28-2 with slightly differing serial numbers
I don't know if the person I bought this from was the first owner. The person I bought it from was a hunter and a Redfield 4X scope was mounted on it. He did not have the original sight. I found a sight from a 27 lying around and put it on.
I don't know if the grips are original, but they seem to match the SCSW and were on the gun when I bought it.
The serial number as stamped on the frame starts with "N." The same number is stamped inside the ejector rod housing but starts with "F."
It's a very nice gun.

INFIDEL!!! I love them both. I want to have my 28-2 sent off for a hard chrome brushed finish just like that one.

Thanks, Philblack.
Any idea what the "F" means?

I guess this one was made in the 69-72 Range #N96xxx. Sold to the Anchorage Police Department Issued to ME. I was allowed to keep it when I retired.
I have a 4 inch model 28 and I'm about to aquire a six inch. What is the make of your holster? I want to have a black basketweave setup like that, to make the police guns feel at home.

Here is my 28-2 6".
It came with old Pachmayrs which I replaced with a new set of Ahrends Cocobolo stocks.

Looks like an old Hoyt or Nelson rig. A forum member has a long-running large list of old police holsters he sells here. You may be able to find something similar in this thread: http://smith-wessonforum.com/access...t-daily-additions-come-visit-buy-me-beer.html

Quoting myself, I wanted to upload (okay, I know, a somewhat lousy) picture of both my Model 28-2s.
The 6 inch barrel is SN 2274xx and the 4 inch is from the original quote, SN 2524xx. Judging from bluing and the lack of holster wear, the 6 inch is practically new also.

Instead of starting a new thread I thought I'd put this here. How rare are the 3.5 inch HPs? Or were there any 3.5 inchers made.
Per SCSW, no 3.5" Model 28s have been documented.

Thanks, Taroman. I had recently seen where someone had bought a 3.5 inch HP that turned out to be a standard 4-incher. I didn't think there were ever any short HPs made. I had never heard or seen of any here or anywhere else. Just wanted to be sure.
To make a long story short, Thanks....

Most likely they made the very common mistake of measuring barrel length to the front of the frame instead of to the cylinder.
