S&W Model 28 Highway Patrolman

Found a nice Smith & Wesson 28-2 today in a local gun shop ( and also bought another Smith in a local pawn and paid more there…backwards, I know!).

It is a 6″ model that dates to ‘66 or ‘67. Has a little honest wear, but is  in excellent shape mechanically. The target grips are probably not original, as this model would have most likely came with service stocks. $350 later (tax and all) and it’s home with me. This thing just begs to be shot. The larger N frame really soaks up the .357 Magnum recoil. Shooting .38 Specials through this one would be child’s play!
