Nice! How's the recoil on a .45 colt. Never shot one before.

Sweet.
A friend had one and loved it; I always had a fondness for the 25 in 45 Colt, but never had one.
In my opinion, one of S&W's best models.

Beautiful gun. I find that the photos on the S&W classics never do them justice because you cannot possibly see how amazing the bluing is just by looking at a photo. I just bought a mint M27 classic from another member that I am now waiting for. I opted for the .357 magnum only because of ammo issues. I really wanted a .41 magnum but couldn't find any ammo or reloading supplies. Regardless of caliber, a "classic" S&W with the blued finish is essential to any revolver collection. There simply is no substitute.
BTW-for those that are not familiar with these, the discoloration on the hammer and trigger is from "case-hardening". I cannot tell you how many times I've read new owners or non-owners lament the fact that they don't like it and believe it to be a possible defect. Some actually remove it (big mistake!). Look it up and appreciate case-hardening for what it is. Then it will become a thing of beauty to your eye.

I have a 4" Model 25 in 45 Colt and a 1955 in 45 ACP. Recoil is soft, guns are accurate. - dan
