Pawn shop 28-2

(expletive deleted) tlawler. A 28-2 with those stocks!!! You hit the jack pot. I'll trade ya for some nice correct diamond magnas. I don't know if the factory ever put cokes on a HP but somebody did.
Do hang onto those Pachmayr grips or sell them; vintage Pachmayrs fit a whole lot better and are finished much more nicely than the modern-day new versions made by Lyman.
As for options for wood grips and as far as Thailand grips go, I've been impressed with vitoonmakers on Ebay.

I agree about the pachmayr fitment, old vs new. The ones currently on are a great fit. Newer ones I have on other firearms not so.

Great buys, around here they would be $900 to $1200 revolvers. Out of all the 5 screw highway Patrolmen I have the only one that came with target grips was my 6 inch.

Personally, I'd just leave the Pachmayrs on it. They always look like "serious business" to me, especially on a Model 28.

I received a set of magna grips today that were purchased from a fellow forum member, very pleased with the transaction. I think the model 28 looks great in this configuration. Before and after pics below.

Looks good. I have Magnas on my 27 3 1/2 inch. Just seem to go together on that short one. I went to the hideaway safe in the house today to get my RBH 45 Colt. We had a big old wild dog in the yard chasing the chickens. Found a S&W I had forgotten was in there. My 27-2 5 inch. By the time I got back out the wolfie was going over the hill .He was a fairly big one maybe a couple hundred pounds. The fellow that runs cows here had a dead calf a week or two ago. After a day or so you can't really tell what killed it.
But the wolf is a likely suspect
. The mother cows are pretty mean and doubt a 200 pound calf would fall prey to a coyote.
I hope I can find a nice 28 shooter.

Magnas for display, Pachmayrs for shooting, a good combo.
Mr. fig, when you put those period grips back on the HP, I felt the universe adjust itself back into balance. Thanks.

Years ago I bought a 6" M-28 9 (at a good price) because I couldn't find a 4". So anyone who finds a 4" is doing well.
