The ubiquitous Model 10

[OLDSTER]

Found this nice 10-5 at a decent price and couldn't pass it up ( who can pass up a standard barreled 10 anyway ? ) Dates to 1965 and mechanically sound as a rock. These things are one of the remaining consistently "good deals" in a fine S&W revolver. Let's see some of yours

Please excuse the "sun-flash". That was not included in the deal

Hard to beat a Model 10 for a working handgun!!

 

[JP@AK]

Okay. I'll play.

Here's mine, a Model 10-6 heavy barrel:

A great field revolver and carry piece.

The Model 10's Stainless brother, Model 64 heavy barrel:

This particular revolver is one I have carried in the field for years, canoeing, hiking and hunting. Has since been appropriated by my wife for her carry piece...

I found this one "NIB" at my LGS and I just could not resist... It dates to 1968... I love the "history" of this model and this example's DOB... MLK, RFK, Chicago Democratic convention and riots in Baltimore, Chicago, D.C.... Actually, it seems it's time may have come again!

I was looking at one the other day - heavy barrel, looked like it was in about 90% condition priced at $410. I already have a 15-5 and didn't have the cash to spare so I passed on it.

Already posted pics in the favorite S&W revolver thread, but what the heh.....model 10-5, born in 1974, obtained by me 1991:

There are some who feel a 10 (or 64) is a must-have handgun. IMO, they are not wrong. Yesterday, I took a mint 2" 10-5 to the range, a gun I have not shot in maybe 3 years. I ran it through my informal pie plate drills and was amazed how well it handled and how easily it shot. I cleared the drills more easily than I do with my beloved Js.

My 2 4" HB casino 64s ( Hi policerevolvercollector!) almost shoot themselves in these drills. Their bull barrels make double taps routine. My pencil barrel 64 is a good compromise between ballistics and ease of carry/shooting.

I am perhaps fortunate that these guns almost never appear in the valley. Obtaining more 10s/64s might make shooting a job, rather than a pleasure.

The everliving, everlasting Model 10. Here's mine, a Detroit Police version in nickel.

Looks like you treat your Model 10s right with the beautiful elk stags

Here's a shiny one

 

[Fredo Batali]

I have one or two that I like a lot. First off a M10-5 nickle, Detroit Police five-inch, next a M10-5 blue, five-inch, and last, but surely not least, a M10-5 blue, two-inch, round butt.

It's not all that pretty but shoots okay.

Those are six shots each at 5, 7, 10, and 15 yards, double action.

It's going to my son in a few months.

[redlevel]

I can play! Picked up this 10-5 a few weeks back for less than $300. One of my best buys recently.

Most of my threads on Mod 10's go about 4 replies long!

So in celebration ...

A Mod 10 from 1962

A 3 inch PD trade in.

A dash 5 ready for patrol.

And one that had been on patrol for a long time, I changed out the grips.

IMO one of the best models ever made, If I see one I buy it pretty sad but I love em. Model of 1905's. pre -models, hand ejectors, model 10's I have to have them. They are great revolvers, 2 inch -4 5 6 IDC.
