Model 28-2 is transitioning to a 44spl
I was given this 1966 model 28-2 by my Grandpop a few months before he passed away in 1985. I don't shoot it much, because a gun that big beckons to be a larger caliber. 357 is great in an L frame size revolver.
44spl is one of my favorite calibers and I reload so I love making the Skeeter loads. I found a 6.5" 44spl barrel (pinned) and it came with 2 cylinders (44spl and possibly 44-40?). Since I will never sell my gun, I love 44spl, and it will be more shootable, I will have a local gunsmith swap the barrel and 44spl cylinder.
I think the parts are from a 1950 Target 44, but I'm not certain. I don't see much use for the 44-40 cylinder so I probably won't have it fitted.
I can't wait! Maybe it will get trimmed to 5" some day!
