S&W mod 58 vs Mod 27
I have a NIB nickel mod 58, thinking of a for sale posting on GB. Would a clean shooter mod 27 83/8" in nickel be of around equal value? That is what I'm leaning towards, as I have a Mod 57 so I would not be without a .41 mag. The 58 belongs in a collection, too nice to go and bang away with. Opinions? thoughts?
Thanks,

Actually the model 58 carries a higher value as there were fewer of these made than the 57.
The model 57 in nickel and with the 8 3/8" barrel carries a bit of a premium but is still less that the model 58.0 -
Did you say NIB 58 Nickel ?
There were a couple minty ones on the auction side that went for upwords of 2K. So to answer your question, that should easily get you a 27 with 8 3/8, or even a Python.0 -
Typically 8 3/8" barrels - which I happen to like - command a bit lower price. I think the 5" barrel on a Model 27 is one of the higher value lengths.
You may want to drop in on the S & W forum, get some values from them. You'll get alot of attention as soon as you mention the 58 for sale. I can't offer a value on the Model 58, but my guesstimate on the 27(keep in mind I'm in CA, may guess a touch high) would be about $700.00 max? I have to think a 58 covers that and much more.0 -
Where is the S & W forum? Hope this isnt a stupid question. I just picked up a S&W 58, 4" barrel myself and would like to know more about it. 0 -
