You are so right about everyone should own one! Probably the best deal around and still plentiful.
I only own one Model 10 and need to correct that! Think I'll look for a factory nickeled one also !

That is a fine pair of pistols and a fine post celebrating your purchase. Nice pics. I have a handful of Model 10's and besides shooting well, they look great, too!

Those are an absolutely awesome set of twins! I have a set, but they are blue HB 10-8s. But there is something great about the model 10s that is very appealing, and a pair makes it double so!!
Best Regards, Les

Great looking revolvers. I have two model 10s, a pre model 10 and a heavy barrel 10-8. I love the history of these guns. To some they are not very impressive and only shoot 'weak' .38s. But no matter who you are it cannot be denied how important these guns were to the history and development of handguns. And of course them being abundant and affordable is always a plus!

Very nice HB 10-8's! There is something about 5" nickel M10's that is almost elegant!

I'm envious--my pne 10-5, a four-inch from 1967, is on loan to a friend at thew moment.
The Model 10 is my idea of a damn near perfect all-around revolver, and I love the standard barrel of the -5 for its looks but also for the balance. It just points better for me than a heavy barrel.

My next quest is a cheap shooter grade 10. Took delivery of a 2" model 34 today. Unlike many smith 22's this one chambers and ejects all six types of ammo smoothly. Nice model tens and shooter grades are thankfully stil easy to find
