PURIST---Do not read this reply, it can lead to stomach disorders and extreme anxiety.
First lets discuss your thoughts and what YOU want. If you want a shooter and a project then the 28 is the choice.
If you are into collecting and keepin the weapon as is and think the idea of original is your cup up tea, then the 27 is for you.
I am not a tradionalist. I don't think beauty is the same for everyone---we all married different women----some several, looking for the perfect.
I like to make things my own---I don't really care what others think along the lines of beautiful.
Guns are tools and like all tools, they are what they are too you.
I like projects and I like making guns MINE---this makes me happy.
Blessings

As a kid, I admired my fathers' model 28 with 6" barrel. I always believed it to be my birthright and would someday posess it for myself. Unfortunately, he foolishly traded it in on a 30-30 instead of having the timing fixed on it(was spitting lead out the sides).
A few yrs ago, I decided I was going to obtain an N-frame 357magnum and this dilemna was mine now. After alot of reading up on the choices, I went with the 27 with 5" barrel.
Mine is not in perfect condition as the bluing has some imperfections, so I shoot mine.

My statement that I shoot it is referring to the trend in this thread that model 27's are too pretty to shoot and that one should get a 28 if you plan to. Mine is not mint condition, and if it was and I paid top-dollar for it(not that I have any guns like that) I understand those who don't shoot them and want to keep them in unfired condition. If you payed beau coup bucks for an unfired classic revolver and wish to take it out to the range..good for you.
Whatever trips your trigger.

If you can afford it, get both. I did and it was well worth it.

Yes, They're both four screws. I was fortunate to find them at two different LGS. The black powder show sounds like a good one. I'll bring em along. Let's make a plan.

If both were in front of you and you could only buy one, I would go for the 27.
Both are equally durable but 27s are just classy.
Since only a 28 stands before you, buy it.
If a 27 comes along and you want it, you could always sell the 28 if you had to. Personally I try to sell as little as possible.
