Boomsticks: They don't make 'em like they used to...

Marko at The Munchkin Wrangler picked up a gorgeous S&W Model 27-2 from us the other day.

I've handled lots of high-end wheelguns over the years: Colt Pythons, the primo single actions from Freedom Arms, even a Korth or two. Every time I play with a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum (what these guns were called before S&W went to using prosaic model numbers in 1957,) I wonder what the fuss is about in regard to those lesser guns.
