SMITH & WESSON Model 28-2 “HIGHWAY PATROLMAN” .357 Magnum Cal. Revolver C&R CLASSIC BLUED S&W Self Defense Revolver
Description: SMITH & WESSON Model 28-2 “HIGHWAY PATROLMAN” .357 Magnum Cal. Revolver C&R CLASSIC BLUED S&W Self Defense Revolver Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson Model 28-2 Double Action Revolver made circa 1966-67 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Model 28, also known as the Highway Patrolman, traces its heritage back to the Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum. The Registered Magnum morphed into the .357 Magnum with the first production model completed April 8, 1935). The .357 Magnum was temporarily discontinued in December 1941 when Smith & Wesson turned their focus to wartime production but was reintroduced in December 1948 with the new series beginning at serial number S72000. It was redesignated the Model 27 in 1957. Law enforcement agencies favored the Model 27, but its high-polish finish and labor-intensive topstrap checkering added expense with no added utility for a police carry gun. In the late 1940s and the first part of the 1950s Smith & Wesson was the only American gun company manufacturing a .357 magnum revolver. Since this relatively deluxe model was the only revolver available for this cartridge at the time, police departments, as well as individual officers and private shooters, requested from Smith & Wesson a more strictly utilitarian "budget" .357 magnum revolver. S&W responded with the Highway Patrolman which was later renamed the Model 28 in 1957. The manufacturing changes made for a more affordable revolver, though mechanically the Highway Patrolman is the same as the more ornate Model 27. The Model 28 is unusual in that Smith & Wesson removed, rather than added, features to the Model 27 to create it, in order to reduce production costs with no reduction in utility. A classic N frame revolver, the Highway Patrolman is blued, but it is not polished, saving labor costs. The Model 28 was in production from 1954 through 1986. For most of its production run it was a steady seller with both police officers and civilian shooters. The overall condition is fine. Original finish. Excellent action. Bright, nicely rifled bore. Sharp markings. Both grips are in fine shape with sharp checkering. Numbers match. This firearm is classified as Curio & Relic. Barrel is 4 inches. Caliber: .357 Magnum Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
