Knowing Better

General Firearms Handguns - Revolvers
1

There was a time in my life that I thought a Smith 28 was just a gun that old men had.
Now I know better.

I did about 12hr of bodywork on it and got it down to a 1000 scratch, blasted and prepared.
Then it went to charcoal blue.
The trigger and hammer were cut down and polished along with the screws.
Installed a custom set of grips out of walnut fit and polished them.
Did my standard action job put a cylinder stop in.

Then all I had to do was get some good pics.

What do you think about my work?

You really should consider doing this for a living. :slight_smile:

Thanks it is a great and wild ride to say the least.
I am living my dream.

That’s beautiful Joe, a one of a kind piece of true craftsmanship.

Nice job!

I love my 28’s. They probably were the best value in .357…ever. They are bomb-proof. When you were out of ammo you still had a pretty good “weapon” in your hand. :slight_smile:

What do you charge for that kind of work?

Thanks for posting.

That is some great work there. The grips are fantastic, and really make a perfect compliment to all the other work.

Very nice work! Who made the grips?

I sent you a PM about the price.

Nice work!

Those are good guns, I wouldn’t mind getting one someday.

That is beautiful work - you’re a craftsman. I AM an olde man and for all the handguns I’ve collected in my rampant addiction my S&W service revolver remains my favorite.

Thank you all
