Thank you for the ID, Sir. I should also add this is a no lock revolver....

The revolver was purchased at an estate sale and came bare - no box. It was so gummed up with some kind of lube the cylinder would not rotate. Cleaned up it shows very little sign of being fired with Very minor wear. I've yet to fire this particular pistol.

Do any of the Model 10s come with non pinned front sights? Seems to be some varying opinions among my friends... If some are not pinned can you tell me when the non pinned guns started? Thanks. :)

Nice... Not to be antagonistic but this sums up my feelings as well. ;)

Thanks. I appreciate your input.

I am currently trying to find a nice 25-2 to use as a competition gun in ICORE and USPSA revolver class. I have run across a Pre 25 that looks pretty good to me but I am a total newbie to revolvers. Are there any downsides to the Pre 25? What ever gun I end up with will see a lot of usage and...
