Jeez has it been 4 1/2 years since this thread was active?
As promised and after a lengthy wait, in fact I had completely forgotten I had sent in a request it's been so long, I recieved the factory letter for my 4" 14-3 "Heavy Masterpice" described peviously in this thread. To my suprise this...
Well done sir. If you like your 29 you will love your 28.
About 10 years ago I was looking for a good shooter grade 4". After much looking I picked one up off GB out of a pawn shop in Florida. It was filthy with a slightly tweaked corner on one of the rear sight blade ears. After a good...
Can't believe you took the time to even ask! At $500 each both of those guns are well under current market value. The 18 includes the periphery items desired by "collectors" and would probably bring top $ over time. Although, the 19 is no slouch either.

Judging from the lack of finish wear on the ejector rod, and other indicators, I highly doubt the gun has...
"Man-O-Man, I would grab that in an instant. Need that 5" to fill a hole in my heavy barrel, square butt, K frame family right between the '52 6" K38 and the '71 4" 14-3. Then I would have to find a 3" "something" to go between the 4" and the '84 2" 15-4. Nah, never going to happen.
