Item Description: This is a S&W Model 28-2 .357 Magnum with pinned 4 inch barrel, recessed cylinder, and nickel finish. The grips are original albeit modified, and there's a small amount of corrosion/wear behind the cylinder on one side (last picture is a close-up of this area).
Price is firm at $600. Cash is preferred but I'm open to trading for a S&W 340PD or similar, gold coins/bullion, scrap gold jewelry, or especially generous trade offers.
For a firearm manufactured roughly half a century ago, it's in very good condition. Mechanically it's flawless, and it shoots like a dream.
It has a pinned barrel, meaning that the barrel was locked in place by inserting a pin through the frame and barrel threads, as well as a recessed cylinder, meaning that the cylinder was counterbored to accommodate the cartridge rims, allowing for a much closer fit between the frame and cylinder than on new Model 27/28s.
As a cost saving measure, S&W stopped pinning and recessing in 1982. They're cosmetic enhancements - to be sure, new 27/28s are every bit as safe and reliable as old 27/28s - but the pinning and recessing on 27/28s is considered a hallmark from a bygone era. An era when American manufacturers employed American men to craft high quality American goods.
