was anything worth catching. Our local craigslist turned up an ad that said "Smith & Wesson .357." I inquired about the ad asking for some more information, and the response was that it was a S&W .357 with a long barrel. I realized that could mean a lot of things so I arranged to meet with the seller to get a look at it. I was hoping for a trophy with a Model 27 but I ended up with one that wasn't quite a trophy but was still too good to throw back in the form of a Model 28-2. The serial number puts it as made sometime in the late 70s.

It's a nice looking gun in great mechanical condition, featuring factory targets and a pinned barrel and recessed chambers. There's bluing wear on the end of the barrel and the high points of the frame, but it's been properly taken care of over the years. I don't know if it came with the target grips but they're a little bit of a bonus either way.
