The Smith & Wesson Model 27 Classic is a six-shot N-frame revolver chambered in .357 Magnum and rated for .38 Special +P. It has a 6.5-inch barrel, a 12-inch overall length and a 45-ounce weight. The bright blued finish sits on carbon steel, and the checkered square-butt walnut grip completes the traditional look. The revolver works in both double-action and single-action fire.

This is a full-size revolver for range work, target practice and field carry where a larger gun is preferred. The 45-ounce weight and long barrel make for steady aiming during deliberate shooting. The walnut grip gives a classic feel, and the .38 Special rating adds a second cartridge option for the same cylinder. Its blued finish and wood grip suit a shooter who prefers a classic revolver over a modern polymer model.
