My first handgun was a 1968 28-2, for the back breaking price of 101.00 new. I sold it a few years later, and have not had one in 50 years. Pretty much stuck to K frames. Well, I just purchased a lightly used 28-2 ( 1975) from a fellow forum member, and I must say, that there is a special distinct feel when you grip an N frame, and listen to it lock up. Just glad I got another one. I do have a 23 YO N frame 29-5, but have not shot it since a couple days after I got it. But boy do I like the feel of my 28
