    Anyone know what this is? I cant fine any info on a nickel model 28.

    I had the 6 inch blued model.

    it was a damn fine gun. Just really damn big.

    it will handle anything you put through it.

    I have never owned the 27 or the 28, but have shot quite a few. They are heavy, but damn sweet shooting pistols.

    I passed on 28 about tend years ago, and still regret not buying it.
    Yeah, I had one in the box on the line in Arizona years ago on business. Drove to the guy with cash and he ghosted me. I knew I was overpaying but was still bummed I missed the deal.

    This was 2008 or 2009, and the guy wanted $350 for a 4' blued 28.


    I really hate you Mills! :roflsmile:
    No, this was just a couple of years ago. 4” blues 28 in Phoenix. I was on business in Tucson and drove up to Casa Grande. He didn't show. Box, paperwork and really clean from the photos. Think he wanted 6?

    the 27 is a much more refined version, it’s worth the extra money. My friend and I would shoot the 28 and 27 at the same time. And the difference in trigger was obvious.
