Smith & Wesson Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman .357 Magnum 4" Revolver – Satin Blue N-Frame
The Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman pairs Smith & Wesson’s robust N-frame with a .357 Magnum chambering designed for law-enforcement durability. This 4-inch example features the -2 engineering change with left-hand extractor-rod threads and the model’s signature matte bead-blasted satin blue finish. Its heavy carbon-steel barrel, adjustable sights, and wide trigger offer the reliable performance that made the Highway Patrolman a trusted duty sidearm from the 1960s through the 1980s.

What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman revolver with factory checkered walnut Magna grips
The heavy 4-inch carbon-steel barrel carries a partial extractor-rod shroud and a matte rib, adding both weight forward balance and rapid sight acquisition. Combined with the wide 0.400-inch smooth trigger and wide-spur hammer, it offers controlled double-action pulls and confident single-action precision.
Smith & Wesson’s bead-blasted satin blue finish distinguishes the Model 28 from its polished Model 27 sibling, emphasizing utility while retaining classic blued-steel appeal. The finish on this revolver remains even and consistent across the frame, cylinder, and barrel.
Adjustable iron sights—Baughman serrated ramp front and S&W micrometer rear—allow precise zeroing for a range of .357 Magnum loads. A manual hammer block safety provides an added layer of mechanical security without complicating operation.
