This is only the third 28 I have seen here and the other two were closer to $1000.

I love 357 n-frames. However, $1,000 is an insane price. Model 28s were going for $300 ten years ago, as PDs were transitioning to glocks. I've bought two in the last five years, one for $320 and one for $450. Even gunbroker has some that go for under $500, but shipping and transfer can eat that up, and you can feel the one at the shop and do some testing to make sure it's in decent shape.

The guy who was selling the 28-2 also had two other revolvers I was looking at. A model 60 snub in not so great shape for $499 and a model 586 in decent shape and after market grips for $699. Not too familiar with either of those models.

Not sure of the snub, but the 586 is on the high end unless it's minty and has box & docs with it. Those are L-frame blued 357s. Once again, they were being blown out 5-8 years ago when all the police traded in their revolvers for glocks.
