Performance and Handling

.357 Magnum Versatility

The .357 MAG caliber delivers a broad performance envelope: controllable recoil with lighter loads for target practice and reserve-stopping power when needed. In a 6″ BBL platform, .357 loads achieve higher muzzle velocities and improved ballistic consistency versus shorter-barrel configurations, making this revolver well-suited for precision target work and handgun hunting at moderate ranges.

Barrel and Sight Considerations

The 6″ barrel provides a longer sight radius, directly contributing to tighter group potential and easier sight alignment. For target-focused shooters, that extra inch of sight radius is a tangible advantage when chasing sub-inch groups at typical handgun distances.

Condition, Value, and Purchasing Notes

Listed as GOOD TO VERY GOOD CONDITION with NO FACTORY BOX, this Model 28-2 is a collector-friendly option for shooters who value serviceable finish and mechanical reliability over new-in-box cosmetics. At a price of $899.99, it competes well against similar vintage or used stainless and blued revolvers on the market.

Check fitment for replacement grips and be mindful that aftermarket holsters and speedloaders may vary; confirming cylinder timing and lockup at receipt is standard practice for used revolvers. View product details and pricing.
