Yep. Troopers liked the heavy barrel 10-6 but wanted .357 magnum so S&W obliged. It was so popular the Model 13 was born. I know the 681 that the troopers eventually went to were marked NYSP but I don’t know if the 10-6’s were. I have 4 Model 10’s. I’d grab a .357 one in a heartbeat. $700 might be a bit higher than I’d want to pay but I doubt I would let it get away.
