Default Minty clean 28-2 4"

I was so very fortunate to find this 28-2 from an older gentleman. It is in superb shape for its age.

That looks about as new as they get. Very nice find. Hard to tell from the photos but if the serial number is N7XXXXX it would date to 1980.

I bought one new in 1977 after a guy tried to break in my home at 3:00am. I shoot it from time to time and it’s still in pristine condition. In the mid 80’s I sold it to my younger brother when I bought a new Python. I paid close to $300 for the 6” blue Python and when the prices hit $1500 I sold it and talked my brother into selling my 28-2 back to me. I’m really happy to have it back and will not sell it again.

My Model 28 is as accurate as any firearm that I have. My first revolver bought on a lark. It is a great 357.
