Bought a S&W 28-2 with a little local history

[Adam5]

I bought this last night, and it has a little bit local of history. It was carried the last two Chief Deputies of the Oconee County Georgia Sheriff's Office. I bought it from the current Chief Deputy, who bought it from his predecessor, who had bought it new.

It's 28-2 in 4" with a five digit N- prefix serial number, N743** . It's been carried a good amount, but not shot too much. It currently has a Wolff reduced power main spring and hammer return springs, but he gave me the original factory springs in case I want to reinstall them.

I have a soft spot for 28-2's. :)

Awesome old wheelgun. Are you planning on using it as an SD/HD gun or just adding to your collection?

It's going to my favorite holster maker later this week. He's going to make me some nice carry leather for it. It will be a SD/nightstand gun.

The 28 used to be called the poor mans model 27. It's basically a model 27 a bit less gussied up. Of course it's an N frame and with it's weight it's one of the most easy shooting 357s in the world.
