Good morning all! Here my the latet video in this series. In this one, the big Model 28 is taking on a very challenging course from the Sooner State. Be sure to let me know what you think!

Good job. Thanks for posting.
That one shot you pulled would have been a pretty bad ouchie on a live target, so I think you should get partial credit for it.

Ha, ha! As I told someone else, there's no extra credit for a lucky shot (unless your in a gunfight!).

Howdy!
Love those M-28s..... and -27s ( esp 5” ) !
And also, my custom 4” M-520 heavy barrel !
Great job on the course !
What was the “load” ?
I shoot only .357Mag-level loads in my .357Mag revolvers, and not .38s.
My favorite load is 158-172gr Lyman SWC over 14.5gr WW296; and SP Mag primer.
With regards,

Once again great job, and you have again proven the revolver is still a valid duty weapon.

158 grain LSWC's over a "healthy" charge of 2400. They zoom along at about 1400 fps out of the M28.

Now that's a cool one! I was just commenting to my wife a couple of days ago that we almost never see motor officers anymore. I'm glad there are still a few around!

Howard, the day I turned 21 waaay back during the waning months of the Nixon Administration, I bought a Model 28 4-inch. This is a big revolver, and you handled that six-inch Smith very gracefully with full-house loads.

I'm a big fan of the Model 28. Owned 3 of them back in the 1970s. This wabbit thought he was safely distant so he stopped, turned around and flipped me off. I handloaded mostly 358156 and 35893 and 357446. Tried some Markell 200gr round nose, too.

Good job, Howard, I too have a fondness for the Big Smiths. It was fun to see that one getting a work out.

They are wonderful revolvers. Big, beefy, and strong! even so, the older ones have a SWEET trigger. I really need to find a Model 27 to keep my 28 company!
