Why Was Hip Shooting Ever a Thing?
For a span of about 40-50 years in the middle of the last century, the majority of people who carried a gun for a living were taught to fire it from hip leve...

I purchased this HP M28 for 800 bucks. I had to clean it up, but oh baby, she's a great .357. If I'm going sans sights on an N frame, give me a 1917.
A true repro of a HD would be 38 Spl. not .357. Or maybe I missed something.

Does it take Glock mags?
Also, does it have an optics cut?

When the HD was issued for the hotter .38 Specials, S&W had no "middle" frame size such as the.

L-frame today. So S&W used its N-frame to be sure to handle the newer cartridge. At the same
time, Colt reminded its buyers that the Official Police had proven to be able to handle the new
round. The Official Police frame was that "middle" size which later was used for the .357.
Back in those days, Colt provided a simply more handy revolver than S&W with its N-frame and
could continue to dominate the police market. Many such as myself always have found the
N-frame just a bit too big to handle efficiently.

While it is missing the 4th screw it has the upper sideplate screw and no safety lock. So it is a 95% repro.
I note the Heavy Duty and Outdoorsman have a cachet to them, remained in production long after the .357 was introduced.

Sorry, it’s just a trick of using a meme generator and some photos. It’s not a real thing. I made it up.
That's how I see it.
The L frame, had several, even carried a 4” on duty. Way to heavy for that. They were okay for competition but once I stopped competing, they were sold or traded.
If you are content with the 38/357 class of cartridges, the L frame is fine. I prefer the 45 ACP, N frame, but… that is me. You do you.
