I chose this model 28-2. The previous owner and I believe it hasn't been fired outside the factory, just knocked around in a safe for about the last 50 years. I don't know what I'm waiting for it's just an old HIGHWAY PATROLMAN! Attachments:

Pretty much the same gun except for finish, you will like it a lot. I bought one new in the blue box for $93 in 1967-68, can't remember, what a fun gun! Mostly shot 13.5 grs of old 2400 with the Keith bullet in 38 special cases. Do NOT start with this load in your gun. Good luck with your new toy!

EXCEPT FOR THE SHORT CYLINDER, A N FRAME SMITH IS A PROPER PLATFORM FOR THE 357. MY 6" MODEL 28 IS ON PERMANENT LOAN TO MY OLDEST SON, MY ONLY OTHER 28 CAME TO ME AS A CLEMENTS 38-40 CONVERSION, AND I HAVE SEVERAL 27's. SHOOT AND ENJOY YOUR MODEL 28, IT IS A GREAT GUN.

Maybe weird but.
To me most S&W revolvers look great when in pristine or light use condition.
But the model 28 and model 10 look their very best with an "experienced" finish.
Yeah , weird huh.

I tend to prefer the 28, guess it's my practical streak. I passed on a still-NIB 28-2 for $700 a couple years ago that I still regret.

When I stumbled on mine I hemmed and hawed with myself in the shop and the dealer said "you're not gonna see many of those" and I pulled out the wallet.  |

I missed a chance on one of those here just recently. It was in a small pawn shop with a fair price.I debated on it for a couple of hours, but it was gone when I got back to get it.
That weekend I was at a friend's place and he says, " guess what I got this week..."

Looks like a great addition to any shooting collection.
Kudos...

when i was a kid, i saw a 28 with a 6" barrel and had to have it!
like i said, i was a kid.. putting myself through college but even a 28 (which was about half the price of a 27 with a fancy box) was out of reach.....
now days i casually keep one eye open for one at the gun shows...
just in case...
