I’ve had my old S&W Mod 28 Highway Patrolman since 1972. It was 4 lbs of solid steel. When I was a liquor store clerk in the 70’s I had a punk throw a bottle and come over the counter at me. Didn’t have time to aim & shoot, but I smacked him upside the head with that 4lbs of iron and stopped him cold. Then in the 80’s carried it as my service weapon with the Police Dept. as a certified reserve patrolman. Heck of a chunk of metal, thousands of rounds of practice ammo practicing for bi-annual qualifications for 6 years. Never a misfire, jam or problem.
Feels like 4 lbs but it’s actually only about 2 and a half
