The Smith & Wesson Model 27 Classic delivers the legendary N-frame power that made this revolver the choice of law enforcement professionals for decades. This 357 Magnum revolver combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing precision to create a reliable sidearm capable of handling both 357 Magnum and 38 Special +P ammunition.
What Makes This Different
Built on Smith & Wesson's robust N-frame platform, the Model 27 Classic features a forged carbon steel construction that withstands the pressures of full-power magnum loads. The deep blue finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing processes. The 4-inch barrel length strikes the optimal balance between accuracy and portability, making it more manageable than longer barrel variants while maintaining excellent ballistic performance.
Key Features
- N-frame construction handles full-power 357 Magnum loads with minimal recoil transfer
- 4-inch carbon steel barrel with deep blue finish for corrosion resistance
- 6-round cylinder capacity with dual caliber capability (357 Mag/38 Spl +P)
- Checkered square butt walnut grips provide secure hold and classic aesthetics
- Traditional double-action/single-action trigger mechanism
- Adjustable rear sight with pinned front sight for precision shooting
- Internal lock system for additional safety when storing
This revolver excels in multiple applications from target shooting to hunting medium game. The 357 Magnum chambering delivers sufficient energy for whitetail deer at reasonable ranges, while 38 Special +P loads offer reduced recoil for extended practice sessions. The carbon steel construction maintains accuracy even after thousands of rounds, and the traditional lockwork provides reliable ignition in adverse weather conditions.
