Bought a Model 28-3 Highway Patrolman
Local gunstore known for nice older stuff, rare stuff, and just neat in general stuff has a 4" Highway Patrolman/Model 28 with adjustable sights for a decent price. Looks to be well used but cared for.
Salesguy was nice but I'm fairly sure mostly uneducated about it. I don't know much about them either but he had my BS meter's needle wavering on the high side as he blathered about it.
Been thinking about a .357 and this one looked nice. I was looking for something that could handle heavy .357 loads all day, every day without trouble and was thinking about a Ruger GP100 or maybe a 686 but this thing felt nice in the hand and I am a fan of older guns with "visual history".
So tell me about them. How to ID them, variances to look for, any issues/problems, and whatever I should know in general please.
