S&W 66 or 27: You have to choose...

If I were a collector and wanted a safe queen, I'd pick the Model 27. But for daily business, I look for a Model 586 lik this:

Or ike this:

I've been the Model 27, Model 19, and Python routes. These have proven to me to be the best .357 Magnum DA revovler to come out yet.

Now, if it were a Ruger SA in .44 or .45.............

Both are nice but the model 27 is based on the original .357 S&W revolver, and has been a winner since it's inception much like the 1911.
 
I typically read every response before I post, because I don't think it adds much to any discussion when I don't do my part to see what's been discussed. However, the throw down is right there in black & white in the first post, so I'll respond in kind.

Man, get the #$%*@ out of my way or I'll knock you over... I want that four inch Model 66 and that is the proper price. It's not a steal, but if the revolver is clean and the timing works to my (strict) standards, I'm buying it before you can start a TFL thread about the Model 27 you found on a table sitting next to a bare spot where my 66 was laying mere moments ago. :cool:

I find the N-frame guns to be overly large and unwieldy. I'd like to own a 27 or 28 because I love Smith & Wesson revolvers and who wouldn't want a beefy, hardcore .357 Magnum much like the original? But if I have to pass up a Model 66 to get it, I'm not interested.
 
I would be very reluctant to spend all the money I had for a Model 27. I would buy the Model 66 then spend some more for ammunition. You would still have some money left over for bills.
