Well happy to say I bought it, the 4” Highway Patrolman talked about above. It’s a honest wear gun maybe a little honest neglect showing too, but I cleaned it, oiled it, and swapped the Goodyear’s for some sb targets that had a nice wear patina.
Got it to the range today and I have to say this gun just “feels” good, real good. It’s solid as a rock, smooth but tight and the trigger pull is lite, linear, and breaks clean! I have some “prettier” Smith’s that in their defense haven’t been run in enough to hit the sweet spot, but this model 28 is there 😁
