What would you do ?

[jwh402]

I have a Model 28-2 6" in beautiful condition (not even a turn line), & have the opportunity to trade it for a 4" 686 no-dash in about the same condition. I usually know exactly what I want, but in this case I feel like an indecisive girl !

No box or papers with either, & it looks like the values are comparable. I'm not in a position to keep it & buy the other, so... What would you do ? Your experienced opinions are much appreciated.

Personally,I'd keep the 28.

Potential coin flip, huh? Well I tend to default to earlier models vice more recent. My 2 cents...

Keep the 28

Keep the 28!

Keep the 28. There won't be anymore of them, particularly in that condition.

Do I see a pattern developing here?

 

[pownal55]

as a collector piece i'd go with the 28. for shooting i would take the one that felt better for that purpose.

Keep the 28,and start setting aside some coin for the 686. Seems to be a lot more of those for sale than the 28's.

I can make my no box 686 look absolutely unfired except for 3 charge holes. Can you make a 28 look like that?
Plenty of 686s
Keep the 28.

 

[jwh402]

Good point Pred, & no I can't. Thanks for the replies gentlemen.

 

[Muley Gil]

Keep the M28.

 

[S&W-Keeper]

There are a ton of 686's out there. You don't see a lot of nice 28's.

 

[Abbynormal]

The 28 must stay!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't anger the N frame gods!

 

[aalmcc4]

Keep the twenty eight! You'll regret it if you don't. TONS of 686s out there.

28.......... go see your doctor

 

[DCWilson]

I sense a trend. Unless you think the ballot box is being stuffed, you should probably not try to fight it.

I think you should sell me the 28 and buy the 686.

 

[Philblack]

Personally, I'd keep the 28, just like nearly every one around here would !

 

[jwh402]

I think the tribe has spoken, the 28 is going nowhere. Now off to sell a kidney for the 686.

Thanks to all !
