Congratulations on a good looking 1! You are sure to enjoy it. My only 28 is a little earlier. (no dash 1960)
Update us after delivery! Bob

Great Looking Gun! Glad you are planning on shooting it. We need a range report.

Pumped as this will spend some time in the deer woods this fall. Will shoot a ton and hope to feel comfortable to 50 yards. Report to come ......

Very nice find. One thing I would note is be careful with that trigger shoe mounted. It may cause safety issues if carried in a tight fitting holster.

Agree on the shoe. I’ll at least try it but it’ll likely not stay.

Great looking revolver if it shoots as good as it looks I feel sorry for any deer you run across out to 50 yards as you will easily get pproficent to that range. Congratulations.

That is a sweet 28! I had a 28-2 and a 28 ND, but ended up only keeping the ND, as it's the same age as me. Your's should still be an S serial 28-2, as mine was a '69, which I think was the last year of the S's, before they started with "N". I like the 6" barrel myself, they balance so well with a fully loaded cylinder. Mine had factory numbered magnas, but I don't shoot them all that well. When looking for targets like yours for mine, I ran across some S&W rosewood grips that fit my hand much better.
Congratulations of finding such a nice one!

Congrats on a great snag. I just bought my first 28-2 with a 4" barrel & it's a joy to shoot. I might just have to put a 6"er on my list.

As mentioned, I shoot my relatively new 4" a LOT. I've also introduced a few new revolver shooters to it and the response is always "love that gun". The natural progression is to add the 6"! Lots of enablers here!

That is a great revolver and it looks to be in great condition too, I love my M28, I understand why you wanted the 6 incher. Nice find.
