Great, really great. I don't know why I wanted a Mod 28 more than most Smiths but I did. Took me a long time to find one I really wanted and I snagged it a couple of years ago. Something about holding that N frame. You know you've got a revolver in your hand and not a toy. What a gun. Stiff trigger but I'm told it was made that way purposely. Anyway, the way it is is the way it stays. Happy for you. You'll love it. Definitely the epitome of a Smith & Wesson revolver, or I think it is.
