S&W N Frame Model 28-2 Stock Alignment Pin .357 Magnum – Part# 28171

Smith & Wesson N Frame Model 28-2 Stock Alignment Pin – Old Style

Replace a worn or missing stock alignment pin on your Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman with this factory-original component. The stock alignment pin (also called the grip locating pin) indexes the grip panels to the frame, ensuring they seat flush and consistently in the same position every time — a missing pin allows grips to shift or rotate on the frame, affecting both feel and appearance. 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.
