I don't think I've posted this one here. I've had other Model 28's, but sold/traded them off. This time I traded into this one.





S/N is in the N-5971XX range, which if I read my book right is in the 78-80 time frame. If it's been fired it hasn't been very often.

I recently picked up a Mod 28-2 4inch SN N25399X, dating assistance needed. Came with box, dox, and tools. Purportedly un fired since factory. P&R. SWAG on possible value. Pics as soon as Tech support gets home. (Wife)

Thanks in advance

Very probable 1976. I have a N2402XX shipped Dec. 1975 and N2685XX shipped Jan. 1977.

S226611 would have been 1961-1962 according to SCSW.

As it sits today with an old set of ivories and a 4" barrel that has been re-bored to 41 caliber. It leaves this week to get the short barrel installed, the cylinder rechambered to 41 Special and engraving by Brian Powley. I probably won't see it back for nearly 2 years.

I think yours has to be 1958. A lettered one with slightly lower SN is 1958. Mine is S1764** and I'm thinking it must be 1958 as well. It's also A NMM 4 screw.

Hi all. Ive been a lurker here for sometime and since I just acquired a model 28-2 serial # S275804 I figured I'd throw it in the mix here. Please forgive my poor quality phone pic.

Picked this 28-2 up at a local shop who just scored a large estate.
Serial # N9xxx
It came with the Target grips, but I replaced them with the Magna style. Here's "before & after"

Later replaced the magna grips with a set of Altamont Classic Panel grips...even more comfortable to my hands!

I got this one home a few days ago. S/N is N836XX, which put it around 1970 or so I guess. The stocks are Altamont. It was a "tad" rough looking when I got it, but the price was right (<$500.00) and I thought I could clean it up and make it presentable.

Before





After cleanup.





I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I'll get to it soon.

Just got this one home tonight, out of layaway jail at a local pawn shop. How did I do for my first wheel gun purchase? At 650 otd with five boxes of 357 and one box of 38 special.
Still needs to get cleaned up but it seems to have been fired very little if at all for a 41 year old gun. I’ll get some better pics once it’s cleaned up.

Default Just picked up a 28-2

Just picked this one up. N118xxx checks to be 1973? Grips aren't original but it's a shooter, which is what I wanted. A bit of character is always good IMO.

I finally bought a couple of model 28's, so I can now post some iron up in this thread too. I bought both off GB at the end of last year, but I just got back in from work and picked them up yesterday evening. After cleaning them up last night, here they are.

First, my 4" barrel gun, serial S317xxx


And my 6" barrel gun, serial N44xxx

Here is my contribution to the cause, N561162. A 4” barreled revolver built in 1979(?). I made some alterations to it but the chassis was pure M28-2.

1958 with forum member-made grips and S&W Border Patrol holster

Edited to add: got my letter, and contrary to all information for nearby serial numbers, it is a 1957

I recently picked up this model 28-2 with a letter of authenticity that states that it shipped from the factory in 1979 to the NY State Police with a plane ramp sight. It also stated that the white outline rear and red ramp front, which the gun has, were added later, and that the NY state Police were often bringing their guns to the factory for special work. The gun is marked NYSP. It has a smooth trigger face and a great d/a trigger pull. It is in pristine shape.

Picked this one up today. N124xx (1970 I suppose). Faint turn line and handling marks. Side plate was very tight which isn't a bad thing.

While the magnas are original and number to the gun, I thought it might handle a bit better with some targets. Not finding what I wanted on eBay but ran across these striking Thai grips. They're some sort of very heavy hardwood that balances the gun nicely. That, and a Ren Wax rubdown and this plain Jane 28-2 looks pretty sharp!

Here's a couple of pics of the 28-2 I recently acquired. It is an S prefix from 1965, and came with the original box, vapor paper, and unopened tool set. It also has the original invoice from the purchase in 1965. The targets are original as listed on box label, but are not numbered to the gun. I have been looking for one for a while, but have been unsuccessful until now. Very pleased with the purchase. A big thank you to forum member Bamabiker for sending me a spare black disk that was missing from the right side grip.

Will Smith and Wesson provide a historical letter for your gun and do you have to pay for it ? Would be curious to see the original purchase info on a Model 28-2.

28-2 with combats. Purchased with non original magnas so I added some combats for shooting.

The Smith and Wesson Historical Foundation now issues letters for S&W hand ejectors.
Yes, there is a fee for the service.

Got this last week. First HP. 28-2 serial S276xxx. So 66 or 67 is my best guess. Wash. State Patrol marked. Looks heavily used as there is finish loss on the barrel and cylinder. Not abused (I hope). Not sure if the target grips are original, but I guess.

Here is my Model 28-2 with serial number N85054. It's a shooter and definitely no Collectors piece.

Here are a couple of 6-inchers I picked up a few months ago. I guess it is only fitting that they also get posted in the "Mother-Of-All" Model 28 threads.

A brace of 28-2 HIGHWAY PATROLMANS

Great price. That's getting dang close to J-frame Airweight pricing.

Have you checked for matching grip s/n yet?

Don't make us hold our breath for pics!

I only have one M28, my 1978 6" -2.
It was wearing these Pachmayr grips when it was given to me.



I was also given the original Magna stocks that came on the gun.



Then I added a nice set of Target stocks.



And now it rests on my nightstand.

It has spent its entire life in that holster except when I has it drawn from the holster to shoot rabbits.

Here is one to add to the 4 screw non MN data base. Picked it up at the local show this past weekend. Shipped sometime in 57? HP's are very seldom seen in this part of the country, so I jumped at the chance to own this beauty.
