The single action pull on that revolver should run about 2 3/4 pounds. If it is much less, it may need new parts. Note that to some folks, 2 or 3 pounds may feel like a "hair trigger" but it is normal for those revolvers. The trigger movement should be a millimeter or less, depending on whether the gun has a trigger stop installed (most Model 28's don't).
For self defense, I tend to agree with dahermit, but also think the Model 28 is too big and heavy to be a practical gun for normal self-defense carry. It is a good service pistol and a good woods gun where it is carried in an outside holster as was intended.
