My first post. Just came from a friends home. He had purchased a Model 10-7 38, that has the wording Marcus Registradas, under the Made in USA on the right side of the pistol. What is the meaning of this and does it effect the price of the pistol? Thanks for any help.

No, they all say that. And it's Marca Registrada, I believe, rather than the plural. It's Spanish and it means, essentially, that the S&W logo is trademarked. Does not affect the value.

My model 10-6
I have fancier,more powerful guns but there's just something about this old girl that makes me keep her around.She has seen a lot of action and still locks up tight and shoots where pointed.Right now her home is on my nightstand,a fixture in my home,she lays there with my keys,wallet,and my Frank Beltrame switchblade after a hard days work.I love this old gun and it is as much of my home as the front door.I guess we have been together way too long to ever part ways lol.

Arise, arise! No idea how this gets off of page 1
My latest few:
Really need a silver or gold t grip to replace the black one on the pre-10 snub.
And a lefty holster. Some guns are too good to retire

I was stuck between this 10-7 and a M60 Chiefs Special. I went to the range after I had made my decision and I am extremely satisfied and happy with what I brought home!

O.K. I have a Model 10 (sort of) coming to me from G.B. It started out as a 10-6. I don't know who built it. Never saw a 8.75" barrel on 1. If ANYONE can tell me anything about it please do so. I will post real pictures after I get it. Bob

My 1 and only Model 10. (sort of) It started life as a 10-6 (1967) Then in the 70's it was converted by Cheshire & Perez in Ca. Around 1980 PPC limited barrel length to 6". This has a reach out 8&3/8". Got it earlier this month. Smoothed trigger, and action job are obvious. This was won on G.B. for $505. In my book, a lot of gun for the money. I do not plan any completion shooting. Do want to try it on steel plates at 50 yds. Bob

My 10-11 with CTC laser. No idea of the history behind this gun...picked it up last month from my LGS. Shoots great. My spousal unit has adopted it as her own. I probably won't see it again until the batteries give out.

I guess there's something to be said for "shot very little, carried every day" I ordered this M-10 from Bud's on a lark knowing anything was possible. This is one of the Aussie trade in police revolvers. I am very happy with it after a little bit of clean up she is a keeper!

Model 10-6 from 1972
I bought this Model 10-6 while stationed in Florida. Shown is the box of .38 wad cutters I bought with it. This gun has had nine rounds through it. I have a Model 67 which I am shooting with now. I carry neither. P1010408.jpg

10-5 snubby
LGS doesn't get too many older smiths in that actually make the counter. Owner hordes them. I would too in their position. Anyways they offered me this one and i couldn't refuse. I know there are vast quantities of these out there but its the nicest used revolver i have.

Picked this 10-10 on Friday. My first model 10. Love the heavy barrel and round butt combination. Got it for what I think was a good price. Shoots great too.

My 2, 2016 Model 10 purchases. 10-6 (1967 frame) built in California in the 70's. 10-5 snub from 1974. They are extremely different from each other as you can see. I shoot the 10 snub much better than a J frame. Bob

I'd show mine....
I could just hold my mod 10 and look at it. Unfortunately I had to trade it. But it is some consolation that I traded it in for a 686.

Are you sure that's not a "5 Screw" ? I have one that my dad bought just before he retired from Detroit Police in 1977. There's a 5th screw under the right side grip, near the top. I believe these were called the "Pre-10"

Can you please educate me to just what makes your 1st pic a "Pre-10" ??? I have the exact 5 screw snubby in Nickel but serial #'s indicate it was manufactured in 1977. That also coincides with the original purchase permit date on my dad's safety inspection certificate when he purchased this gun in 1977, shortly before he retired from the Detroit PD. Mine has the later style wood grips (without the diamond shape over the mounting screw), which I have no reason to believe they're anything but original, and mostly found on the Post 1970 ish revolvers. I was considering trading it for a more modern 5 shot AirWeight, and got a quick trade in offer yesterday at the local gun shop. I also checked GunBroker.com today and saw a Blued version of a Pre-10 that's already bid up about $150 OVER the seller's starting bid, and considerably higher than the trade in offer I got yesterday from the Gun Shop.
Still determined to become further educated, I stumbled on this forum and after reading the last few year's posts, I'm now having 2nd thoughts about even parting with this gun.
This was dad's EDC gun, but he only carried for about 5 years after his retirement, and I can't ever remember him even going to the range.
I'm sure he shot it, but doubt he ran more than 500 rounds through it. It's mechanically pristine in every respect, and only shows the usual, and very minimal small wear marks from holstering. The original wood grips show NO wear at all.
Can you please enlighten me about the seemingly popularity of the Model 10, and more specifically the Pre-10 ?
I've got a hunch. It may be, that S&W had some left over parts already machined for their older 5 screw models.
The City of Detroit, MAY have made a deal to purchase a bulk order of these 'Revolvers" at a discounted price.
S&W agreed to stamp "Detroit Police" on the back straps, in return for the City's agreement to purchase a "Bulk Order" of a certain quantity, which, the City then, resold to it's officers.
S&W couldn't call these a Model 10-5, as you suggest, but sold these guns using older parts that were already In Stock, at reduced pricing. Therefore, the term,,,,, "Pre-10" for the revolvers sold to the City of Detroit in 1977.

I'd appreciate your thoughts & comments on my theory.
Thank you so much, & all the best

Please do not part with this gun. You will regret it in the future.. I speak from experience. It is an heirloom (Really) and if you let it go, someday, you will be kicking yourself. If you need money. contact me and we can work a deal where I buy it and you can have an option to buy it back later.

Why is it so darned hard to find a 2", post war, round butt, pre model 10? Are you guys hoarding them, or do they not exist?

I picked up a "police trade" model 10, to use as a "shooter". I already had a Model 19-3, blued, but wanted a range beater-type revolver in .38 special.
Is the nickel finish that appears to be satin-nickel, the same as those that have been polished? Mine looks like matte finish, in good shape, but those shiney nickel are curious to me as I don't know if they are just ones that have been polished, or, a different finish altogether.

Here's another "Pre" Model 10, a Military and Police .38 shipped April 1949. Extremely smooth action, and still locks up like new. Probably carried much and shot little, typical investigators undercover gun:
This is a classic thread. The M&P, later the Model 10 was Smith and Wessons "Bread and butter gun" for about a hundred years!!
Keep them coming...
Best Regards, Les
