No S&W revolver says "I mean business" more than a 4" Model 28 with magna grips. So much so that I bought one last Sunday.
But that photo there is the pinnacle of that - that would have to be one of the first ones ever, wouldn't it?

Allen-Frame, I gave you this once before, but I guess you didn't see it. As posted before, I own a model marked 28 no dash 4 screw 4" serial number S1821XX that you can update your list.

You are correct! My fingers had a mind of their own, and the Jack helped them think and type...

Okay you guys,, I will get out the paperwork and re-edit the stats ,,and list them on the first page for easy
reference.
I am currently agonizing over pulling the trigger on a 4" model 28 4 screw for near $500.
Really nice condition wearing goodyears.
I know if I don't grab it ,somebody else will. There are a lot of nuts out there you know!
Thanks to all who've contributed ,,,,,Allen Frame

That is a little high for one with Goodyears, but if you don't get over there and grab it, I'm coming down there and teach you a lesson.

My new-to-me 28-2. It's now wearing it's original grips. Sure wish I'd have kept that 'S' numbered 28 10 years ago, but I like this one also.

I picked up another 28-2 4" 99% no box or docs S/N S2381XX yesterday, but it needs the proper grips. I'll post pix later.
Me too, D-back. Not yet picked-up, on lay-away: a 6" 28 no-dash, 4-screw, sn S120000. I think that all those zeros must have beguiled me. Either that, or this thread has been a bad influence. Also saw a 28-2, 4-screw sn S221xxx, but its timing was off a bit, so passed on it espite a fairly good price ($375). Shop also has a M27 no-dash, 4-screw, 6-1/2" bbl w/ pinned rear ramp sight; sn S220xxx. I thought this was a bit unusual; don't recall seeing 6-1/2" M27's (pre-27's, yes, but not 27's). Shop owner said that he's keeping that one. -S2

Speedo ,,if that 28-2 was actually a S221xxx gun it may have been one of the first 28-2's ever.
I have a 27-1 with a ser.# of S2214xx .
Please either buy the 28-2 or e-mail me the info on it.
It may help narrow down the existence of the 28-1.

I have never seen a 27-2 or a 28-2 that was a 4-screw. The removal of the screw in front of the trigger guard was one of the engineering changes that differentiated the "-2" from the "nodash" and, if the 28-1 exists, the "-1". I too would be very interested in seeing (if not owning) Speedo's 28-2 4-screw...
Al & RK, going by memory that it was a 4-screw & sn S221xxx. E-mail sent to Al with contact info. I will re-visit the shop and take some photos tomorrow. -S2
A four-screw framed revolver that is stamped -2 would certainly be an oddity, but would also be incorrectly stamped. A Model 28 with a serial number in the S221000 range certainly could be a four-screw as this frame was made to about S228000. It may also be marked MOD-28, have a four-screw frame, but have an extractor rod with a left-hand thread, and would be configured like a -1 model variation. This serial number is right at the transition to the -1 and shortly thereafter, the -2 model variation.

CORRECTION,CORRECTION, CORRECTION:
The HP that I saw (and passed on), but tried to describe a couple of days ago is actually a 28-no dash (not a 28-2, as earlier described); 4-screw, sn S2211xx. Some photos:
Once again, thanks for the correction and sorry for the confusion. Guess the hunt for the first 28-2 and those elusive 28-1's continues. -S2

Well that narrows it down some.
If we have S2211xx as a model marked 28,, and S2214xx as a model 27-1 , we now know where to start looking for that 28-1.
I'm showing S223xxx as a 28-2 , so that narrows down the possibilities to about 2600 odd units.
No wonder no one has found a 28-1 yet
.
Good luck and enjoy your H.P.'s Regards ,,Al
