The Model 27 is built on S&W's carbon steel, large N-frame, with adjustable sights. When first introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1935, it was known as the Registered Magnum. Even though it was introduced in the middle of the Great Depression and was extremely expensive, Smith & Wesson found itself backlogged with orders for the four years that it produced the Registered Magnum. The Kansas City Police Department issued the Registered Magnum to its officers, and many other law enforcement officers across the United States carried the Registered Magnum. In 1939, Smith & Wesson stopped producing the Registered Magnum. It was replaced with the Model 27, which was available with barrel lengths of 3 1/2, 5, 6 1/2, and 8 3/4 inches. Essentially, the Model 27 was still the Registered Magnum, but standardized for ease of production and economy. Model 27s are noted for their durability and reliability.
