Didn't need this thing...bought it anyway. 10-5 snubbie
Well, after I said enough's enough with short barrel revolvers, I happened by this little beauty!
I believe it's a 1975 as its s/n is D764XXX.
Unfired, even looks unturned for the most part.
Here you go. Paid a bit more than the original $109 price tag...

How can you say you din't need it? Everybody needs a M&P snubbie or three.
You done good with that one, mighty good.

You bought it - you musta needed it. Good move.
Just like the 10-5 round butt I bought a month or two ago. Not as nice as yours. Just enough wear on it to let me shoot it and even carry it when I want with no regrets. I haven't got around to shooting a photo but then everyone knows what they look like, right?
Simply fine, fine revolvers - every Smith fan needs a 2" Model 10 and a 4" standard barrel Model 10 IMHO.

C Broad Arrow, don't walk away from that one for $225. Unless it has no finish left, it's worth that.

Beautiful weapon sir. No-Lock Snubbies in that condition would be a crime to walk away from. Who cares about needing it.
You obviously wanted it.

Yes, certainly around here (assuming it has some finish and works correctly). I recently paid $300 for a 10-5 in very good condition, good grips, and thought that was a great price.

I took your advice H Richard. And bought it today when the store opened.

That is sweet, I passed on one this week that was marked $409.00. Not quite as sweet as yours. Stocks a bit worn but did have black Tyler T grip on it.
If it looked like yours I would have bought it.
Good luck with it. Super nice one at a fair, or maybe better than fair price.

Now I'm confused. I thought the 10-5 was a 4 inch tapered barrel....(that's what my dad's S&W is).

Very nice find! 2" 10s don't show up often. I have it's brother, a 2" 10-5 with a round butt. They came both ways. I have the box, but didn't show it in the pic because the box was locked up in a closet and I didn't have the time to dig it out:

Here's my Model 10-5 2" SB that I "didn't need".
I pimped it out a little but with some Altamont rosewood stocks and a Tyler T-grip, but still have the original stocks.

They all start off as "no dash" and then as small engineering changes are made the "dash's" are added. Sample:
19-2 (1961): Cylinder stop changed, delete triggerguard screw.
(1963): Introduce 6" barrel.
(1963): 50 manufactured with 2.5" barrel, serial range K544672–K544721.
(1966): Introduce 2.5" barrel as standard.
19-3 (1967): Relocation of rear sight leaf screw.
(1968): Delete diamond-insert grip.
