almost looks like it was never fired and those grips

very nice

The Highway Patrolman, the M28, is a grand revolver and a great example of the way things used to be. Though I certainly appreciate the M27 and its elegance, but there is something appealing in the all business, work horse look of the M28.

Yours seems a particularly good example.
 
Planning a range trip with the 28 this week. N frame weight should be interesting firing 357 loads. even more so with 38 special

I wish I still had my Model 28 Highway Patrolman. It will last you two or three lifetimes, so don't trade it. Unless it's to me, of course. :p
 
I have a 6" 28-2. It handles stout 357's with ease.. like 38's out of an L-frame!

Mine is scary accurate, and in excellent condition. It came with Magnas, but I stashed those away for safe keeping and threw on a set of N-frame factory targets for now. As smooth as it is with mags, the fatter targets work just fine...and I like the looks of them better. The HP is a great shooter and will eat anything you want to feed it, and in large quantities!

Enjoy!





 
Gary, congrats. I assume it's a dash 2? You now own one of Smith and Wesson's finest working revolvers. From your photos I don't see much of a "turn ring" so I assume it has not been fired much. Now get 150 or so rounds of full house .357 Magnum ammo and really start to enjoy that guy.

Great looking holster as well. I'm sure you know this, but be sure to get a real gun-belt if you don't have one; as 44 ounces of N frame can put a strain on any normal belt.

Enjoy that guy.

I have a 28 That makes Saxons look mint... Buuut like him, Its the one that stuck. Whoever owned it and carried it knew his stuff. Its the best trigger on any firearm I own. Lot of love into that battered ol' 28.
