I just joined the 28 club with a beautiful example from 1973. This 28-2 came with the box (nice condition) but grips that were not original. So, to me, this screams "add some Culina combats and shoot the hell out of it"!

These N frames, while large and heavy, just exude power and grace. No, I won't put it in my pocket, but I will bring it out to show off non stop! Here it is in its low light, sexy, Christmas photo opp .....

As much as I like my 4" model 28, I must disagree with the Sexy look. To me the model 28 is a no nonsense revolver that makes the statement Don't Fuss with me, I'm for real.

Now if a revolver can be considered sexy, it would be the 2 ½" model 19. Six rounds of OMG in a smaller package that feels like a real gun in your hand.
 
I really love them all, especially the blue ones, although I admit my stainless and nickel guns are quite attractive. Personally, for looks, I prefer the 4" models, K, L, or N, but that doesn't detract from any others insofar as sexiness is concerned. They're all just gorgeous. My first S&W was a 4" Model 19. When I showed it to my then 70 year old mother, who never touched a gun in her life, she remarked, "That's very beautiful", or words to that effect. I was elated. That whole family of guns still give me the very same feeling. :)

Nothing like a nice Model 28. I picked up a older S serial number in 4" a few months back, a great workhorse of a gun. Love shooting it. Had a 6" awhile back and went to the shorter barrel.

Great Workhorse of a Gun !!

Hey OB, I'm thinking "sexy" is in the eye of the beholder! [emoji41]

And also, I have quite a few Smith revolvers that I think are damn sexy. I just happened to be "fondling" the new to me 28 when I took those pics and made the post.

Edit: Oh boy, I'm not gonna get dinged for using sexy and fondling in the same post am I?

I would have liked your post if it wasn't for those grips.:rolleyes:

Edit. For all the other folks that have shown either magnas or targets. My thumb is up.

I do totally understand this - folks seem to either love or hate the combats. I happen to love these and have them on several other guns.
