Republished: Seeking My Old On-Duty Highway Patrolman Model 28 Thank you all so far. I have edited the entry to include the entire serial number hoping it helps.

S&W Highway Patrolman, Model 28, .357, 6 inch, blue, SN S325346 This was my on-duty gun for years and, while I know there's little chance, I'm seeking to locate and repurchase it. I believe it's probably still in Northern California, but.... I originally sold this in the late 70's/early 80's -...

Grouping is consistently slightly down and to the left and, assuming it's not due to an incorrect grip, trigger pull, etc......

Probably a stupid question, but is the rear sight on this gun adjustable? What I find is a hex screw that appears to merely permit removal of it. If adjustable, how?

New Sights for S&W Model 639 After having virtually every sight company telling me they make no such produce, I found the following place that sells paints (for placing dots) on existing sights. Frankly, I believe this will work fine. Bright Sights Inc. Bright Sights High Visibility Gun Sight...

I'm looking for an upgraded sight for the S&W Model 639 pistol. Does anyone know of something that would be suitable and fit (relatively easily) for target practice? A picture of a similar pistol found on the net is attached. Thanks.

I have he grips from a S&W Model 28, 6" .357 originally purchased in 1969 and later sold w/ Pachmyer grips when I went from uniform to plain clothes. Stamped on the inside of both grips are the letters: "N R." On the right grip is the number 325346. Q-1 What is meant by the N and R? Q-2 Is...

Jim - re putting grips and gun together Sold gun long ago when I went from uniform to plain clothes. No recollection to whom; perhaps traded with a dealer for a better plain clothes gun. I'm going to keep looking re the serial number, but perhaps you already know the answer. Is the number on...

Apparently there's three types of safeties: (1) finger; (2) keyed; and (3) none. Mine came with no safety other than adding one (e.g., cable, trigger, etc.). Question: Can you (or do you want to) retro-fit a finger safety on this gun? I was surprised I didn't notice that this particular...

Follow-up Thank you very much. I thought it was a 28 - am just about to do the searching you recommended. However, one more thing: Is the serial number on the grip of any relevance - other than perhaps to identify the grips?

I'm attempting to identify a particular weapon: .357 S&W Highway Patrolman, 6 inch, blue. I sold the weapon long ago, but still have the original wooden grips (which have the mental S&W tag imbedded) which bear the serial number 325346 stamped inside along with large Letters "N R". There's...
