My 10-5 was the first hand gun my wife ever shot and she was bang out bulls eyes at 20 yard on the second cylinder load. I she gets mad at me the first thing I do is hide that gun!!! W.V.

Model 10 4" tapered barrel!!!

If you want a good shotgun it's hard to beat a Mossberg 500 or 590. JMHO

I have to be real careful around the Harley davidson shop too

IMHO the model 10 is the best Smith& Wesson revolver ever built. Love Mine!! W.V.Martin

grips Thanks a bunch guys. this helps a lot. I wanted to put the old girl back as close to original as possible. It's probably in about 90% to 95% condition and I plan on keeping it. It has the 4in. barrel and is the sweetest shooting revolver I've ever owned and in the last 50yrs I've owned a...

grips Thanks for the reply. The main reason I'm wondering about the grips is I see a lot of pics of 10-5s like mine that have wood grips and was wondering if thats what came on it. Thanks W.V.Martin

grips on model 10 I have a model 10-5, ser#D313XXX. Just wondering what grps came on the gun. I bought it at a pawn shop a few years ago and its got a pair of Uncle Mikes rubber grips on it. The gun is in really good shape and I don't plan on parting wiyh it. Just curious. Also if anyone has...

I got caught without any gun oil once after getting rained on and shotgun got wet so I used what was handy. Harley Davidson Screaming Eagle 20W50 synthetec. Worked pretty good so I put some in a little squirt bottle and keep it handy...

Mr. Magnum, How do you like that 327 Magnum? How much trouble is it to find ammo for it? A friend of mine just bought one and I hope to get a chance to shoot it soon. looks like a nice little carry gun if it hits hard enough. Thanks W. V. Martin

Thanks for the link. It looks to be very infomative. W.V.Martin

Reloading Hi all. I'm new to the forum and I don't want to sound too dumb but I've been shooting for close to 50 years and I never got into reloading. I guess the question I'm trying to ask, is there a book I could buy to learn how to reload and what equipment I need to buy? I've only lately...

Crew carry weapon When I first got to the Innkeepers I was issued a Colt 45, then after a few months they took those away from us and issued us these little Colt 38 snubby that was a tiny thing that was very light as well as worn to the point that you couldn't hit the floor with it. I got a...

Hey CH47 gunner. Just noticed your name and the 1st AVN BDE patch. I served with the 271st ASHC at Cantho army airfield 70-71. Welcome Brother.

Thanks for the welcome Mr. Crabtree. I already have to make a correction to my post. I said I had a 10-6 but it's a 10-5. I need a brighter light on my desk here so I'll quit hitting wrong keys! Anyway the gun is a great shooter and has the best trigger of any I've ever owned! I never go to the...
