Nice revolver. When you're shooting it, you won't know the difference between it and a 3 1/2" model 27. Enjoy it.

You did great! We all have these and you won't be disappointed. Load you some 110 grain JHP with massive doses of 2400 and listen to it crack like a rifle. I have some 200 grain Cast Performance gas checks loaded and chronied at 1,255 fps out of a gun identical to yours. Wonderful!!!!!

The secret is out. Expect these to rise in cost faster than most vintage S&Ws in the coming years.

I did the 27/28 thing myself. Got tired of looking. Ended up with a S serial#, 6" from 1960. Just added diamond targets to it that I've had for years. My Dad bought them new in the 60's. Enjoy your 28! Bob

That is a fine lookin' 28-2. I had one but sold it several months ago to a forum member. Now, as with so many other guns, I regret selling the thing and am looking for another one at a reasonable price.
Thing is, though, any "reasonable prices" have already skyrocketed around here.

Very nice looking 28 you have there… Have you given any consideration to posting this same information to the "Ultimate Highway Patrolman" thread so that others may enjoy it? You'll find some other S serial numbers there.

Prices have already been on the rise for the past two or three years.
The one shown below from 1960 just sold on GB for $992.89. No box or papers. With shipping and transfer fee, might as well say the buyer paid over $1K for it.

That is nice looking. Wonder if it is a "no dash" or a "-1"...those supposedly command a premium.
Do you have a link to the listing?

Nice revolver. I got lucky and found a 3.5 inch 27-2 for $600 about 1 1/2 years ago. This year found another 27-2 but a 6 inch for $750. Love both. Next search for a 6 inch Model 28, you'll enjoy it too.

Nice find. Those 4 inch HP's just have an "all business" look about them. This is my 1962 model 28, a former cops gun.

Yes, they do.
A 27 is .357 in a dinner jacket
A 28 is .357 in a Carhart.
