What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman .357 Magnum revolver
This Model 28-2 is an N-frame, square-butt revolver with a six-shot fluted cylinder and a 6-inch heavy barrel. The barrel is pinned and paired with a short ejector-rod shroud, delivering the sturdy, service-oriented configuration the Highway Patrolman series is known for. It operates in double-action/single-action and is chambered in .357 Magnum.
Sighting is handled by a serrated ramp front sight and an adjustable S&W micrometer rear sight. The top surfaces are matte to reduce glare, complementing the polished blue overall finish. Ergonomic touches include a serrated backstrap, a service-width serrated trigger, and a checkered cylinder-release latch.
The exposed hammer shows a color case-hardened finish with a checkered spur for positive control. Stocks are checkered walnut Magna grips with S&W medallions, fitting the square-butt frame and maintaining period-correct presentation.
Markings are consistent with factory application: S&W crest on the left sideplate, Made in U.S.A. legend on the right side of the frame, SMITH & WESSON on the left side of the barrel, .357 MAGNUM on the right side of the barrel, and MOD. 28-2 stamped in the yoke cut. This USA-made revolver falls within the Highway Patrolman series timeline of the 1960s–1980s and was discontinued in the mid-1980s. It has matching N-prefix serial numbers on the butt and yoke cut.
