I have a S&W 28-2 N-frame .357 that is almost 34 years old.
It has a 4" bbl and I'm looking for a longer barrel to put on it.
Anyone know where I can get a 6" or 7" barrel for it?
Why not just buy another S&W 28-2 with a 6" barrel?
I'm sure if you look around you can find one pretty
reasonable; perhaps with the letter "S" serial prefix.
I would not want to destroy 34 years worth of history
with a barrel change! The only two barrel lengths that
I know of for the 28-2 are 4 inchers, and 6 inchers. And
both shoot quite nicely.
Model 27's came in 3-1/2, 4, 5, 6, 6-1/2, and 8-3/8 inch barrels. Model 28's were available in 4 or 6 inch trim. Please don't mess up a 4 inch model 28, just go buy a 6 inch model 28.
Concur with the other recommendations: Buy a 6", leave the 4" alone. If you need to raise capital for the 6", your 4" should draw some attention in our "For Sale" forum. Heck, I'd like a 4-incher to go with my 6".
I have a 6-inch with nice trigger that shoots only to the speeds of a 5-inch barrel. Accuracy is plenty good. Want to talk? (If'n I have 6 shots instead of 7, I'm looking at a 586...) It's pre-agreement, but no pin, no recessed chambers.
