Yeah man, if you can shoot N-frames comfortably. For me they don’t play well. My hands are more suited for K and L frames. I can shoot N frames good, but not great.
Looking to value N Frame 38sp

Update, First thanks to everyone who shared their knowledge and pictures. I was able to buy this for $700. After a good cleaning what I found is that the grips are sn# matching. There is a sn# on the cylinder, where the ejector rod sits, the side plate, the bottom and are all matching. There is slight scratching on the right of the cylinder, some wear at the end of the barrel, on the frame top and bottom of trigger guard. I think this was someone's service sidearm or EDC. The lighting on my pics seem to make the finish look more worn than it really is. It's not. I'm super happy to have picked this up. Now to find a period correct box and cleaning kit etc.

Given your description and the pics I'd feel pretty pleased about that one for $700 - hope you enjoy it for many years to come!
The model 28"s are big heavy guns. I have a 4" that shipped to the Pueblo, co police in 1952. It is one my ready house guns. Charge holes have NOT been reamed. As we get copper heads in the front garden from time to time, the first two rounds are 38 special shot shells
Haven't decided yet. Mostly target shooting maybe some 38 SWC

You’ll find anything below .357 levels to be pretty sedate. I had a Model 28-3 once and .38 130 grains were mouse farts.
You did well. I think you're going to enjoy shooting that one.
