S&W 27-2, 4" on consignment

[joeymfd]

went to the guns fishing and more range today. they had a 27-2 on consignment. lock up was good, but there was quite a bit of holster wear on the muzzle. I think 1k is high, but I thought id put it out there.

But, but, but, it's off roster and it's rare.

That's a nice model. Large frame 357. Probably has a smooth trigger. Bet it saw more time in a holster than in use. That is a tad on the high side but consignment guns are that way because the ffl needs to make money and it does make it easier to sell for the owner. Takes the hassle out of posting and meeting. Maybe make them an offer. Remember, the price is set based upon how much the owner wants. Maybe the owner is flexible.

was just eyeballing a 27-2 4 inch at AAA Vallejo had less wear for the same price. they put in a couple of new glass cases just for C&R handguns saw a bunch of C&R long guns too

The sign of LEO ownership... lots of holster wear and few rounds down range. Always a good buy!

The S&W 27-2 above, is a rare bird with a 3.5" barrel. You don't see them for sale very often.

Being it's already in CA sure cuts down on the expense of importing it!

It has the target grips, but from the angle of the pic, can't tell if it has the target hammer & trigger?

Gone!

Does that mean you bought it. If so good for you.

Actually, the 3 1/2" barrels are the most common of the short barreled M27's. the rarest are the 4 inchers, made only for a couple of years near the end of the -2 run before they stopped pinning barrels and recessing cylinders.

This is true, and even though the 4" and then probably 5" are the least common, the 3.5" has been bring the most $$$ for over a decade.

If you are dude who just has to shoot a boat-load of real .357 Magnalum on a regular basis then this is the gun for you.

I'd love to do a side by side quality inspection with that particular $1,0000 M27 with one of the examples the performance center is pumping out for twice the money.

Sweet I have a beautiful 27-2 with a 5 inch barrel.

I sold this 3.5" blue Pre-27 last year, but still have the unfired 4" nickel 27-2:

From 1979 to the end of the dash-two in 1981, some M27-2s were assembled without recessed chambers and / or pinned barrels. S&W used dash-three parts as substitutes but the frames carry dash-two marks.

I'd say the price would be reasonable, but still on the high side, if it were P&R'd.

As a later gun, price to me is definitely higher than I'd pay by $200-300. But as posted, go in low. I'd offer $850 and the least the ffl and seller could do is counter.
