Bitten by the Revolver Bug Again: S&W 28-2

[marks]

Today's trade resulted in this:

A S&W 28-2 Highway Patrolman. Made in 1980, as best I can tell. Worn for sure, but not abused. Mechanically, it seems sound. Other than the finish, the gun was very well maintained/cleaned. I figure if it served someone well since then, it's probably gonna keep on doing so.

Very nice.

Gotta love guns with a story. May I ask what you traded for it?

Thank you! Can't wait to hit the range with it. Something about a heavy revolver that's really nice.

Certainly. This is one of those "I'm not a very smart shopper, but I ended up with something I'd rather have" stories.

I picked up a used CZ P-07 about 2 weeks ago. I'd been considering one off and on for awhile, and finally went for it. Took it to the range twice. Nice gun.

When I saw the 28-2 at the shop on Saturday for $299, I checked it out, and knew I had to have it. Not being in a position to add another gun to the collection right now, it came down to "what's in the safe that's not really blowing me away?". It was the just-purchased P-07. So, I ended up taking a bit of a hit on the CZ, but walked out with this. It's definitely got more character.

Now, that's it. Nothing else I have is getting traded. I'm happy. Nope, don't need any more guns. ROTFL!

Haha yeaaaaaah..... i've got a feeling that attitude isn't going to last. Anyone who is willing to loose money for a gun he really wants probably has an insatiable desire for guns lol. But nothing wrong with that, right?!

That's right! I'm just doing my part to keep them from ending up in the wrong hands. :-)

The N frame is a big frame gun it should still have a lot of life in it. Unless they shot a lot of super hot reloads in it the N frame should still be GTG.

I have done this a few times in the past year. Brought home a few new guns and paid some speeding tickets.
