So I was on the look for a model 10 or 64 4" barrel, but had to sell a couple guns to make it possible. Sold one, had some cash in hand, but then I had the opportunity on two different model 10-5's. One was a square butt pencil barrel 4" and the other was a 2" RB HB. I was really torn. I worked a deal between the wife and the guy with the 4" and ended up with both.



The snub came in the original box with a date stamp of October 1966. The 4" did not have any box or paperwork, so I'm not sure the date for that gun. Both are very nice, but the snubby is like new except for a small blemish on the barrel. Took a little cleaning on the extractor and center pin spring to get it working right, but was just old oil gunked up inside.

Overall I'm pretty happy with my new revolver! They'll go great with my Model 36 and 640
