S&W Model 27-2 / 4 inch Barrel

["DoubleAction"]

From the very beginning, Smith & Wesson understood the importance of building a Combat Revolver of superior strength to handle the energy of the .357 magnum. The introduction of the Registered .357 Magnum on the S&W N Frame, in 1935, remains a landmark in handgun history. The S&W Model 27 picked up where the Registered 357 magnum left off with it's designation Model Number. From today's standards of modern handguns, those features of the Model 27 would not be found in a production grade handgun.....The 4 inch, with the counter sunk cylinders & pinned barrel, was only made for a couple of years.
