$580. I don't care what the books says, I know when I got a deal. Light marking on the grips and just the smallest wear at the end of the end of the barrel. Otherwise I can't find a thing wrong with it.

All the books are behind reality when it comes to gun values. We'd all love to buy our guns for most listed book prices.
You got a great deal on your new 28. Looks good too.

High-Priced Pawn Shop
I've heard of people finding great deals at local gun shops, but that doesn't happen for me. There's one local gun pawn shop that has a lot of rough looking guns at new gun prices. Among these is a Model 28-2 6". Actually this gun doesn't look too bad, but the grip sides aren't matching. One sides is the Magna, the other is like the Magna but slimmer. The cash price is $775 and the card/trade price is $980! Taking sales tax into consideration it would be like $1,053.
I've been stopping in there every few months for a couple years, and that gun is always on the shelf. I know it will never sell at that price. I don't know if you're supposed to haggle or what.

All I can say is around here it's common to haggle just about everything! I've haggled in dept stores and gotten discounts, in a pawn shop, the owners expect a haggle. Worse they can do is say no to your offer. Good luck!

My 28-2 Hp.....circa 1973-1974 (esteemed guessing via SCSW) agreed.....sure is a sweet shooter. Mine gets exercised on what I call "4 inch day" along with my Model 15-3.
The 15-3 goes first.......then the HP.
Kinda like eating some good wings.....then eating more but with Hungarian Red Pepper, or Kick-Butt Habanero sauce!
Like always..............worst day at the range beats the best day at work!

New to me Highway Patrolman
I've posted this on a couple other threads, but thought I should post in the "Ultimate" thread. Bought this last week at LGS, walked in to ask about doing a transfer and the clerk pointed out that there was a "new" S&W in the cabinet and I could take it out and look at it. Knew it was going home with me as soon as I saw it, especially for the $400 price tag on it. Serial (S115xxx) dates it late '54 or early '55. Very little wear and one spot on the cylinder from being left in a holster.

New to Group
I am excited to be joining the group. Never posted before but now it's time. After years of shooting sports, collecting/appreciating a wide variety of handguns, rifles etc, I finally have developed an addiction to the model 28. I was looking for a good vintage N-frame for target shooting, stopped by a few gun stores and saw this: A 6'' 28-3, serial number N957xxx, sold in July 1983 at Ray's Sport Shop in NJ. Complete with all papers it came with, box, tool kit, rod and original unused condition magna? grips. It showed a faint turn line and I think one box was shot through it after purchase, it was cleaned and put away. I had to have it, took it to the range and got an amazingly tight group. I love the utilitarian bare bones aesthetic of the gun, the blasted top strap and front frame, the pragmatic brushed finish that shows no finger prints and which can as easily be fixed if necessary. It has a nice heft, it points well, great balance and feels rock solid, tight and really well fitted together. For my personal taste I dare say I'd pick it over the 27 models every time. About the addiction: I just bought a second one, an unfired 28-2. It seems that whenever I am going to see an outstanding condition model 28 at a good deal, I won't be able to resist. Never had that before.

Awesome story...bit of a thread/post revival, but I couldn't help not commenting on that. That 28 has definitely become a family heirloom.

this is a long running thread, great, eh?
I'm fortunate enough to have (at the moment) a couple of 28- 2's.
6 in. bbl, original box, docs, & a SAT. ( I don't think the SAT is original) Stocks are numbered to the gun.
SN: N1256X
4 in. BBL, no box etc. I'm guessing the stocks aren't original as they are stamped (in ink) July 1985
I carry the 4 in. occasionally, 6 in. just back and forth to the range.
SN: N17165X

Here are 2 pics I have here. The one in the box shows the loading side and the thumb area on the grip. I posted the pic of the other side to show they are in fact in very good condition. What about the barrel to cylinder clearance?

I just bought another pre model 5 screw highway patrol, and from the sel. number it is a first year! I have another first year 4in posted in this thread somewhere. the one I got today is a 6in I an not into the 6in but a first year? no why I was going to pass it up. the real negative is someone had the brilliant insight to change the grips and put on some beautiful rubber Hogue's on it. I will post some photos in the morning.........

I had to look back at older post to see your original questions; I don't think you'd want to modify those stocks for speedloader clearance. They're probably worth at least $200.
You should be able to find the proper N Frame Speedloader Target grips for about the same, maybe less.
If you don't want to buy another set, you may be able to swap someone for them. I think I have some available, although they're packed up right now because I'm waiting on my house to be completed.
As for the B/C gap; I think it should be between like .004" to .008". Have you measured yours? If so, what is it?

