Adios from Arizona Hey Ayoob,

I bought it sometime in the 1970's in Yakima Washington, at a store now long gone. It's been fired a few times (a few boxes), is in good shape by my eye. I think I've seen one on GunsAmerica, not cheap. About like a 4" Python... I sold my 6" Combat Magnum prior to buying this pistol, to a friend, for some unfathomable reason. At least I get to look at it once in a while. Sorry I sold it. Also sorry I sold that long barrel Abilene .44 Magnum I bought in the early 70's. Only sold two of my guns, and both sales were a mistake... Good L:uck with your search Fred Adams Kennewick, Wa Mr. Ayoob – I have a S&W .357 Model 27 with 3.5 inch barrel.
