Very nice. 4" 28's are wonderful things. You will enjoy it.

By the looks of it I'd say that you may have paid too early....but never too much.
What a beaut!

Can't go wrong with a Model 28, and that looks like a real nice one. Congratulations.

good one
that one looks alright. You pay a little more sometimes a little less other times but there is no current production that even comes close. Mine are all exquisite shooters and get better with time. The 4'' sits well in the hand and has the best balance for my taste, maybe a regular use larger grip would be good too.

I have a 28 and a 28-2. They are both 4" revolvers like yours, but have been worn a lot more. I prefer the Magna grips which yours has, but added a period Tyler T Grip to mine. For me this is a great combination, and they are heavy enough to make shooting magnum loads pleasant.
Here's my 28-2, before I added the T Grip:
Congratulations on a wonderful gun that will never be made like this again.
Best Regards, Les

Hi
Greetings from this one: A 151xxx, I think a 1971 ship year. What a shooter, like a laser with 158 gr Sierra JSP and 4.0 gr W231. I gave it as a birthday gift to her and took her shooting for the first time. Made up some 148 wc with 2.7 gr Bullseye. No recoil and she now loves going.

I consider the HP one of the best revolvers ever built,in any barrel length.Rugged,dependable..not flashy and get-er done strong. It's the one ton pick-up truck of revolvers. I buy them every chance I get.

If it's an N-frame...... IMHO the 3 1/2 inch barrel is overrated .......no matter which barrel you have it's a "big" gun.........no reason not to go with a 4 inch.
I've got a 4inch 28 and a 4 inch "shooter grade" (90%) LOL 27-2 1/2 ...... recessed but not pinned....................

Congratulations on a fine revolver. As has been mentioned sometimes a bit early but not too much.

Very nice find there. Mine is a 4 inch also (not too big not too small)

You know, all this adulation over the 28s is why the prices are going sky high. Just stop the drolling. Its an old work horse with a dull finish. Wink!

Congratulations on your new 28-2!
Obviously you're okay with the purchase price .... nothing else matters.
You know, the older I get the less I about care how much I paid so long as it's something I really wanted and could afford it!

Could not agree more. The 28-2 is a very nice weapon. I just love mine. It is a 1962 "S" prefix and is a much better shooter than I am.
Thanks... I don't have a picture of it with the Tyler T Grip on it, but I just snapped a quick iPhone pic of my other Highway Patrolman, a 28 no dash shipped in October of 1960, wearing a T Grip. I think that the Magnas and a T Grip give the best fit for my hands:
Best Regards, Les
