Show off your unusual/modified Model 28 thread!
Thought I would start a thread where people with unique Highway Patrolmen could show off their Guns. For example: Barrels longer than 6" or shorter than 4 inches / chrome, nickel or engraved finishes / Caliber conversions or any other oddities or factory rarities y'all have out there!

Here's my contribution.
Took my model 28, threw away the frame & cylinder and screwed on one from a model 27!

One of the fifty plus 28-2s shipped in July 1972 with a factory brushed nickel finish. Target stocks are period correct, but not original as the revolver was shipped with checked Magna stocks.

01shm, thanks for the photo. The 28 appears to have been chrome plated and your photo is a good example of the difference in color between nickel and chrome as the 58 appears to be a nickel gun. I imagine plating was very popular in AL to combat the heat and humidity.

You are correct John, the 58 was returned to S&W in the 1965 range for a nickel plating as the star* would indicate.
The 28 was chrome plated and at least they didn't plate the Trigger and hammer, but managed to plate the Rear blade assy
