Was reworking my gun list, and firmly decided on a M27 with a 4 inch barrel instead of the 5. I like that look the best and it fits my varietal niche perfectly. However, in research I find that a 4" 27 that is P&R was only produced 1978 to about 1980 when they began running out of pinned barrels. I want a blue one, and apparently most of the ones that do show themselves are nickel.
To my surprise, this exact gun just came up for sale via Gunbroker. I can probably *literally* afford to get it, but I may have to offload a gun or two that I could replace in the future as long as it doesn't bid sky high.
I know this gun is among the most, if not THE most, uncommon of regular production 27's. My question is, is this particular gun so hard to find that I might wait a very long time for another to come up and I should grab it while the chance is here? I don't want to kick myself and end up waiting years or something for another one to come around...
