallions. Preserved in clean, highly maintained condition throughout with mirror-like nickel coverage, sharp rollmarks, rock-solid mechanical lockup, and a mirror-bright bore with razor-sharp rifling. Offered w/ a Smith & Wesson blue plastic hard case, this 1970s Pinned & Recessed Nickel Model 27-2 offers S&W purists an exceptional flagship revolver.
