About Real S&W M27 
The S&W Model 27 is a revolver that holds a truly legendary status in firearms history, primarily because it was the very first handgun ever created for the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge when it was introduced in 1935. At that time, it was not initially called the Model 27 but was known as the Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum, often referred to by collectors as the "Registered Magnum." This original version was remarkable because it was essentially a custom-order firearm; customers could specify details like barrel length in quarter-inch increments, the type of grips, the finish, and the sight configuration, and each gun came with a registration certificate. This level of quality and personalization made it an immediate success among elite shooters and law enforcement, despite its high cost during the Great Depression, and it famously became the sidearm of General George S. Patton, who carried one with ivory grips.
From a design perspective, the Model 27 is built on Smith & Wesson's large "N-frame," a robust platform necessary to safely contain the high pressure of the new .357 Magnum round. One of its most distinctive and enduring aesthetic features is the fine checkering, or knurling, machined onto the top strap of the frame, which was originally intended to reduce glare and remains a hallmark of its premium heritage. A practical advantage of its chambering is that it can also safely fire the milder and more economical .38 Special cartridge, offering great versatility for both powerful defense and more comfortable target practice.
In 1957, S&W officially assigned it the model number 27, and it remained in continuous production with various engineering updates until 1994. Due to its enduring popularity, the company later reintroduced it as the Model 27 Classic, which combines the original's revered design and carbon steel construction with modern manufacturing, typically offering barrel lengths of 4 inches and 6.5 inches.
