Your Model 28 should be 100% reliable.
I had an identical problem with my 3" 65, which I got police surplus from CDNN.

Some genius had cut off the strain screw then screwed it all the way in, so that it LOOKED stock. I'd get random light hits, sometimes 2-3 a cylinder. Fortunately I found this out when I took it to the range SPECIFICALLY to test the reliability before I started carrying it.

My smith and I finally figured it out and replaced the butchered screw with a stock part, after which it'd been 100%.
