Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 28-2, originally introduced in April 1954, is a highly regarded double-action revolver chambered for the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge, also capable of firing .38 Special rounds. Designed as a more affordable, utilitarian version of the premium Model 27, the Model 28-2 earned its "Highway Patrolman" moniker due to its popularity with law enforcement agencies, particularly highway patrol units across the United States. Built on the robust "N" target frame, it features a 4" pinned barrel with a ribbed, non-serrated top, distinguishing it from the more refined Model 27. The satin blue finish gives the revolver a utilitarian yet durable appearance, ideal for the rigors of law enforcement use while maintaining the high level of craftsmanship associated with Smith & Wesson firearms. The fluted, 6-shot cylinder is counterbored to allow for a smoother reload, and its nominal length of 1.62" ensures a proper fit in the revolver's frame.

A standout feature of the Model 28-2 is its innovative sight system, which includes a 1/8" Baughman Quick Draw front sight, designed for fast target acquisition, coupled with an adjustable micrometer-click rear sight for fine-tuning accuracy. The revolver also incorporates checkered Magna-style grips with the iconic Smith & Wesson medallions, offering a comfortable and secure hold. The Model 28-2 operates in both double- and single-action modes, providing versatility for a range of situations, from rapid follow-up shots to more deliberate precision shooting. While initially produced with a 6-inch barrel as well, the 4" version became particularly popular due to its balance of portability and stopping power. The Model 28-2’s design evolved over its production run, with changes to the backstrap and forestrap serrations, but it retained its reputation for reliability and rugged performance. Production of the Model 28-2 continued until 1986, with a total of over 200,000 units produced, making it one of Smith & Wesson's most successful and enduring revolvers.
