My S-serial HP that taught me trigger work, tuning(and came out well), got a bit of a cold blue makeover (it was already re-blued, just tired)and makes me a better shooter...
Unfortunately, neither the finish nor the grips are correct. The trigger and hammer have been nickeled as well, which is evidence of a refinish. Whether or not the refinish was done by Smith and Wesson, I can't tell you. The grips, if they were correct, would have a diamond around the screw. The grips you have are later style target stocks.
Not much we can tell you without a serial number, other than you made a great choice! I bought my 6" 28-2 in May as a 21st birthday present to myself. I loved it so much that I am obsessed with S&W revolvers now. I now own 3 smiths. You can never have just one. If you don't believe me now, just wait until it's first trip to the range with you! Congrats!I am no collector and mainly shoot Glocks and precision rifles. A little while ago I got it in my head that learning to work a DA revolver would improve my pistol shooting with other guns. I did a bunch of research and came to the conclusion that the 28 best intersected my intended use and the cost that I was willing to invest in this venture.
I brought this guy home today
I immediately added a set of Grasshorns.
And here it is with my current duty gun.
What can you tell me about it? I'll add the serial# in a bit. The stocks do not number to the gun.
