New Grips On My 28-2 Rescue

[lemosqueezer]

This was my Model 28-2 rescue. Left for dead at a local shop. Quality cleaning turned up a real gem. Didnt even realize the target trigger until I snactched it up. Single action pull is about 1/2 lbs. Lots of holster wear, it was someones best friend, now it's mine. Came with K frame stocks. So I picked up both of these for less than half of a nice set of goncalo alves. My new camping buddy.

I've never seen grips like that. What kind are they?

Those are Jay Scott faux ivory...vintage after market grip maker. Tight fit.

Something very appealing about those faux ivories...

Those are some might fine looking grips. Thanks for giving a lonely M28 a home!

Sir, nice catch--looks much better now.

BTW, that's not a target trigger. It's a standard service trigger with an aftermarket "trigger shoe" added to it. If you look closely, you should be able to see the set screw(s) used to hold the trigger shoe in place. These were once a popular accessory, though less so now'days.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

Those grips are so cool! They really make that gun look fantastic.

I love em. My 28 is wearing Targets but I sure wish I could find a set of N frame Magnas for it.

Indeed I do see it as a shoe now. Thanks. I seem to really like it this way. And thanks to all for the nice comments. I couldnt resist those grips soon as I saw em.

If the width of the trigger shoe exceeds the width of the trigger guard, be extremely careful when holstering the gun. A tight holster (especially IWB) can engage the trigger shoe and fire the gun.

Also, 1/2 pound SA pull is pretty light. Make sure you can't push the hammer off full cock.

Those trigger shoes were a popular accessory during the 1960s. This picture is of my 6" 28-2, purchased in 1967, and my father's 4" 28-2, which I purchased for him in 1968. I installed the trigger shoes on both at the time of purchase. The thought on these is that they spread the finger's pressure over a wider area, giving the illusion of a lighter pull.
