I too have a really nice first year Highway Patrolman..6 inch gun..Have had it and a mate almost as long in 4 inch. But it is a 1957 made so is an actual 28..no dash. The 4 inch has a set of Mershon grips(predecessor to Pachmayr) and the 6 inch has a set of Pachmayr presentation. I look for Magna grips at all gun shows as the early guns usually didn't come with target grips. One day I will find them. The 28s are revolvers I will never sell. They are some of the most accurate handguns I own. I happen to have 3 Highway patrolman one is as new in the box and is also a 4 inch gun. For some reason I have quite a few S&Ws. Most are the N frames too. I recently bought a Model 17(K 22 made in 1957) and a Model 14(K 38made in 1969). The K-38 I have been shooting a bit. If I keep going the way I am I will wear out the 5 gallon bucket of 38 Special ammo I loaded a few years back. When I loaded it I figured I had a lifetime supply..Doesn't look that way now. When 22 ammo comes back in good supply I will shoot the K-22 more..if it ever does get better on 22 ammo availability. Sorry for not posting much lately. Doctors and hospitals and bad phone lines.
