Pawn shop find. S&W 28-2
Picked up a S&W 28-2 with a 6 inch barrel today at a pawn shop. The grips are in rough shape but the gun is tight and has very few minor blemishes on it. Got it for 600 out the door. From the serial number it looks to be circa 1971 timeframe.

pinned and recessed, very nice Model 28. I love old school S&W wheel guns. You have done well !
-
That’s a dandy.
Try Tyler T-Grip. You’ll likely find the gun easier to shoot well.

Congrats on a very nice find!

You did well. Those guns are going nowhere but up in value.
I occassy bring a revolver to my PD range. You'd be surprised how many cops have never shot one

I’ve got a couple of those, one was issued by my LE agency back in the day. Your grandchildren won’t wear that revolver out (as long as it’s kept clean and oiled).

That is nice! I have a 4" and love it.
I will echo the T-Grip suggestion, or set of Ahrends or Roper's if you can hunt them down.

Wow! I love my S&W wheel guns. Very nice revolver you picked up there! ;)

I once had a choice between and really nice 4" M28 and a really slick 686. My heart said get the M28 but the practical side of me said that since my use was competition the 686 was the better choice. I really wish I could have gotten both.

I have the exact gun but in 4”. Great shooter. Yes, 1971 time frame is the same year as mine. Great find.
