Thank you to everyone who responded. I thought about it, and today, when I went to pick up my 22 rifle(for repair) the same model 28 I'd been drooling over was still there, so I paid for it in full. It's incredible how comfortable it is to hold, as heavy as it is. Special thanks to Jim March, and other contributers, for the revolver checkout thread. The cylinder locked up like it was welded to the frame, and the trigger felt great. I now feel confident in my purchase. The price might have been a little steep, but I won't sell this one. Besides It's exactly what I wanted in my first revolver. All function, no frills.
I get to pick her up in ten days...can't wait.
I'll post a pic on the all time pic thread soon after
Thanks.
