I got out grouse hunting for the first time this season yesterday.
Along with the shotgun I carried my Smith M28 .357 Magnum in a Ted Blocker DA 1 holster with thumbsnap. The holster held the gun tight to my side and the weight of the N-frame didn't bother me at all.
I loaded the M28 with Black Hills 125 grain .357 Magnum ammo. I'd have preferred 158 grain loads, but didn't have any on hand.
I didn't fire a shot from the shotgun or the pistol. It was hot and the grouse avoided us. It was nice to have the M28 on hand, however, especially after I put the shotgun down and started fishing for trout in a pond near where we started hunting.
The M28 is a neat revolver. It works just about as well as a "woods gun" as my Old Model Ruger Blackhawk and reloads are much quicker.
