Just foolin' around with my toys this morning while the wife is at work, I realized how much fun model 10s are. They are a hoot to shoot and are still almost affordable to collect.
Thought I'd share a quick picture of my 3 10-5s, 2", 4", and 6" and my 10-6 4"
How about a New Years Model 10 picture thread, lets see 'em guys.
Happy New Year to All!

Only one Model 10 in my safe. I haven't fired it yet. Normally I shoot what I buy ASAP, but this one was so nice that I have just let it be a safe queen. I know, I know, Model 10s are a dime a dozen. There's just something about this one.
Which means I probably need to buy a less pristine one to shoot.

I really like my M10s and M & Ps. I consider them my "relaxed" Smith & Wessons. They shoot well, to point of aim, and have little recoil. They are great plinkers superseded only by a .22 for relaxation.
I have a 2 inch M10 as well but its waiting for pictures.

I use to pick them up from here and there for $125. Now I don't even own 1!! I think I'd really like to find a nice 5". Guess I'll have to keep looking. Those are some fine looking pieces of blued steel by the way!

I hope this one is OK. I think it's against federal law to discriminate because of age.

Here's my 'well worn' 10-6. Great to carry, great to shoot, and looks good too.

Thanks Chad! I sold the twin to yours about five years ago when I first registered on this forum. Just when I thought that my leg had healed from kicking myself over and over in the ***** you had to go post that pic!
Sorry, no model 10 but I have a nice Model 64-3. Does that count?

Semperfi71 -
Those two M10s on top are spectacular! What condition! Where did you find such specimens? Or, have they been in the family for years? Thanks for posting a photo of great guns!

Have lots of Model 10s and M&Ps. The Heavy Barrel is a sentimental favorite but I like the looks of the tapered barrel better. I can't discern much difference in shooting qualities between the two in 4-inch guise.

10-5, 1967. Absolutely nothing unique about it, but I love shooting it.
I usually prefer target sights, but there's no arguing with this:

That's a good question but I haven't been able to identify the wood yet. I pulled them off and the unfinished wood is dark also. I am not a woodworker and can only guess. Maple?
ETA - I bought the revolver over the net from a dealer so I don't know who the previous owner was.

Ah, guess I should have been more clear. I was asking about the configuration and size a bit more. My bad but thanks for the answer as it sounds like you didn't make them anyways.
Currently considering a smaller set of grips than the standard Magnas for my 10-8. The Missus finds even them too big for her hands.

Thanks guys for all the replies, some beauties out there.
Seems I'm not the only one with a fondness towards the old model 10.
Keep 'em coming and Happy New Year!

Hello. Yes, they are loads of fun as well as being most useful revolvers for my applications.
I favor them highly.

MacGuffin,
There are actually not that pristine. The pictures were taken in the shade of my "Doghouse" and just turned out nice.
The top, a M&P from about 1952, has a bit of blue wear on the high spots and some small pits to the right side of the barrel. But nothing that effects its shooting. I am contemplating getting rid of the faux stags, they are a bit cheesy.
The second from top is a M&P made in 1919. It also has blue wear on ths high points, someone carried it in a holster a lot. But other wise it is in excellent mechanical condition and shoots well also.
I bought them at the Albuquerque gun show two years ago.

Here's a fuzzy pic of my safequeen Model 10 HB with diamond grips. Born in 1961, I don't believe it's been fired since leaving the factory.

Wow, what a great response!
Thanks to all for showing off these great old guns. Glad to see the Model 10 is still alive and well.

I have never owned a Mod.10, but my first issued service pistol was a Mod.64-3 SB 4"HB, SN# 30D1224. When we transitioned to the GLOCK, I lost that pistol
Fast forward to about two years ago, Mike aka ladder13 got me a "new" Mod.64-3 SB 4"HB, SN# 30D1172! I couldn't be prouder. I later augmented the 4" with an NY-1 2". Smith really got it RIGHT with the M&Ps!!!

Model 10s rock! I am now carrying a 10-5 every day. It's every thing you need in a sidearm and nothing you don't I recently put a set of Ahrends grips on mine. They make this fine gun even better. The one thing I like about the model 10 is that when you shoot it it just hangs there with almost no recoil. This makes for very fast follow up shots. Smith & Wesson got it right when they designed the K frame

OK-here's some more! Top, transition 6", easily 99%. Bottom, 4" postwar M&P, also mint.
Next up, everyone's favorite, a 3" 10-8, modified to DAO for LAPD carry.
