Nice, some day I hope to add to my lone S&W revolver. They are just fantastic wheelguns.

There is just something special about a nice looking wheel gun! Maybe it's because all us old timers grew up with them.

Gotta love those S&W N-frames. Pachmayrs are the best accessory ever invented for the magnum revolver.

Bushmaster, is that a 3.5" or 4" barrel on your gun?

My first handgun was a similar vintage Model 27-2 over 35 yrs. ago. I still have it and it still shoots great. You can't go wrong with a good N frame .357.

Wow does that look like my 28-2!!! AND I did the exact same thing. Love the way the Pachy's feel. Took the originals off to keep them safe. I also have a M19-4 (.357 Magnum), M48 (.22 Magnum), and a Colt Diamondback (.38 Special). Love my wheel guns.....
