I think the S&W 28 is a S&W 29. The barrel doesn't appear to taper, and the rounds look too big to be .38/357. And what the heck happened to Gerard Depardieu? He has really let himself go. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:49, 19 July 2014 (EDT)
- I looked again and again, and I think that you are right. One more reason is the height of front sight in comparison with muzzle size, it matches .44 better than .357. Greg-Z (talk) 15:00, 19 July 2014 (EDT)
It's a .357 magnum S&W N-Frame. Look at the barrel where it joins the frame. There is a very distinctive taper. The Model 29 has a heavier bull barrel. No taper.
