Smith & Wesson N Frame Model 28-2 Hammer Block – Old Style
Restore your Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman's passive safety system with this factory-original hammer block. The hammer block is a critical internal safety component that prevents the firing pin from contacting the primer unless the trigger is fully depressed — keeping the revolver safe against accidental discharge from drops or impacts. This old-style used OEM part is a direct factory replacement for the N Frame Model 28-2 chambered in .357 Magnum.

Finding Your Model Number
Swing out the cylinder and check behind the yoke on the frame. Model numbers have been stamped there since 1957–58. If your revolver has no model number, it predates that era — contact us with the serial number and we'll help identify the correct part.