GA 1911:
Very nice. Thank you for sharing. First year production, and they look like new!! Good grief!!! With the poster, a very powerful, but restrained presentation. I have two also, but they are well worn shooters. Those are two beauty queens (well, maybe a little on the beefy side for beauty queens, but you know what I mean)!!!
Best Regards, Les

I don't think I've posted mine here. I was looking for a K-frame one day and saw this in the used case, and knew I had to have it. I should have talked them down in price, but I had buy-it-itis. I think I paid $650 for it. It sleeps in my nightstand.
The s/n puts it at 1978, in the disco era. It came with Pachmayr grips, but I found some aftermarket wood grips to improve the looks.

From what i can tell in the SCSW 3rd edition it would have been made in either 1968 or 1969 my guess is late 1968. We all love pictures of S&W revolvers.

Information for the Database & Questions
I have two "S" serial 28-2's...I don't think either will expand any important
knowledge or category...(I have posted pic's previously), they are:
S 272878: I had seen some info much earlier in this thread where someone (now a banned member) had one only 37 numbers different than this one. They claimed that one was part of a purchase by Wisconsin Highway Patrol. There are no extra or special markings of any sort on this one (found LNIB in Northern WI), so I wonder could it have been originally purchased as a WI HP Highway Patrolman(I would like that!)- may pursue a S&W letter eventually. (4" barrel, numbered Magnas, plain black ramp FS)
S 302980 This one looks pretty high along in the "S" range for those I see documented in this thread. Also 4" barrel, Magnas, plain black ramp.
For general information, and because it is in a very interesting range, I also recently got a Model 27 no dash...it has a 4 screw frame/ 6.5" Barrel/10-groove front and backstraps;RR/WO sights/ and diamond target stocks. This 4 Screw Model 27 Serial is: S 186073
Great Thread!

New 28-2
Just got this yesterday. High S Ser#. A couple small dings but otherwise very nice. Except the stocks. I would like to replace them. What should have come on this gun from the factory?

[QUOTE=Allen-frame;776489],Ultimate Highway Patrolman Thread After searching for, and reading almost every Highway Patrolman thread,(there are currently 24 pages when using the search function). I found myself longing for a thread where one could go for all things H.P.
This thread would ideally include serial number ranges, pictures of members guns,including Ser.#s(excluding digits
as preferred) , any info received in letters , and, of course, plenty of opinions.
Kind of a Highway Partolman database, where newbies and all could be directed to, to answer questions.
April, 1954, Highway Patrolman introduced, Ser.# S103500
,8,427 produced in 1954,
Sometime,late 1956 to 1957 the upper sideplate screw deleted at approx. Ser.# S171584 (earlier 4 screw N frames have been noted,but this is generally conceded to be the dividing line.)_ Al
The time between when the upper sideplate screw was deleted and the model number was stamped is when the
4 screw non-model marked N frames were produced. By my estimate, there were approximately 11,000 n.m.m. 4 screws
produced throughout the various models including ,,357 Magnum ,Highway Patrolman ,38/44 Heavy Duty ,44 hand ejector ,1950 Target models , and 1955 Target models. ,How many of these were Highway Patrolman , who only knows.
But do keep your eye out for this scarce variation and let us know whenever you find one
I may have a pre model 28 4-screw that you mention. Actually "did" have but I gave it to one of my sons a couple of years ago for Christmas. I will get him to verify the SN and that it is a 4-screw and get back to you today.

I believe your 4 Screw NMM Highway Patrolman makes a total of 10 so far including both 4 and 6 inch barrels. Has anyone recorded the ones in this thread?

Thanks for that info Gunnison. I did not know these were so rare. I personally have no idea if anyone has recorded the ones on this thread or where they would even be recorded.

I looked at a 28-2 this morning and like a dummy didn't take any photos. It must have been a salesman's sample. It was nickle plated with flats milled on each side of the barrel and in script on the left side it had Smith and Wesson and on the other side the caliber, (I think). There was one on this forum several months ago and I can't find it now. I have searched with no luck. Can anybody put a finger on it and let me know where it's at, or maybe deleted?
Thanks in advance,
Leon

That is a great looking HP!! I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as the rest of us enjoy ours!! Remember, as pretty as these guys are, they were made to be shot!! Solid, heavy, durable, and accurate.
Best Regards, Les

28-2 Rubber grips
Did the 28-2 ever come from factory with rubber/Pacmyer grip? Was there a S&W logo? Thanks

Firearms that have been carried and fired, basically used for what they are intended, are more interesting than otherwise. Yours fits that category.

No not quite. The gun frame was a project a friend of mine never finished before he passed. His family gave it to me. It was parkerized over some pitting. The rest of the revolver I scrounged up to complete it. It shoots good.

I bet it means a lot to you and I'm sure your friend is looking down, happy to know you continued his project and have it in good working order. Cherish and enjoy it.
I have an old .22 and shotgun a buddy of mine owned, his wife gave them to me when he passed. I refinished the stocks, cleaned them up and have them in good working order. They are of little monetary value but I'm happy to have em, every time I look at them or shoot them I think of my good friend Ed and the days we spent plinking on his farm.
