Fyimo, thanks!
It's the only 6" M&P I have. The s/n puts it fairly late in the S series... S 999,839. If I'm not mistaken the S series were shared by a few different models.
Oh, boy! Another excuse to look at M&Ps and M10s...
A 5" late 20's-era M&P with Pachmayr adapter
Now this is what I consider to be the epitome of the 38 Special Smith & Wesson revolver. This picture is to me the classically beautiful revolver. Thank you for posting it. And thank you to all of you for posting the photos that you have, for it gives me something to learn from when it comes to the many versions of this classic.
I do appreciate all of the good suggestions here. One thing I have quickly found out about this site is that all of you make me reevaluate so many of the guns I cast my eye over at the many gun shows I attend. With these photos now in mind, I will have a much better idea of what to look for. I sincerely doubt I will find as beautiful a revolver as the one pictured here, but I do hope to find one similar to some of the other very nice ones posted here.
I'm not much of a believer in safe queen-type guns. If I was so fortunate to stumble upon a unfired, new in the box model of a particular desirable pistol, I would probably purchase it for the investment value, but generally I shoot everything I own.
That said, if any of you would like to sell one of these beautiful examples of the Model 10, I have cash...!

LOVE those 5" revolvers... Two examples of the sexiest, best-balanced .38s ever made.

My favorite, is my little round butt snubby. A pre-model 10, 4 screw.

You might not just buy one you know. I felt I needed one and bought a non-pinned snub, then found a 5 screw snub and bought that. I found a heavy barrel and then needed a thin one as well.
Fortunately I busy again with othe models.
