Re: Smith and Wesson Model 28
josheppaul, I didn't notice before that you are in London, from what I gather about gun laws in your country acquiring a hand gun is no easy task, possibly not even possible in the city of London. It's expensive, time consuming and heavily regulated, I suggest you contact some of the other board members who are from England for advice.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Re: Smith and Wesson Model 28
Damn those rules have tightened up! They were restrictive when I was growing up over there in the 70s and 80s but it seems just about impossible to own a gun there now. I'd be interested in knowing how you would justify owning a Mosin.Junk Yard Dog wrote:http://www.met.police.uk/firearms_licensing/

Re: Smith and Wesson Model 28
Yeah but the only handgun you can own there now is a muzzle loader. Then you need a separate license for the black powder. That could make robbing banks awkward.Junk Yard Dog wrote:I plan to rob banks for a living so I need a handgun

Re: Smith and Wesson Model 28
From what I see on TV criminals seem to have little trouble obtaining handguns, just like here.

Re: Smith and Wesson Model 28
Wow that Model 28 is gorgeous. Nice pinned barrel, adjustable sights. Once that timing problem is fixed you should be in good. 357 mag in a 44 mag frame is about as strong as it gets.

It's not an original factory nickel (or maybe chrome?) finish, but I'm 99.9% sure it's a Smith and Wesson plating job done back in the sixties after the gun was originally purchased. My buddy bought it in the early seventies from a cop he knew. I'm going to carry it in an old Eubanks holster I found in a junk leather bin in a pawn shop years ago. Paid $2.00 for the holster but it works for the gun and is good condition as far as the stitching goes. The Model 28 is the same thing as a Model 27, but without expensive extras as far as the finish goes. This one has the original grips which fit my hand really well. Nice trigger pull too. Of course N frame Smith and Wessons don't have the ammunition capacity of a Glock 21, but you can beat an adversary to death with it if you run out of ammo.
Nice gun,, and great write up,,,,
