I've shown this one before and obviously it was nickeled sometime in it's past but it is the gun that rekindled my interest in S&W revolvers. Shoots very well.
I got these targets when I was at the OGCA show a few weeks ago. They needed a refinish but were pretty cheap so I grabbed them. They were a light color with little grain showing so while refinishing I got the idea they might look better a darker color. After staining them I put 3 coats of Tru oil on them. I think they came out OK and look pretty good on the nickel gun.
I'm not very good at taking pics of nickel guns.

There's a 4" posted on my local Armslist by a LGS for $425. They call it fair condition but it looks to be in better shape than mine that I paid $400 for.
This shop is known for being a bit pricey so knowing that one is out there at such a good price point is just killing me.
It eats at me because I know I couldn't fit it and the 1911 I want to get this calendar year into the budget.

I got my only Model 28, this -2 four inch with old Herrett stocks, on my wedding anniversary in May. I took the Mrs. shopping at a cool old-time jewelry store and let her pick out several items. We then stopped at a couple of gun stores where I spied the 28-2 at a very good price. She said "I'll buy that for you for our anniversary!''. Like my wife and I, the gun shows honest wear and has a lot of character. Great shooter too.

Thanks for the kind words.
I bought the gun wearing Pachmayr Presentation rubber. After the deal was done and the money had changed hands the guy threw in a set of take off grips he had no use for. Sweetened the deal up considerably...

gunny4053,
Thank you sir, fyimo is correct. If you shoot much, especially the magnum loads, you cannot beat Kurac stocks. John does beautiful work at very reasonable prices. His stocks really fit well, both my hand and the guns. I have several sets of both N and K frames and recommend them highly. He is also a nice guy and easy to deal with.
I hope this helps.
