Me and a buddy wanted to do everything possible to a set of Model 10's. Took a year, but got a teaser pic today! Should have guns in just a couple days. More pics to come everyone!

Mine is a CDC gun. Fun to resurrect an old officers gun!

Those screw heads and cylinder release look "blue-blue".
 
Gorgeous. That fire blue looks good on a Smith!!

First off- these look spectacular- congrats

Secondly, walk us through what you had them do, as I have a M10 I've toyed with the idea of customizing with a bull barrel, refined front sight, bobbed hammer, possibly hard satin chrome finish, etc.
 
Oh my, those are the best M10's I can remember seeing.
The fire blued screws and cylinder release, the flats on the barrels, gold bead front sights, the grips. Wow!
I can't wait for the rest of the story and a range report. 👍
 
Nice workmanship is evident. Not just the polishing and bluing but attention to detail. The smooth elk are a favorite of mine, have them on more than a few revolvers. Have you considered a grip adapter paired up with the elks? I prefer that combination to anything else.

BEAUTIFUL pair of Model 10s. Whenever I see examples of "customized" samples of the ubiquitous Model 10, I believe the forum could support a Smith and Wesson Revolver sub-topic devoted to just " Customized S&W Model 10 and M&P revolvers". Just a thought.:D

Very Nice............

Grasshorn makes great stag grips ; and grips are a very personal thing.

I've got more than a few sets of Grasshorn's work usually with BK grip adaptors....... but for carry guns I've got to recommend a set of Spegel checkered Boot Grips.

That said well done!!
 
Those are gorgeous!! Can you give us a ballpark on what something like that would cost?
