The present Miss Universe, formerly Miss South Africa, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, is a prime example. Check her out on YouTube, where you can see the entire pageant, as well as the entire Miss South Africa pageant, which she won. She is a remarkable young woman, very quick - witted, articulate, and easygoing. Doesn't seem at all stuck up, despite her beauty and wealth, which seems considerable. (You can also see her house and cars on YouTube.) And I like her Afrikaans (Cape Dutch) accent!

Miss A. seems a stuffier, more PC pageant.

If a Model 28 is Miss America in a Corvette, a Model 27 is Miss Universe in a Mercedes-Benz.

I've owned both. (Guns, not girls.) I think it's a good comparison.

But you have a really nice M-28, with better bluing than some.
Frankly, I wouldn't sell it, even to get a M-27. I'd buy the M-27, too. Seeing as this is about guns, not girls, you wouldn't risk a bigamy charge if you have both.

BTW, I found the N-frame .357's much easier to shoot really well when they have six-inch barrels. In your case, that M-28 looks so good that I think I'd keep it for average wear and buy a six-inch M-27, for wilderness wear and hunting. But I wouldn't push a .357 by using it on deer or javelina or coyotes much beyond 75 yards. And closer is better, unless you stumble on a marijuana patch and the owners open fire from a distance.
WOW! Javelinas & marijuana patches! I doubt I'll find either one in Atl, OR Miss America!! A Corvette yes. And it gets driven just like the 28-2 gets shot.


And yessir, I already own "Miss Universe" a 5" 27-2. NOT for wilderness wear.
