BTT - PRICE DROP - WTS - Model 10-6 - Here's the story. When I returned from the war in Southeast Asia I was stationed at MacDill AFB. My duty kept me in a locked, secure environment 12 hours per day. We had bought a house in Brandon about twenty miles from the base. We experienced some “unwanted visitors” during some of the days and some nights from time to time and there were incidents of women and children being molested. The sheriff and state troopers were very busy elsewhere and because of time and distance were slow to respond. Accordingly our neighborhood, which was composed of mostly recent veterans, was armed except for my wife and I. After our baby sitter called us out of a neighborhood Hallowe'en party one night on my next day off my wife and I went to Tampa and I bought this S&W10-6 in a small gun shop that I remember as being somewhere on Dale Mabry Blvd. That afternoon we went out into a palmetto grove with a half-gallon milk carton and I taught my wife the rudiments of shooting. Having never fired a pistol before, she promptly put five of six rounds into that carton at about twenty feet. I fired three rounds myself just to see what the Model 10-6 felt like. Then we went home, cleaned the gun and put it back in its box, never to be either loaded or fired again. That was 1972.
I have recently begun to shoot again. I own a very nice, nearly new Model 67 which is the gun I chose to shoot. I have decided it is time to sell the Model 10-6. I am not a collector and see no good reason to keep both of these fine weapons. At some point I might have interest in buying a smaller pistol for concealed carry, although I have no reason to think that I would EVER actually carry one. Nevertheless, given the times and my age, I sometimes ponder having something and I suppose I might be open to trade this Model 10-6 for something like a Sig P232 or Walther PPK or PPK/s with equal history.
For now, I'm offering to sell my Model 10-6 which has had nine rounds through it. The original S&W box broke apart years and many moves ago. I bought a S&W hard case for it, and that is where it has lived ever since. The case will come with the pistol. Payment by postal money order preferred, or as we arrange. Transfer from my FFL to your FFL, of course. Shipping will add $18.00. The photos show the pistol with the original box of Remington wad cutters I bought with the pistol...note: nine empty spaces. I shot this box up at the range in December and that was the first time I had fired a pistol since 1972.
