I do a lot of boondocking-trail rideing on our ATV. The gun that go`s with me the most is this old 1953 M&P. It`s as simple as it gets. Light to pack, I dont worry about scratching up my pythons or 27, and it`s this same gun that stays loaded in arms reach in the bed room. The exspendsive safe queens are locked in the safe. I wouldnt be surprised if some study was done and it was found that this gun held the most popular spot for a old time police revolver.

Nice gun!. Years ago, I got my dad a 1971 M-10 like new in the box. He always wanted one (he simply refered to it as "THE .38 Special" or "The old policeman's revolver" as it's what he remembers fondly hanging on the belts of policemen growing up in Jackson, Mississippi and seeing in movies and tv. Everytime I refer to it as "your model 10" he looks at me like "my what?" and then elaborate "your Smith & Wesson .38" LOL!!
I got him a swivel holster on E bay for carry when he goes hiking in the woods. (Looking for a belt slide to hang it on now
)
