Always wanted a 4" Highway Patrolman, located one by chance at a shop about an hour up the road.
Freely admit I'm not immersed in SW culture and pricing - what do you all see the following bringing $$$ ?
4" Clean gun, very light turn ring (dealer claims unfired - OKKKK, lol) Faux Stag grips No original grips No box
Fire away...

Guessing, since they don't seem to turn up much. $800-$1100. Most seem to be advertised higher but no telling what they sell for.

There’s a -2 at a local shop here for $900. Hogues. No box. Pretty good shape. I’ve got a 27-2, so I’m resisting. Seems like all revolvers are crazy high around here these days. $900 would have fetched a pretty nice model 29 not long ago.

For some reason N frames are selling at a premium right now. Good choice for heavy 357 loads. Hasbeen

Would say if you can get it for $800 as described that's not bad in these times.....when you start talking $1k that is more like Model 27 territory.

Bought my 6" -2 about two years ago for $650 or so. I would say it's condition isn't as good as the one you're describing. I'd say 800-850 is about right. Keep in mind that shop may be an hour or less from me too, so that is a local price.

Well big difference in 28 values depending on serial number prefixes. The S prefixed ones came first with lots of craftsmanship and attn in their assembly , they rate the highest values. They were followed.by the N prefix guns which aren't quite as nice. They are both damn nice shooters imho.. mb

Before the Biden runup starting maybe...September or so of last year...$600 at just normally inflated prices. Now...I guess you might have to pay $800-900.
There really isn't a lot of difference between model 27 and model 28 prices, mainly because there isn't much difference between a model 27 and a model 28.

I give too hunna fitty dollas. Or at least I did in 1978 I am astounded at current market prices of utilitarian old working guns.

Can't agree with you there buddy. All other things being equal, a pre-lock 27 is going to sell on average for a solid $150 or more than a 28.

I thought $800 would be about fair in the current climate and sounds like the resounding number from the replies above. They want $1300 - thought it was higher than giraffe puzzy but had to do a sanity check. The search continues.

If it was absolutely mint and had everything with it...you'd still have to want it pretty bad.

Gloss vs Satin finish. Especially since the Revolver the OP mentioned doesn’t have a Factory Box or the original grips.

I sold an un-fired, cylinder had never been turned 4” M28, a year or so go for $1200. As new with box and all the fixings to include original receipt when sold new.
I used the funds to purchase a 95% 4” and 85% 6” M28.

I used the funds to purchase a 95% 4” and 85% 6” M28. Sure, but that is a collector's gun. I believe we are talking about shooter condition here. Re the difference between Model 27s and 28s, all I can say is I paid $600 for my 4" 28 in good condition, and $750-$1200 for three 27s, a 3.5" , 5" and 8 & 3/8". Having said all that, there is a 28 for sale on the S& W Forums that I would call fair conditon, that he started at $1200 and has now gradually reduced to $1050. No takers. Crazy times.....
