I love it! You say it's a 10-6, I see that the barrel is not pinned. No matter, pinned or not, that thing has character oozing out of it.

Looks like that M&P has a few stories, if only it could tell!

I have had the pleasure of looking at a batch of these from this shipment, as the owner that imported them is a close friend. They did come in from Jordan boxed in plastic pistol cases and run from a few M&P's into the model numbered guns. If you are an individual living in the St.Louis area , there are a small number available at Trail Creek Trade on St.Charles Rockroad in St Anne , if you are a dealer you can arrange to buy them from the importer, Williams Shooters Supply located in Quincy,Il 217 222 4195. I have no interest in either of these businesses other than they are owned by good friends and are good companies to do business with. The retail shop in St. Louis has both heavy and standard barrel models but at the whsle level the guns are not divided by Model number or dash production. If you want an example for your collection ,now is the time. There are no mint examples, all have been used . There is a fair number available,but they are going fairly quickly both to collectors and people who just want a "cheap" defensive and shooting revolver. Hope this helps. All my best, Joe.

Several months ago I saw a Jordanian-marked Llama semiauto (I think 9mm, but I'm not sure). I wonder if it was from the same source? This one looked unused.

Interesting how the 10's were used in so many different countries and now starting to come back home. There Was Hong Kong, then 3" Australians, I have one that I had dura coated, now Jordan guns coming in. The preferred ones are the ones that are reimported by S&W and resold here. Since they went back to the original maker they don't have to have the 'bugly import stamps. None the less good solid working guns with many,many, miles left in them.

Dwalt, there also is a fair number of Llama and other autos, but I did not pay much attention to them. I did see some nickel finished guns . Joe.
