I acquired a 28-2 6" from the mid 70's a while back. It is a great range gun and a blast to shoot. I love mine! (show with some stable mates)

I used to have a pre-M12 with an alloy cylinder similar to what you have there.

I sold it with the wrong grip panels on it, they had a slightly thinner backstrap than a K frame usually has.

The M28 was a very popular gun, especially if you didn't have $125 for a M27! My M28-2 was $97.50 in 1972.

Here's my newest. I bought it yesterday from the original owner, who swears this Highway Patrolman has never been fired. It's a 28-2, SN 2524xx.

Or used. I know some woman that said the same thing......

LOL yeah. I see your point, and I do remember what PT Barnum once said.

However, after close inspection, there's not a scratch or wear mark on it, other than a light rub that i would expect from laying in the box for decades. cleaning patches never showed evidence of being fired (usually I can find something, someplace), and the lubricant I cleaned off of it was what I typically see when a gun has sat. You know, when a light gun oil ages over the decades into axle grease.

I know it is an old thread, but thanks for listing it. I got this revolver when my grandfather past away. I was trying to find out the year it was made. According to your list it should be about a 1955 model.Now it is beginning to appear that he may have purchased it new.

Anyone who would do that is missing the point about this being America.

So what are the modifications?

 

[williamlayton]

One has been hard chromed and the 4 in barrel in the other pic has been cut too about 3 inches and re-blued.

I'm really liking that 3 incher.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

I like both.

 

[DelawareDave]

I have a M1917 that's been cut to a 3 inch barrel. I haven't fired it yet, because a previous owner also did a trigger job on it that it so sensitive, I need to have a gunsmith check it out before I deem it safe.

 

[waffles]

Help me Highway Patrol thread! Would this little 28-2 be a good buy at $425?

 

[sunnyd]

I think you all ready know the answer.

 

[AJMBLAZER]
