I was wondering what if any changes any of were planning for the grips on the Model 10 (s) you bought? Since I bought the 3" SB I am thinking of just putting a Tyler T grip on it since I am not a fan of the grips currently on it. Happy to hear any and all thoughts on grip options!

If your into Goodyear type grips that may be a option Chief.....
Me? Well, I don't mind Magna grips at all.

If the image on Bud's site is correct, it looks like this group may be outfitted with some strange wood non- S&W grips, sans any escutcheon/medallion.
Which means I need a pair of K RB magna's. All I have are some worn old SB's.

The 3" I bought from the last batch (great gun BTW and in good shape cosmetically for the $$) came with some faux magna style grips. The picture they had for the 3" this time showed S&W magnas but I think you get what you get.
The 3" I got in the last batch now wears Eagle Secret Service grips, a great set of grips for a shorter barrel SB K-frame. Depending on condition, this new 3" will either get a round butt bench grinder conversion and refinish, or if it's nice, a Tyler t-grip and proper S&W wood. I also ordered two of the 4" RB's. The lesser wil get a set of Hogue rubber and will be a new range gun, the other is TBD.

I also ordered a 3"er. This will be my second service revolver, first being a model 64-3 4"HB with Pittsburgh Police on the backstrap. These offers have to be, hands down, the BEST online offer EVER for revolvers. Why would anyone buy a new Rossi/Taurus/Charter Arms 38spl for same price or more when you could have a S&W? These guns, from my experience, are carried alot and shot very little..have tight lockup and other than a nick here and there and some minor bluing loss are functionally new. I'm a lucky man.

Making an educated guess from the pictures, I would guess a 10-6 or 10-8.

According to S&W; +P is acceptable in a steel K frame with a stamped model number.

I really wanted one of the 3" square butt Model 10's, but I decided to wait until later last night and they had sold... I did check back this afternoon and found the 64's and jumped right on one. From the picture they look very nice and it seems like a lot of value and very worth adding a Model 64 into the collection.
I bought a 64 4" last year from buds i think they were $289.00 then great shoot-in gun, these bud guns are a great deal
I believe a new rule should be put forth in this forum that when ever Bud's has LE S&W revolver trade in's that no one should be allowed to post that information on this site! I ordered a 3" yesterday, almost ordered th RB 4" because it is cool. I stopped off at my LGS today and fondled a lovely Model 10 "5 that was selling for $499.99 that I had to tearfully put down (I guess it makes no difference that I already have a 5" 10-5). Now to top it off I see on this thread about the Model 64's!!!
This is inhumane, a S&W revolver fan such as myself can only take so much!!! Please stop, I beg all of you have mercy!!
Have a nice day

I got an idea. Buds should just post on this site next time and give true Smith fans first crack at these superb values. I would think sellout times would come close to their current advertising scheme.

I had to get in on this too, have a 4" SB on its way. Totally missed the 64s, which is probably a good thing, I have bought waaaay to much lately.
