I have several 10's that I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a Bullseye or PPC match with.

My 6" 10-5 shoots better than my 8 3/8" Model 14, go figure.

It's a HUGE misunderstanding that fixed sight revolvers are "only good for close up" or are "just good enough to hit a man at 10 yards" total nonsense.......S&W does their part to regulate them to a duty load, and they are dead on. Older 10's are regulated for 158 gr. 38's, newer ones tend to be on with 130 gr. +P's.
