Here's a 'pre-27' from circa 1954.
I felt guilty about my recent foray into 'Rugerworld', so I caught up with member dant at the Dalton show, then followed Drew's suggestion and came home with this gun and had Ramen noodles for lunch! :lol:
It'll be a real good shooter...appears unfired since it left Springfield, but decades of sloppy storage gave the right side a few freckles.
Thanks, Dan!

Don...Congrats on obtaining a nice example of S&W's ".357" Magnum. You can always count on Dan T. to come up with something extra nice. .

Hmmmm,

Maybe it's time to start totally ingratiating myself to Dant... :mrgreen:

Beautiful gun, they simply don't make a better .357 Magnum then the

Model of 1950 ~ Right, SaxonPig.....? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Great gun! I also have a ’54. Since this gun is not perfect you can get out there and use it as intended! I love shooting mine.

 

[SaxonPig]

Are you going to leave it like that?

 

[Guest]

Absolutely not....

There are no "Pre-27's" ~ only named guns.......:mrgreen:

Uh Giz....

I think we all appreciate your enthusiasm and desire to remain engaged in the conversation, but I believe the Good Doctor was referring to the stocks on the revolver in the photo....

I've often felt myself that the 3 1/2" 27's with Target Stocks were a little ungainly....

Drew,

Yeah I knew that...just being my usual opportunistic self :mrgreen:

Giz, you keep confusing me with someone who objects to the "pre-27" or "357 Model of 1950" designation. Neither bothers me in the least.

The only misused term that grinds on my psyche is "pencil barrel" and I don't even know why. I can't explain it but some reason I just cringe when I hear or read that.

 

[DHENRY]

SP and Drew,
Point well-taken on the 'ungainly'...
I might have Patrick Grashorn make a thick pair of stags for it, then add a high-polish Tylet T-grip.
I only find the 'ungainly' thing an issue on guns I don't use as shooters.
IMHO, the postwar magnas on a magnum handgun ( that you actually use) are like a screen door on a submarine. :lol:

Don,
Stags and a Tyler-T? Excellent! :clap:

(can you tell I'm a sucker for that combo? :lol: )

 

[dant]

hey guys, thanks for the kind words, I knew Don would like it when he actually "laid hands on and held it......" Just glad it got a GOOD home and was able to "pass it on..." I could not "pass" up on this gun, even though I got it with a fever of 104 degrees and pneumonia to boot, ended up in the hospital 45 minutes later...but I did it, though I did "forget" to get the 'other' gun, and boxed model 13....oh well, what can I say :?

 

[Ralph G]

Thats a keeper Don !!

Very nice !!

 

[Hammerdown]

Hello Don
That sure is a beauty. I bet it would Bark with a shot of Blue Dot or IMR-2400 Powder shot through it...Let us know how well she shoots and groups.. Hammedown

 

[DHENRY]

Thanks for the kind remarks.
Friday is 'range day', and I'll report back on whether or not any paper gets punctured!
:lol:

[Poohgyrr]

Excellent! Those really are classic S&W's. Congrats on my favorite .357 Magnum.
