Found a dirty, slightly rusty Pre 10 snubbie.
I used some "Maas" Metal polishing compound and a lot of elbow greese.

Doesn't look bad for what you paid.
May be an x cop gun. I have noted that sometimes the dept armorer would mix up stocks between guns explaining examples with different numbered wood but not way off. They were in the same shipment.

I knew you would get it looking better in no time. Glad I can help you, you've only helped me about a gazillion times.
Good catch! That's a nice looking little snubby - at a great price. It's been ages since I remember seeing a decent S&W for under $300. Let us know how it shoots, and thanks for the post.

I like it. Iam a sucker for pre model 10 snubbys. I saw one at a gun show a while back that Iam almost sure had been renickeled and they wanted $500.00 for it. I think you got an excellent deal.

A buddy of mine has a Detroit PD marked one just like it that I have been trying to talk him out to no avail.
Nice one Mike

That's a nice catch, Mike. Those shiny snubbies kinda grow on you.

It's like buying a new car and you go on the first drive and see a bunch like it. I went to the Live Oak show north of San Antonio and was skunked. Not a really nice S&W that i could use in my collection. On the way home I stopped a small pawn shop in Austin and picked up a pristine nickle round butt snubby pre-10 in the C75xxx range. I come on this forum and see another one. Thats a real nice square butt.

I'm still looking for that exact same gun. I have a nice set of S&W MOP stocks waiting for one when I find it. The gun they are currently on will be sold the second I find one like yours
Here's mine with the pearls. They just don't look right on a S&W made in the 80s:

Cool Mike! Half of your price is in the grips.
(..."my agressive bartering ability, and Yankee voice..." ='s your big and loud!)
Good score ol'bud.

LOL, Lori and I were on our way back from the OGCA and Lori reminded of the time you went out for coffee for your parents and came back an hour latter with a S&W but no coffee!
Nice M&P.
Nice M&P.
Wow. I never see prices like that, especially for guns that old. I'd have jumped on it at the asking price. nice score!

Man I'm jealous! That's not much over what I paid for my very cosmetically challenged snubbie. You got way more gun for the money.

I wish I could have been there. Had too much stuff going on around the house to get away. Hated missing the show, planning to have a few $$ when the next one rolls around though.

Nice score Mike, and I really like the square butt snubs.
