OK, I had a Super Red Hawk in .454 Casull that I got on a trade. It was sort of an odd ball in my collection because I mainly shoot .44 but also have a .460 which can shoot .454 but since .454 ammo is more expensive then .460 what's the point. Anyways, the only other Ruger I have is a Security Six that has sentimental value. The SRH was trade fodder so I took it to the gunshow. On my first pass I didnt see anything that interested me but it was pretty crowded so I couldnt see everything. By my second pass the crowd had thinned considerably and I found a guy with several nice S&W revolvers. We started talking and he was open to trades so I traded even for this model 28. It has a few freckles but otherwise is nice and locks up tight. As I said we traded even, my Ruger SRH 7.5" in .454 Casull, No box, excellent condition for this revolver, no box. Blue book on the Ruger is like $650. He wanted $650 cash for this Model 28 so I felt it was an even trade. I know very little any other S&W model than the 29 so I took a risk and hope I didnt get boned. The guy I traded seemed excited about the deal so maybe I did, but in any case I still didnt want or need a Ruger .454 Casull. What do you think and what can you tell me about this revolver. The grips are dated Oct 16, 1985 or 1989 (I cant tell what the last number is). Are they original? SN is S1912XX. Be Gentle.
