The model 27 has always been the flagship of the Smith & Wesson line. It all started when the 357 Magnum cartridge was first developed and in 1935 S&W manufactured a handmade hand crafted revolver for this new first ever magnum handgun cartridge. Each one was special ordered exactly how you wanted it and sent to your front door from the factory.
The hammer strength can be lessened or increased with just a screwdriver. The Python requires a change in the V-spring. I had one that suffered light firing pin strikes
My wife must be right (there's a surprise). I'm probably a cheapskate. I wanted a Model 27, but didn't run across one that was affordable. I won a bid on a 28-2 last week. It should arrive at my FFL this week. It will be my Model 625's shooting partner at the range.
For those of us with XXL hands, an N-frame is just more comfortable to hold and shoot. Yesterday at the range I shot my Model 625 and one of my Model 10's. I had to tuck my pinky under the grip when I shot the Model 10. I was able to fit all of my fingers onto the Model 625. That's why I bought the Model 28. I want a 38/357 that I can fit all of my fingers onto.
