Three successive M10's kept me company on many long, dark nights when I was working uniform patrol in the late 70's to early 80's. It seemed like enough gun back then...blue steel, six shot, .38 Special...simple, reliable and effective. The old M&P will always have a special place in my heart. I have a couple today. I seem to amaze some of the younger fellows at the range when I run one of my M10's in combat mode. They seem surprised that the old fart with the antique revolver can put bullets into the vitals of a target and reload and put some more into it very quickly.
