This is one of those days that only comes around every few years. Got a sweet local deal on two of my favorite revolvers. A Model 66 snubby (no dash - 1976-77) and Model 10-5 snubby (1969).
​


The Model 66 came with the original box and paperwork. It looks to be 98-99%. It's awesome. It came with a price so low that I feel guilty (almost). Started with a "3"...okay, $399. Yup. Hard to believe.








The Model 10-5 is in great shape. A few dings in the wood grip and mid-90% bluing. Only wear is on the corner right in front of the cylinder. Came with an incorrect box. In fact, the box is for a very very early 66 snub. Also, the price was ridiculously low $240.

Jeez, you paid prices similar to when they first hit the shelves!

I need to move to NC! The 66 beats what I have to pay in Georgia by a good bit. The 10-5 is what I pay on a "very" fortunate day.

I know. Seriously. I almost had the sack to ask for a discount for buying two....but thought better of it and just paid up.

EDIT: In response to DocB above....these are not normal prices. Not by a long shot. I am moving to where you are if I can find K frame snubs for under $300.

You have every right to be proud of that double snag!
Thanks for posting what you paid, that makes the story.

Yep, that's a big win right there. I rate your purchase A+++++

Wow, my kinda deal. Congrats on a great score.

You did really well with that deal. Congratulations, those are beautiful revolvers.

Congrats!

You got the 66 at a discount and thus the 10 for free. ;-)

What part of Charlotte NC?! Congrats those are nice grabs neighbor

I live and work near SouthPark area...I am also on the local NC forums, "Prosecutor" if you visit any of those.

Awesome buying spree lately, congrats.

Wow. Incredible. Fantastic revolvers

You find a deal like that every five years or so? I'd be thrilled to find a deal like that ONCE in my life! In my neck of the woods you'd pay $600-$650 for the model 66 by itself - if you could even find one. You got the model 10 for free in my book.

NICE!

I was gonna ask about pricing on a model 10-5 snub I found at the gun show today . the guy wanted $525.it was clean and tight. I live in California so everything is expensive. No deals like that around here!!! Maybe I'll offer him $400 and see what he says. Nice old revolvers are hard to find these days. You definitely scored!

I've bought a few blued Model 10 snubs in the last few months, not including the square butt listed above.

Paid $350 for a 10-9 with a bubba hammer bob and a weird stamping below the cylinder. Started a thread about it on here not long after.

Found another blued round butt 10-5 at Hickory, NC gun show and snatched it ip for $400 cash. I'd say it is a low-mid 90% gun. Locks up tight. There were others like it at the show.

Bought another blued round butt on gunbroker for $435 but was into it for $485 aftet shipping and transfer. It is 97% gun, to the extent we can be that specific.

In my experience, you can usually find these between $375 (a bit rough) and $450 (quite good condition), at least in NC.

Incidentally, snagged a 3" square butt in excellent condition on Gunbroker "buy it now" for $400 a few months ago. Never know what is out there.

Round butt and excellent condition nickel seem to get a premium.

My point, is that $525 should yield super condition 10 snub with box...anything less than collector grade can be had for a lot less...here. I don't "collect, so I like "shooter grade." Carry and shoot everything.

A pinned / recessed 66 2 1/2 " in the original box 99 % is a $ 1,200 gun
to a collector . The snub 10 , probably $ 575 .
You scored BIG in my opinion.
