thinking of trading a glock for a s&w model 27

[Tyler-The-Piker]

wasn't really in the market for another revolver but I was offered a nice S&W model 27 (4" SS) for my Glock 22C.
I would almost feel like a fool if I didn't do the trade. am I wrong? I have Glocks, I can get another 22C. but I have no smith revolvers (just Ruger), and well, the 27 is a good one...right?

If it's a revolver in very good shape, I would be all over it.

If it's no keyhole I'd take it. Keyhole... just can't do it.

in the pic he sent, there's no keyhole above the cylinder release.
(thanks for the info/help with that BBI's)

From the financial perspective, you would be well ahead, but If you don't want it, then I guess there is no point.

...I don't care about the money...just lookin for a new/different handgun. I like Glocks. I like revolvers. I've never owned a S&W revolver. I was surprised when I was offered a nice 27. I think I'm gonna do the trade and I think I'll have the 27 for a lot longer than I normally hold on to Glocks (dime a dozen)

i like glocks, i hate revolvers...but i'd be on that deal like ugly on hillary clinton!

The model 27 is either going to be blued or nickel. The more modern 627 was a stainless version of the model. Either way, in five years a decent Model 27 will be worth more and a Glock will likely be worth(less)

it was nickel.
and I may have jinxed it by starting this thread lol
dangit!
we were supposed to meet over 30min ago and he didn't show
(luckily our meeting spot was 3 minutes from the house)

 

[Tyler-The-Piker]

you know what?! the more I look at the pics he sent me, the more I'm convinced it's a model 19. I'm no expert but I think the guy is either a scam artist or he doesn't even know what he has lol oh well...win some, lose some.

Model 19 is nothing to sneeze at either, but I think most of them are blued.
