Let's see those Highway Patrolmen

[gfors]

Here are mine (along with a nickel 27-2). The gun wearing stags is a 28 no dash. The others are -2's. They all have great triggers, but the 6" 28-2 has the best of any of my revolvers.

 

[scout II]

I got one S prefix. Refinished recently by Ford's custom

That one looks great.
I have a 28 that was done by Ford's in high polish blue.

Here are a few older pictures of some of my 4" Highway Patrolman and 6" Highway Patrolman.
I have added a few more, so I need a new family picture.

 

[Kitgun]

My one and only

This is my 1968 S prefix 28-2 4". It is a great gun with some honest wear.

I only have one Model 28, my 6" 28-2 shipped December 7, 1978.
My brother BUFF gave it to me back on August 12, 2014.

It came to me wearing these Pachmyar Grips that he put on
back when I used to borrow it to take rabbit hunting.



It now rests on my night stand wearing Target Grips and residing in the
holster that it has spent its entire life in.

I've put more rounds thru it than any of my other guns, all .357 Magnums.

Its one of my favorites. Come to think of it, every single one of my guns is my favorite.

Its one of my favorites. Come to think of it, every single one of my guns is my favorite.

Ain't it the truth.

Here are a few of mine (pre-28, Model 28s and 28-2s):

 

[StrawHat]

I have one! Slightly(?) customized, but it suits me very well. At one point, my favorite edc.

WOW! Hard to beat that! Bob

 

[bananaman]

Well, I posted my no dash, but did not post my favorite stocks for it. My Dad bought them in the 1960's. Rather not mess them up! Bob

Ain't it the truth.

It makes it tough when someone asks you to post a picture of your favorite.

I don't have a family picture with all my guns in it.

One of my favorite S&W models. I just adopted another 28-2 with 6" bbl. This one is in 98% plus condition. Just strolling through the gun show in Fayetteville, NC and there it was. Few and far between of these found at shows near me in this condition or at all for that matter.

Looks like 100% condition from here.

Just picked this one up yesterday, 1964/65 28-2. Haven't shot it yet, but good trigger and build quality. Doesn't show well in the photo, but nice wood on it unlike some of the later 28s. Is it just me or do others prefer the duller blue on these to the shiny ones?

$760 on Gunbroker, not a bad price for these crazy times.

 

[quikdraw67]

Circa 1973. Got it BITD with Pachmyers on it for $250. I think that I did ok.

 

[flap]

My three are in 357, 44 and 45.

Congratulations! Don't think you can do better than that! Bob

 

[CHARLIE699]

I can only contribute one. No box or papers and YES, the grips are wrong.
But it is a first year S1111xx Highway Patrolman,,,

 

[squidsix]

1964. Couldnt justify the cost of a Tyler T but the BK adapter sure makes it better to shoot.

 

[damienph]

My two 28-2 Highway Patrolman with a newer 27-9.

All good shooters.

I'm not really a revolver guy, but picked up a nickeled '64-vintage 28-2 on GB the other day.

The grips had some scarring and the finish was dull and cloudy...and there was also a set of pimp-tasctic pearl grips in the case with it. I wasn't looking for a collector, just a shooter.

Spent a couple of hours on it with some Mother's polish and ordered a couple of sets of Altamont grips to see what I liked.
