I have several Model 28's (4" & 6") and a pair of 3" GP-100's (blue & stainless). You will get tired of shooting .357 ammo long before the Model 28 does. The GP-100's will also handle lots of .357 ammo without complaint. My GP-100's have had over 5,000 rounds of .357, mostly 125gr, put thru them and they are still in great shape. Still, as much as I like my Rugers, if I had to choose I'd keep the Model 28. Nothing beats a Model 28.
