Quick Overview
Overview
The Smith & Wesson Model 28, known as the Highway Patrolman, is a large N-frame revolver chambered in .357 Magnum introduced as a lower-cost alternative to the premium Model 27. It featured a simpler satin-blue finish and lacked the checkered top strap of the Model 27, but retained the same strong N-frame and exceptional reliability. The Highway Patrolman became a favorite among law enforcement agencies seeking an affordable yet durable service revolver.
