If your a hand gunner you need to seek out a model 28 and add it to your collection. Prices are climbing fast and you'll find no better field gun.

Here you can see a 28-2 pinned and rec I just picked up for $450. Tyler t and bonded ivory grips on the way.

These are absolute shooters. And their so over built you would think Ruger made them.

50 yards in the sitting. 158 xtp over blue dot.46bf28ec8d22a1bf1dc1b2583e7d68e1.jpgd23673b6c04ab40906b51284c239ee49.jpg

    Nice find and a great price these days in almost any condition. Hard to beat a Horace n Daniel N frame.

    Congrats :guns::guns:

    My pre-model 27 is almost too purty to shoot a lot. I picked up a mint 28 back in Oct and love it.

    That S&W in really nice shape, even in the high 80 percent condition is a no brainer at that price !
    I never could like a Tyler, I really tried to force myself to like it, always ended up with the Pachmeyr grip you have on it now.
    As a safe Queen, that all would be a moot point.

    Leaving good years on a smith should be a crime. :)

    She will be getting a t grip and bonded ivory. Everyone needs a odd ball grip on one of their guns.

    I genuinely want to visit the areas where you can find S&Ws for those prices. That is an easy $700 pistol in my area.
    I am afraid we forget sometime that the basic and simple things brings us the most pleasure.

    I really want one as a CCW, not a safe Queen, 6 shots is plenty, I just have not found a Revolver and had enough scratch at the same time to buy one, .44 special would be ideal !
    A S&W revolver, not a Charter Arms revolver.

    What is the barrel length ?

    Had a few over the years. Long and short. Never warmed up to the .357. Love the S&W N Frame, but prefer it in something that starts with a "4".
    It's a source of great pride for me, that when my name is googled, one finds book titles and not mug shots. Daniel C. Chamberlain

    Ok, THAT I like.
    Maybe you could find a gunsmith that would do a bead blast blue finish on it...

    Bite thine tongue thou Philistine plunderer !

    Bead blast blue a classic S&W indeed !
    Only a Taurus gets such vile treatment !
