Very nice, I also have several S&W along
with Ruger handguns. From .22 all the way up to .454 Casull.
Have to share my newest acquisition:
S&W M28-2 Highway Patrolman! 😁 For comparison (all 4"): 1. N-Frame (S&W model 28) 2. what Ruger would suggest as L-Frame (Ruger GP100) 3. K-Frame (S&W model 547) Interesting: the thickness of the Ruger frame! But it's produced in another way than the S&W ...
Nostalgia
I used to go to the range with my dad, he used to have a S&W 357 with a 3.5".
Banned... what a shame! Hopefully there will be changes in the not-so-far future?!
Ok, this doesn't seem realistic, sadly.
Sweet!
I like it, and while I know the 4” is the preferred length , I would choose the 5”... Have fun!
That is a real beauty, Ron. I have a mint 6" 28-2
Mine dates to around 1977. I just shot it a few weeks ago, one of my favorite revolvers. I have had a 4" in mind for some time and need to pick one up.

I am fortunate to own some very fine pistols, but there is nothing like a revolver.
The feel and sounds of the mechanism - extraordinary. I am no Jerry Miculek, and I like having semi auto pistols. But if I could only own my revolvers or pistols, definitely the wheel guns for me.
Yes, its called "Highway Patrolman" - you can see it stamped on the barrel on the first picture.
The model 66 is the stainless version of the model 19, am I right?
Absolutely love the Model 28
It was meant to be the cheaper version of the Model 27, which was very much the Cadillac of their line. Mechanically identical, but a different grade of finishing, bead blasted instead of deep blueing. The best bargain in the entire S&W catalogue in the 6...
Indeed. A less fancy, less expensive version for the California Highway Patrol.
No top strap checkering or sight markings, the non polished finish. I love my 6", and will add a 4" soon enough.
Yup, issued to the CHP
Also, I think a few were issued in a nickel finish to the Florida Highway Patrol. Dan Tanna, in the TV show Vegas, is carrying a 4” model 28.
That is correct.
I remember reading some years ago that a very small number of 28s were made with a 5" barrel. That would be an incredible one to add.
