I've been away from the shooting hobby for about 15 years, due to a back injury that just made a mess of me - however things have gotten much better (the difference a GOOD physical therapist can make is so big.) After having to sell my old firearms, to keep a roof over my head, one by one, til well, the roof money ran out and I ended up homeless and gunless. But since things are improving, and I have grown to really miss shooting revolvers, I have started pouring over my options. I was rather shocked to see how few firearms are being made blued, as compared to about 30+ years ago - everything is stainless, and not even polished stainless. Not that I dislike a good matte stainless steel finish mind you, it's just that I guess I am missing the 28's and 586's I once had, and that beautiful - almost want to make them safe queens, but toooo awesome not to put rounds through - blue is just calling to me!
But with the n-frames now capable of holding 8 rounds, man - I would love to see that blued performance center Model 28 get a modern cylinder. Hell, the 586 too, with a 7 round cylinder. Hell, a polished stainless model with those classic design of both would be the 3rd and fourth I grab. (Though at least the 686 does have a polished model though it doesn't seem to be um, legal in Massachusetts, so ... sigh.
Still, one can dream, and this is a wish list forum, so I can still dream of that beautiful blued model 28 with the long barrel and 8 rounds of .357/38-Special +p fun.
