I posted here that I was "conflicted" about wanting another M28. A six-incher.

I solved the dilemma today!

Lets add one more.I traded for this Friday. It is a 28-2 with a 4 " barrel and smooth target stocks. This gun only has a very light cylinder ring and absolutly no blue wear. However both sight srews have been lightly booggered.I will get some pics when the weather breaks if I can keep it that long.This gun is serial # N5809XX. Thanks for the very informative thread.

I have a 5 screw 6 inch barreled HP Serial Number S13020X. It is missing the original grips which I would love to find. Otherwise it is in about 90% blue condition..And is as accurate as I can shoot..better actually. My wife can shoot it very well I did shoot a few depredating wascally wabbits at the end of the garden last year. max of about 70 -75 yds. Really nice gun

I noticed one or two of the HP's here had white lettering on the barrel- is this a variant, for a certain dash number, or an add on aftermarket?

Thanks.

Chalk or a crayon is typically used to do that to highlight the markings for photos.

My 28 4" N195*** about 1973-74.

The reason I asked is I got a shooter grade this week that has what appears to be factory white letters. Wonder if someone added it after market then.

Thanks.

Recent purchase, sorry no pictures yet:

Model 28 no dash, four screw, S212xxx, 6" barrel, diamond magnas. DOB is a bit of a mystery to me. I'm guessing 1960, making this a late 4-screw no-dash Model 28s.

This is my 28-2 N239xxx that I purchased recently. Haven't shot it much, but I hope to soon. Mine has RR and target stocks as you can see.

Thanks.

Undoubtedly.

 

[donadler]

Thanks. Think I'll keep it as is though!

Model 28 mania ?

Just tonight I read and looked at photos on the first several pages of this thread. Some excellent Model 28 photos here. I'll continue tomorrow, but in the meantime, does anyone know the weight of the 4" Model 28? Back in the '70s I owned 2 different 6" 28s and foolishly let myself get traded out out of them. Thanks.

........in the meantime, does anyone know the weight of the 4" Model 28? Thanks.

4" = 41 3/4 oz.
6" = 44 oz.

BTW, I dug out my Gun Digest 1966 - 20th Anniversary Edition. The list price for a new Model 28 in 1966 was $85.00; $90.00 with target stocks.

So. A monthly, conservative iPhone bill is about the same today as a world class revolver was back in the day.
My day, by the way. HS grad 1968.

Just grabbed a nearly mint 6", added flawless smooth targets.............about $550 total.
Worth it.
