Hmmm. The gun store wants you to buy a new gun rather than just keep your M28. That's surprising...
It wasn't like that. It was a very long phone call. The first part was about what I wanted to have done to my M28, which led to a discussion of what they could do, what they recommended doing, and so on. She explained everything very clearly. After asking her if she was the lady in the YouTube video (she was), I asked her what her advice would be, at which point she said her advice was to put my gun "in the safe", and buy a new gun, such as a new S&W 357 revolver that she said should cost me around $800 or so.
She also told me that some parts for my M28 were already getting difficult to find, and MrBorland confirmed that up above regarding the strain screw.
When I entered this thread, I was expecting to order a new gun, most likely the S&W. The more I read, both here and elsewhere, the more I think it's a better idea to just keep my using my M28. :banghead:
(I've always enjoyed guns like the M28 and M29, as to me, they look the way a revolver is "supposed to look", and I've very much enjoyed shooting them. I also like the fact that it's not impossible to work on, if one takes a lot of time, has enough patience, and has access to people who know so much about it, as are found in this forum.)
