Box it up and send it back to S&W with your story.
All they can say is NO.
It's decommissioned for all intent & purposes anyhow.
Hate that it happened.

Sheriff it ain't rated for "diddle squat" now.
Most all the bullets got their noses ripped off or the shells/slugs crushed.
Took me 3 days to recover the parts that i have.
Have some 2 inch S&W - 686, & 649. Maybe i'll swipe my wife's 638 & put it on the mower. Naa.. she might go looking for it someday. What could i saw if i ground that one up also. Gota look for another 4 or 6 inch S&W in the 38 caliber - like a K-Frame.. Its Snake Season here in North Florida now. Nailed 2 rattlers two weeks ago.

Damn, I'm glad I built a condo and don't cut the grass any longer. So sorry for your loss.

It was the snakes day of jubilation.
reminds me of the time I ran over my brand new SS. Gerber Multi-tool with the snow blower.
The Multi-tool made out just slightly better than your Smith. (man and I thought I was sick). I ended up cutting the tool out of the snow blower where it had welded itself. Opened that new 36" Huskey dual auger like a tin can then welded it back closed. I was more sick about the snow blower at the time. (brand new snow blower).
What a shame about your revolver. You have my heart felt sympathy.
As for a new snake gun,,,,
Have you considered the "Snake Charmer" 410? easy to shoot with one hand and a better snake slayer than any revolver.
Personally, I think the "Judge" is a bit ugly but a lotta guys like 'em.....
just my dos pesetas

Ouch! I'd send it off to S&W requesting a high gloss re-blue and see what they send back.
Have you considered a Sigma or M&P? Either of those would be less wear and tear on the mower.

Gunbroker...
Ahhh, you can list that on Gunbroker and recover some of your costs. Just mention some minor "holster wear."
I think this could be a nice candiddate for someone with good photoshop skills.
This is you S&W.
This is your S&W on John Deere!
Any questions???

Or better: This is what will happen to your Model 10 if you shoot +P ammo in it:
Sorry to hear about your loss and I truly feel your pain. Luckily no one was hurt or killed as the piece was ejected out from the mower deck. I can just hear those bastard liberals then.
If you want, I can send a bagpiper or two for the burial.

Deere always has built one hell of a mower.
If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny. Call S&W for a return label. The worst they can say is no, and you're no worse off than you are now. Who knows? they might actually send you a replacement. But take good photos of the gun and your mower and send them to John Deere. You might even see it re-created in a TV ad. (And maybe get a few bucks, too.) If I'm not mistaken, it has to be reported to BATFE as "destroyed". S&W can do that for you as well. -Ed.
