Latest Model 28

[Narragansett]

Just picked up this 1968 " S " serial number M28 today.

No box or docs, and no original magnas, but that never stops me. Half the guns out there do not have original magna's. The grips are Eagle Heritage Walnut, more than suitable. if it had been fired beyond the factory, it can't be more than a couple cylinders.

Very fine example of a poor man's 27, but I love em. Some day I am going to get one, all worn, and have it blued.

Thank you David Hylton!!

man, that sure looks clean. Congratulations.

Looks like you got another good one. Go shoot the heck out of it! (From another Model 28-addicted individual).

That is a beauty!

Are those Eagle Heritage grips the ones they list as "reproduction Cokes" ? I have a set of those on my pre 25-2 and absolutely love the way they feel. Very nice gun!

Very nice...

I also recently picked up an M28 from 1968 (6") and love the heck out of it. While I don't know if the target stocks were original to it, they're at least period correct. And in my opinion, I like my N's wearing target stocks!

Enjoy your fine revolver!

I agree on the targets. With my hands the magnas jut don't feel right.

I like the traditional look of the Eagle Heritage line. I have three sets, all on N-Frames.

I just checked mine. Model 28. Serial number 103097. anyone have info on when it was manufactured or details on it. Fun gun to shoot although 22LR often are hard to eject.

M28's were service grade 27's. I have never seen one from the factory with targets

I believe they are. They are 200 a set. They appear to have the palm swells, and I believe they are the walnut, not the rosewood. I kind of like them. I have a spare set of targets, but i will save them for the next new gun I am not going to buy any more of

A 28 is a 357 mag. I think you may be talking about an 18?

I have a set of those targets on another 28-2 X 4"

My understanding is that they were an option but I don't have the original box and haven't had it lettered. It's a shooter for me that'll get passed down eventually so no worry.

That one is in spectacular condition. Good buy. Grips/stocks are neither here nor there. A N frame .357 is a wonderful thing...

Very nice!! I have it's ugly sister!!!

S 104600, 4" with original target stocks went for just over $1,000 on GB
One of the first ones, I wanted it bad but just couldn't do it at this time.

Probably late 1954. First year Mod 28 I believe. i guess I would pay more for an early one, but i do not pay near that for mine. I think they are one of the last good bargains out there, but they are creeping up

I bet you could have ordered one, but I have never seen anything but magnas. I bought my first one in 68 for 101.00. A 6". I know as an LEO back then I could have taken it to Smith, and had 3 T's done for next to nothing. That would be a prize. They pretty much did what LEO's wanted for peanuts back then. It was just a drive ( 90) miles to the factory back then. I had lots of mods made, and actions tuned. Colts too
