3" square butt Model 10
Picked up a Model 10-5 3 inch square butt today. She has some finish wear but locks up tight, no end shake and the trigger feels good.
Cleaned her up a little today, hosed out the internals and put a few drops of oil on pivot points. The magna grips were pretty ******, so they're soaking in acetone and will be oiled when clean, put on a set out of the safe for now. With a Tyler grip adapter, she really balances and fills up my big mitts pretty well.
Off to the club for a few rounds in the morning, I'm thinking this could make a pretty decent IDPA piece. Likely paid a little much at $350,but I haven't ever found another 3 inch square butt. Serial is D527***, I'd guess around mid-seventies?

That is nice. I prefer the round butt for shooting, but sure would have jumped on yours.

I'd have jumped on that for $350 too. I've always liked the feel of 3" K frames. Let us know how it shoots.

Very nice find. 3inchers are always popular and 350 seems to be par for the course these days.

let me know...
if you want to part with it, a 3" would do good at my falling plates matches. I have a m.10 and a m.15 snub, use both for plates matches, both square butt, which i prefer. You are right, slap a Tyler tee on those magnas, and it just doesn't get much better for grip and balance. I think you did just fine. But you knew that already...

3" model 10's should have been a standard sales item. I never see/saw them around where I live.

I consider the 3" barrel as the Best barrel length for carry.
I have a 3" 66, 64 and 13 models S&Ws (Also a Ruger 3" service six) . The 13 being my favorite of the group for carry.
They are all round butts. I would love a model 3" model 10 too. The other 3" I would like is an early model 686.
Good luck with your new revolver.
Fred
