S&W 28-2 PPC Revolver

[22lrfan]

This 1973 28-2 popped up locally for sale. Trying to decide if I need it or not. I have a 10-5 PPC gun and have seen several others. This is the first one I've seen built on a .357. The guy bought it used so he don't know who built it. Has Aristocrat rib with three position rear sight. Double action pull is 6 1/2 lbs and single action is 1 lb 2 oz. It's listed for $700. He's a couple of hours from me so I haven't put my hands on it to see how tight it is. I've got a 6" 28 no dash and a pair of 4" 28-2's but I bet this one would be fun to shoot. What do y'all think?

Nice old school PPC revolver. I liked how it was jeweled. $700 is a fair price. JMHO.

Thank you for sharing.

I would be all over that! Never seen a PPC gun built on an N-frame.

I also would be all over that!

Dirt cheap in my neck of the woods!

The labor and parts would cost more than $700 today, if you could get even get it built!

If built right, it likely is more accurate than a stock 28-2.
That would do it for me!

The cylinder bolt notches look clean, w/o much evidence of peening.
Probably a good deal.

I would grab that in a heartbeat. I’ll bet it’s a joy to shoot.

What is going on in the second image with the jeweled parts? It appears the top strap or rib is cut for some type of scope mount?

Regardless, $700 would have that coming to me. I have barrels and cylinders to convert it to 45 ACP.

I think in the 2nd picture, it has a picatinny rail instead of the sight rib. I would grab that one for $700. Parts and labor about $800, the gun is free.

Probably the picatinny rail that Aristocrat offers that has the same mounting points as the sight rib.
