Everyone needs a Model 10
But I foolishly traded away many a 10 over the years for other stuff.
Now I'm thinking every Smith revolver owner (or at least collector) needs at least two - one 4" standard barrel and a 2" snubby, just to form the basis of the collection.
All I have right now is a Victory Model. I shot it yesterday in an IDPA match. Drew a little interest from folks who had never seen one.

M&P shipped my birth year, 1948.
Same M&P with a 10-7. I thought I had a better picture of the -7

Model 10-10
Anyone know what the deal with the red and white lettering? I've never seen that on any others.

S&W 10-9 (left) and 10-6 (right, somehow has the gas ring on the cylinder like a 10-8, but with pinned barrel and stamped 10-6, with serial # in the 10-6 range):

Dunno about it, but I think it looks kinda snazzy. I've heard a grease pencil (maybe a crayon?) can be used to fill in the stamping to get that effect, though.

Does a post-war M&P count?

Some people use regular crayons, but they make this stuff to show off the lettering.

This one's been in before, but I haven't gotten around to getting some new photos. 1926 or so, 5" barrel. Adaptor is an old Pachmayr.

My latest find . A 1957 4 screw just before the Model 10 designation started. Gun is 99.9% looks unfired, with a slight turn ring on cylinder. Complete with numbered box, papers and cleaning rod and brush.

I showed this off some time ago and I still think it's a nice example of an "S" serial numbered M&P.

OK-here's two more. A '47 transition 6" and a '53 M&P, both .38s. Both possibly unfired.

Some sweet looking K frames here folks. I love to see the old well used Model 10's and M&P's. I wish I still had my old NYPD M&P I got here on the Forum for dirt cheap! Just got a Model 10-7 and a Model 10-6 HB. Nice to have two old work horses again. Have to get some pics up of them soon.

Question
I see alot of good looking model 10's on this site. I know that alot have been made, but I have not seen alot of nickel 6 inchers. Are they a rare breed?
Thanks

Hey CH47 gunner. Just noticed your name and the 1st AVN BDE patch. I served with the 271st ASHC at Cantho army airfield 70-71. Welcome Brother.

W.V.Martin - cool, another Hooker.
I was with the 213th ASHC (BlackCats) out of Phu Loi, III Corps, 1969-1970.
Ironically, the main reason I wanted this specific Model 10 was this is the same S&W model I carried as an Army helicopter crewmember.
Welcome home to you also.

Crew carry weapon
When I first got to the Innkeepers I was issued a Colt 45, then after a few months they took those away from us and issued us these little Colt 38 snubby that was a tiny thing that was very light as well as worn to the point that you couldn't hit the floor with it. I got a Browning Hi-Power 9mm from a VC weapons cache that we hauled out of Ca Mau and carried that home with me. I had it untill it was stolen from me. I really loved that gun. Well it's good to here from another Hooker. Again, welcome home Bro.
W.V. Martin.
