Hard to pass up...pawnshop find.
1976 vintage Model 28-2.
About as clean as they come. No visible wear.
Very faint turn line. Lock up like a vault.
Was wearing the smooth Targets I had
some magnas layin around.

Hard to pass up a good deal, they are getting rare as hens teeth. I just stumbled into a 27-3 for $800 and had the nerve to ask the guy if he would go any lower.....and he did. I walked out with the 27 and went and bought a few lotto tickets since it was apparently my only lucky day.
That's a beautiful 28. Is it going to ride in the safe or are you going to put it through it's paces?

Very nice find! It probably did not come with the Targets from the factory but, you never know. Congrats

begins with 4.

Yeah, the N Frames always pull my pants down and I don't own a shoulder holster.

Congratulations! Looks like you got a really, really nice one. Just my opinion, but I'd put those targets back on it. They appear to be in excellent condition, just like your gun

I certainly would have picked it up myself! When it comes to pawn shops we are challenged in my area. I have RARELY seen a Smith worth buying. Enjoy your 28! Bob

So did my former girlfriend...except now I call her my wife 
An N-frame will pack just fine on the hip with the right rig. And pants that fit in the first place

A 6 inch model 28 was the very first new S&W I bought back in the 70s. Have many more Smiths now and enjoy them all.

Very nice find. The 28-2 4" was my first S&W wheel gun a couple of years ago. It started my revolver love and I appreciate them more than before.
