Default 10-7 3”

I picked up a Model 10-7 with a 3” tapered barrel and a square butt. It has an import stamp from PW ARMS in Redmond, WA. Does anybody know where these may have been imported from?

A substantial number of these were Australian police surplus imports from about 5 years ago. Does yours have a QR or similar code stamped on it?

Nope. Nothing other the PW ARMS import mark.

My 10-7 was one of the Aussie imports (I forget which company I bought it from, J&G or one of those that deals with police trade-ins/imports). It still has the QR code sticker on it, but I looked and there is no import mark on it like the OP has. Probably should be one on there.

A batch of 10-5 and 10-7 three inch guns showed up a few months ago. PSA was selling them. A number of us bought them. It’s unlikely this latest batch is Australian as they switched some years ago. So far no one has lettered theirs.

I would love to see a picture of a 3" tapered barrel model 10 if someone can indulge me. I've seen the 3" heavy barrel model and I think they are the cats meow with a round butt configuration. Tia

Yes, mine is one of the PSA guns. I would love to know where it came back from.The PW ARMS mark is on the back strap. Thanks, everyone.

I keep missing them, and want one badly. I hope one shows up in the classifieds sometime.
