Mountain Guns

[Revolvers4Life]

Anyone else a fan of the Smith Mountain guns? I have quite a few of the variations/calibers, but this 25-13 long colt is probably my favorite. Pulled it out to get it ready for the range this weekend

Do you own a 27-2 3-1/2 inch?

What exactly makes it a "Mountain" gun?

It’s just a specific design from Smith and Wesson, pretty much a 4” tapered barrel that was lighter than the heavy barrels but without losing performance while still on a big frame like this N frame. Also have chamfered cylinders and some other small things. Says mountain gun on the side as well.they are great guns

I’ve never had a mountain gun, but I did have a pre lock 629 “backpacker”.

I do have a 3 1/2 inch 27, also have a 4,5, and 6.

27s and 28s are my favorite Smith and Wesson revolvers hands down

Nice! Haven’t had a backpacker ever but have a trail boss which is very similar

Um, I’m gonna kick my own butt for not knowing what I had back in my younger years…

I have a 27-2 3-1/2 nickle unfired and a blued with a little wear.. Wondering what you think they are worth now days? The other one I am having a problem finding much information on is a 27-3 4 inch new in the box. Prices are all over the place. Sorry one more a 66 ss with 3 inch barrel new in the box.
