Picked up my S&W Model 28 just now

Saxon, I should own that 28.

After all, I was "shipped in 1954" myself. :p

In heft and balance and pointability, there is something just right about the 4-inch 28 and the 3.5-inch 27. I do not plan to let mine go.

Lot of love into that battered ol' 28.

There's something about a well worn Highway Patrolman. They just look nasty menacing!

I can't say enough good things about mine. In my hands it is the most consistent and accurate handgun I own. It shoots right were I tell it. The combination of the pencil barrel and tall front blade make an excellent sight picture, IMHO. I prefer all black sights too, so IMO these are the best sights on any of my guns.

I carry mine at times, particularly when I have to go to a nearby town with a relatively high crime rate. My M28 is always with me when I go there, with my 642 riding backup in my pocket.

I carry it IWB on a 1.5" beltman belt in a Lobo Gunleather IWB holster. I like the holster, but it is already wearing out :( . So I have a Milt Sparks Versa Max II on order, I'm excited to give it a try.












My best shooting with my Model 28. 25 Yards, slow double action 2 hand hold unsupported. 1 shot every 5 to 7 seconds. 158 grain RNL and 4.0 grns W231. 3.5" grouping, including 1st two shots (high), after grip adjustment final 4 shots (low) into 1.25" grouping.


 
Arguably one of the loveliest bodies in steel, ever. And as Saxon shows us, a little silver showing through just makes the heart beat faster.
