That is a terrible thing to do to a 10xx series pistol. It just doesn't make any sense.

With that many ports of such a large size, they've effectively made that into the equivilent of about a 1" barreled pistol.
So much for the potential power of the 10mm.

As a diehard 10MM fan and 1006 owner , that puppy is thoroughly and truly screwed up . 10MM in the 10XX series of pistols does NOT need to ported WTH ...

As a 1006 owner I have no words to describe the feeling that hit me when I saw the picture. The HORROR!!!

What a shame. A work of art thrown out the window.
I can't wait to get my S&W 10mm!!
I am leaning towards a 1066, 1076 or 1006.

Having a 1006 and seeing that makes me sick.
I rarely make any changes that cannot be fully reversed.
The truly sad thing is that someone did that to a relatively low production gun. It's not like the 1006 was made for 20, 30 or even 50 years like some other frames.
I guess each to his own but mine will stay the way S&W made her.

I used to own a 1006, along with a Colt Delta Elite. I loved both of them, but due to arthritis problems, hands and wrists, sold all of my high caliber handguns (10mm, .41Mag, .44Mag, .45ACP, etc.). Loved 'em all and cried to sell them.
But, this poor, mutilated, tortured, disfigured weapon is unbelievable. Why??????????? As has been obviously stated, what you effectively have here now might have a hard time keeping up with my wife's .38 snubbie with Nyclads in it.
Oh man. Some people's kids. There's just no accounting for bad taste or stupidity.
If you can buy it for a real, real reasonable price, do so. It's definitely got a lot of conversational value. And who knows, it might handle OK! And as a curiosity, it's definitely curious!

Numrich has the barrels (currently out) for $134. Except for the ugly factor, that would return the gun to a "shootable" condition. Joe

The hybrid comp was all the rage about 15-20 years ago, unfortunately on this particular pistol it is rather pricey to go back to stock once you mill the slide for that barrel. I think the price of a new slide and barrel at retail is getting close to a complete 1006 these days.

That is a terrible thing to do to a perfectly good S&W. Apparently, the moron who did it thought so also, as he traded it. I bet he really got taken at trade in!
I also have a 1006. What I cannot believe is that a gunsmith would even do this. Would you take your gun to him?

I would be surprised if the bullet was able to 30 yards before hitting the ground. Bet if the barrel had another inch the bullet would be stuck.
As for the gun smith I would not use him, or recommend him to anyone. The GS that did this has no scruples in my opinion regardless of money charged for the service.
SgtSam I also had to drop all my big auto's 1006 & 1086, Officers 45 ACP, but kept the Para 14-45 PXT Gun Rights and my G-29 because for some reason they don't hurt my hands to shoot as lomg as the round count is kept 50 or less. Also My Dan Wesson's which are S&W N frame size don't bother my hands and neither does my N frame 610's again as long as round count is kept under 50 or so. The exception is the 744 SS DW 44 Remington Magnum is so heavy as to have the recoil of a 38 Special in a 686 6" barrel gun.
