2" Pre-Model 10 - excellent condition.

Second from top is my '49 M&P from this past Sunday at the range with some of its snub brethren.
Trigger pull is glorious but the sights and stocks are not the best for range shooting for me. Sights are tiny and the pre war style stocks are great to look at but the Magnas are more comfortable for me to shoot. About twelve rounds is my limit before I start to feel it in my hands.
It is still a cool old Smith and I do not foresee getting rid of it.

Here's my Dad's 1951 vintage pre-model 10. Purchased new with probably less than a box of ammunition through it. It has the original box as well. I plan on shooting some low-powered handloads with it. It's been in storage since he passed in 1970.

I had no idea what these things would go for, but your post gives me an idea, just for informational purposes.

You guys and your pics aren't helping my "old M&P snubbie" itch.

Here's my April 1949 M&P snub....still looking for a square butt version of about the same vintage....

Nice pre 10.
I picked this one up a few weeks ago.
Took sometime and went over it pretty close just today.
I am 90% sure it has not been fired since it left the factory.
Faint turn line...no imprint on the recoil shield.
That is lint in the photo.

All number's match including the stocks.
I'm guessing 1949 because of the grips.
Serial number C1376xx

How does this compare to your April '49 gun?
Thanks!
