If you seek a wider ("bull barrel") model 10 with adjustable sights, look for a mid-1960s era model 14-2 from Dayton Outdoor Sports (or Gun Headquarters depending on who you ask). Uncommon and somewhat pricey when you find one. Happy hunting! |
In addition to the 6" Model 15-5, -6 and -7 S&W also made a wide rib version in 4" . . . and there were also small batches of 4" Model 14s made in addition to the "Dayton" guns that Murphydog mentioned.
Below is a comparison of the traditional 4" Model 14 barrel profile (on left) and the 4" bull barrel Model 14s made for Dayton Gun Hq (on right).
Good luck in your search . . . they are out there,
