Should I trade for S&W Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman?

[A10]

You do realize this is the Smith and Wesson forum, right?. TRADE.......you will be money and quality ahead. The 28 is the same gun as the 27, just not as prettified. People are starting to realize the value and 28s are going up in price.

What A10 said there ^^^^ is quite true .

I have been an active S&W buyer as I sold my Colts at a very good time and for excellent prices. My focus was more on the nickel S&W revolvers, so I passed on some 28s before I recently got one.

I just saw a very good and As NIB 28 that the asking price was $1200 . That is a substantial increase over about a year ago . Granted this one is in the best condition and demands a premium , but that is still a big jump.

I wasnt planning on selling any anyway. Of course I wasnt planning on selling my Colts either . But I got going with a S&W 29, then a 17 , and the S&W bug just set in .

Now I am selling Rugers . I am enjoying the S&Ws as you can tell. I am going to let the new 28 do some work next week as a matter of fact.

I'm probably the wrong guy to ask...

I'm starting to feel bad now, I've only got two 28s and an HP!

0ne HP beats two GP100s any day of the week

Heck. I'm in the middle of trading a blued steel near brand new GP100 for a M19-5 right now. Once again, they still make one but not the other.

So where are the pics already???

I'd trade off any Ruger for a 28 or any other Smith in a heartbeat!

 

[DJINCO]

Yes. If I had a GP100.

You said "you were offered a trade"......so he wants a 4" .357 is my guess......

do the "trade" even up and run like"______". I hope you don't lose a good friend on the trade...... but it was his idea right....LOL

Well all this S&W 28-2 posts. I just went out today and bought one.
I found 5 in a 50 mile area.
From $400 to $700 for the 4" blued model. I didn't buy but when I told a friend what I was looking for. He sold me his!!! $375!!!! Lot of holster time but not much ammo through it!!!!
I have a K22 18-4 4" .22LR and wanted the Combat Masterpiece in .357, but the prices were over my budget. So I started looking for an alternate when I saw these posts.
Just had to have one!!! Now I have 3 S&W revolvers!!!
Forgot to add.. Gave my Ruger Blackhawk to my grandson-in-law..

If the deal is good for you, then trade. You can always find a GP-100 as it is still in production.
