Impulse buy 28-2, score or fail?

You did VERY well; I spent twice that for a S model HP. Great buy, and I don't regret it. It is my favorite .357 magnum

I haven't seen any N frames priced that low in a long time, plus it has S prefix.
You did well. You will enjoy shooting it.

That there ol HP is just barely broke in. It's where you can shoot it and enjoy it and not worry about putting dings in it or spoiling it.

Shoot, clean, and repeat. Your grand kids can do the same when you're long gone.

I'll buy them all day long at $350!

after reading some of the replies I decided to hose this thing with some ezzox and give it a rub down . I think it looks a lot better now. might just leave it as is

Wood grips could add a lot more character & contrast. You can find grips in a wide range of condition & prices. I am sure that your grips are comfy, but wood is good. My 28 no dash from 1960. # S2011xx. You certainly got a deal on it!!! Bob

A very wise decision indeed.
Your gun and money but take what a refinish would cost and buy ammo. Then shoot it, clean it and do it again.

Prediction:

In ten years you'll still have this very HP, plus a minimum 2 additional N-frames.

Aka Hog Legs

He did not even make 10 days. much less to years
