Model 28 Thoughts
I bought a 6" Model 28-2 used in 1982. I kept it for a few years and regrettably sold it. I've had several wheel guns since and have enjoyed them all but the old 28 was like that that girl you never forget. I recently replaced it with a 4" 28-2. I feel like I got the girl...

Just signed up last night. Hoping to make some new acquaintances with a common interest and learn a little as I go. I've got the bug to get a 357 and found the forum on a google search. I miss my old model 28 that I parted with several years ago. Yesterday I stopped by my local arsenal and ended...
