Suppressors S&W Hghway Patrolman

[km71107]

Here's my 4" Model 28 Highway Patrolman with a set of old Jay Scott grips. My Granddad had a 6" 28 that was the 1st centerfire handgun I fired at about 10yrs old. After that, I had to have one. I finally found one and refuse to part with it. Hope you like it.

Re: S&W Hghway Patrolman

First handgun I ever purchased was a 4" Model 28. I know it's not an "autoloader" but for the man that knows how to use it, a great all around handgun. Kind of that old axiom, "Beware the one gun man, he probably knows how to use it". If you can't solve your problem with a Model 28, you probably should be getting to your rifle, shotgun, etc. Like a fool I sold mine and now to buy one would cost me at least double what I sold it for in 1983.

Ah, the Old "N" Frames...........recessed cylinders.
Built like tanks.

Re: S&W Hghway Patrolman

I've got my 28 looking better now. It's got a Tyler grip adapter on it now and I'm about to make a Threepersons holster for it. In case you are wondering, I'm not old, only 35, I just like "old guy" guns

No offense to anybody older than me, most of you have great taste in guns!

I still have a mod28 way in the back of the safe. You just have to have a .357 N frame.

In the back of the safe?

It belongs in the front so you can get out and shoot it!

You can't shoot them all. My Highway Patrol was retired long ago for a .44mag Mountian gun when I need a woods gun without being a cannon like the .500 Limbaugh. The Hp still makes a good self defence toter its just to damn big!

Re: S&W Hghway Patrolman

You're right, it is too damn big for concealed carry. Unless it's freezing cold and you have on a thick jacket. My duty gun & normal carry gun is a Glock 22. As much as I hate that Glock, it works and I shoot just fine with it. My woods gun is normally a Super Blackhawk or a 1911.

Why are you posting this in the suppressor discussion section and why are you replying to an eight year old thread?

I'll wager he's a new poster. I'm not sure why, but old posts must show up for new posters. I've seen it often in the other subforums. Nice gun, though.
