I have a 6" 28-2 that I bought new in Oct 1966 that I have done a fair
amount of shooting with over the years. It has been carried in a old
leather Hunter holster some when I have been out hunting. I have
fired some pretty heavy handloads through it but most of the shooting
I have done with has been with light cast bullet loads. It still looks
great after all these years. Shoot your 28 and take good care of it
and don't worry about it. As said above it will have a new owner some
day when you are no longer able to enjoy it.
