Finally brought her home....

[GunsnRovers]

Well I finally got to bring her home and get out to the range.

She's a Model 28 (no dash) circa 1960 ~ 1961 by the serial #. Marvelous trigger. Mechanically in great shape. Shoots better then I do.

Everyone should have a nice wheel gun in the collection. Now I just need a nice blued Model 36 to keep her company.

I paid $399 which is high by most standards, but here in the PRK we take what we can get. Old S&W (and most other guns) are only available if they are all ready in the state and must be a PPT or consignment purchase. I can only read and weep over the deals I see on line and in print.

Hello and congratulations on your M28. These are just, plain, good ol' guns in my view. I've got one, an old 4-screw that's in like new condition. It continues to be a favorite.

Best.

One of my 27s sleeps with a 36.
Was blessed with another I frame not long ago.

27 and 28 are serious shootin guns. Sweet actions and tack drivers with ammo that they like.

Enjoy your nice new friend.

Like my friends Steve Camp and C.R. Sam, I just wanted
to extend my congratulations. The S&W model 28's are
my all-time favorites as well. What a beautiful sight!

Best Wishes,

Jeff, how do you like those Hogue wood grips on your 28?

I am thinking about a set of wood grips for my blued 29 Classic.

Mighty pretty!

I like them a lot.

Easy to shoot .38 & .38+P's. Hot .357's weren't fun after a while. Hogue rubber grips would have been easier, but these are so much prettier to look at.

I just got back from the local gun show in Costa Mesa, CA. It is damn hard to find .38+P LSWC 158gr HP's. Everyone has JHP's. Found one box of Winchester in the entire show.

Just got back from the show myself. Been trying to find a Model 57. None there that I could see. That 28 is mighty tasty. BTW, the show seems to be getting larger since the Great Western Show at the Pomona Fairgrounds was "outlawed."
