You sure it's not a M28-2? That was the Highway Patrolman model. At any rate the SN puts it around 1981-82, as the dash-3 started in 1982 on the M27 and M28.

My bad the title had 28-2 and I typo the post. I believe it is made well before 1980 since all the original paperwork shows print dates before that. The oldest print date is 03-67

Yes. It is probably from 1972. Hair Trigger apparently thought he saw six digits, when you listed only five (N936xx).

Either way it sounds like a great price - pics would be nice!
Enjoy.

That was my bad on the date, I thought I saw 6 digits. Nice looking revolver, but unlikely those are original stocks unless they were special ordered. M28 standard stocks were walnut magnas.

It had these grips and Magna's when I purchased it. It's a nice addition to my other S&W .357's. This is my third .357 N frame, but i also has a Nickel 586 and 2 686's.
Great! Nothing like an N frame with Target football cut stocks.
I have become an addict!
I want them all in every barrel length, finish and variant!
Nicely done. Great deal

My local Cabela's had it. I was in the day they bought it and when I looked at it I told them to put my name on it. Then I came in the next morning to do the paperwork since they can't sell it until it is officially in their inventory the next day..

$700 is very good. Better than I did a couple of years ago for a pretty much equally decent looking 6" with the (IMHO) too small and ugly Magna grips on it.
A good deal at Cabelas? Thats almost unheard of!
Nice 28, congratulations!

I bought a pre-Model Number HP at Cabela's a few years ago for $400. But with the inflation we have experienced in, uh, "the last four years", that's easily $700 now.
Might be my best N-Frame. Thanks Cabela's.

Very nice. Especially with box and original stocks, that is an outstanding deal. I picked this one up about a year ago for $750, IIRC. No box, but the grips, though not original, are really nice
They now reside on my early Model 57.

Mine came with Magnas but wears Herrett's when I shoot it.

You got a steal on that one. Congrats! The 28-2 is one of my two N-Frames and it is a good one. I bought it for $750 with no box or papers and Pachmayr grips. I found a decent box and some other accesories on Ebay and added the wood grips.

Cabela's gave you a deal like that? Will wonders never cease?
You done good!
cmdrcody, that's a very nice Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman you got there. Congratulations on the purchase. I like the 6" barrel HP's. That's sure enough a good price from Cabela's.
I have a 6" barrel Model 28-2 HP with the original box and components. Mine has the football cut out targets (black washer) and a .400" smooth semi-target trigger and the box reflects the option. My gun is serial # N453XX and I have not lettered the gun. The SCSW catalog says somewhere between 1969 and 1972.
