There is just something about a 4" Model 19 that just looks right. I have 3 Model 19s, but none with a 4" barrel. Always on the lookout for one. You would have to have worn a ski mask to get a better deal.
The G42 has been available for a much longer time than the G28. I have never even seen one of the G28s yet. The G42 is a great shooting and easy carrying little gun. I often carry it when I go for my morning walks.
Colt okayed the use of the 38/44 heavy 38 special load in the Official Police Models. There are still a number of these around, but the price is creeping up. Buffalo Bore has a load that matches that old heavy load. That loads creeps into lower end .357 territory.
I have both, I use the Sig for my nightstand gun. I often carry the Glock in the winter. If I could only keep one, it would be the Glock. If I had to make a head shot at 25 yards, it would be the Sig hands down.
The question was, could the .22 be carried as a self defense option. Some people that know quite a bit about defensive tactics didn't think the .22 was ridiculous. I don't believe that anyone was arguing that it was the best option. I believe the ability to make accurate hits is more...

Go over to the S&W Forum and ask questions and post pictures. They have guys over there that can tell you what the weather was like the day your revolver was made. You got a smoking good deal.
They have a different operation, that is much more robust. Easier to work on. If an older Colt goes out of time, it is difficult to find a gunsmith that will work on them. You can find a gunsmith in most towns that can work on an S&W or Ruger. Not so for an older model Colt.
They are very nice little revolvers, but if you really want a shooter, the new SS models are better. I wish I had bought one of those "Night Cobra" models when CDNN had them for a very good price.
