Pawn shop Highway Patrolman

[Georgia1911]

Found a Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman in one of my regular pawn shops today. It looks like it was bought new, never carried or fired, but indifferently stored in a holster so there are a few rust spots. It locks up as tight as any S&W I have ever held, has original Magna stocks (matching numbers) and should make a great shooter. The S292xxx serial number makes it 1967 or '68.

For $350 out the door in 2021 I'll accept a few rust spots.

Fantastic deal, what a nice 4" HP! Where are the "rust spots", I see none

Around here that is about 50% off. Great buy!

In this era of high prices it is nice to see a deal now and then. You got that one for less than half of what I'd expect to see them selling for where I shop; maybe well less than half given the four inch barrel and S serial number. Well done.

Outstanding find. Congrats on a great shooter!

Thanks all. This particular shop has been a happy hunting ground on my regular route for a few years. In the last 3 years or so stopping in there, in addition to the M28, I have bought a 3" Model 657 for under $700, an ANIB Glock 31 for $400, a Colt Model M (aka 1903) for $400 and a pre model 10 for about $300. The 2 N frames were both great deals, but the others were at least pretty good.

Awesome find at an awesome price, I would have jumped all over that as well. Congratulations on a find looking and i'm sure fine shooting pistol.

Very nice!

Very nice! No, it's finish is not perfect and I guess no box or papers, so you have a really nice shooter there.

maybe I need to get to more pawn shops!...heck of a deal

 

[rincar]

You should have bought 2 of them at that price. I have not seen a price that low in close to 15 years if not longer. Good for you.

Congratulations! Lucky man.

At least. Nice pistol . . .

I bought my first 6" M28-2 for $420 out the pawnshop door in 2012. I thought that was a deal... It wasn't one of those pawn shops in Smyrna, was it?

In almost 44 years of buying I've never had such a great purchase from a store!! Congrats, well done and I'm just a little jealous

For $350 OTD, I hope you covered your face and screeched out of the parking lot! Nice find, great bargain!!!

 

[Golphin]

things are higher just down the road here in Florida. $700.00 would be a good buy here.

The good buys are still out there...I found one of my .38-44's for $300 OTD last year...Just keep your eyes open......Ben

$350, outstanding! I paid $700 for my S prefix 28-2 a year and a half ago.

Great looking HP! I wish I could find deals like this one!
