Pawn shop Highway Patrolman
Found a Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman in one of my regular pawn shops today. It looks like it was bought new, never carried or fired, but indifferently stored in a holster so there are a few rust spots. It locks up as tight as any S&W I have ever held, has original Magna stocks (matching numbers) and should make a great shooter. The S292xxx serial number makes it 1967 or '68.
For $350 out the door in 2021 I'll accept a few rust spots.

In this era of high prices it is nice to see a deal now and then. You got that one for less than half of what I'd expect to see them selling for where I shop; maybe well less than half given the four inch barrel and S serial number. Well done.

Thanks all. This particular shop has been a happy hunting ground on my regular route for a few years. In the last 3 years or so stopping in there, in addition to the M28, I have bought a 3" Model 657 for under $700, an ANIB Glock 31 for $400, a Colt Model M (aka 1903) for $400 and a pre model 10 for about $300. The 2 N frames were both great deals, but the others were at least pretty good.

Very nice! No, it's finish is not perfect and I guess no box or papers, so you have a really nice shooter there.

You should have bought 2 of them at that price. I have not seen a price that low in close to 15 years if not longer. Good for you.

I bought my first 6" M28-2 for $420 out the pawnshop door in 2012. I thought that was a deal... It wasn't one of those pawn shops in Smyrna, was it?

things are higher just down the road here in Florida. $700.00 would be a good buy here.
