Did S&W ever make....

Any 3" HB RB Nickeled M10's?
I know they made them in blue - for the Australian police IIRC - I've even seen pictures on the forum here.
But did they ever make any that were nickel plated?
Basically a carbon steel 3" M64.
Saw one post on another board where a guy said that they did, but he had no pictures and said he'd never actually seen one....

3-inch, unlikely. But there might of been some 4-inch nickel M10's made post 2000. I just don't know of any. Maybe part of a Heritage or Classic Series. I have seen some newer M10's where the entire frame was case hardened.

That is pretty much what I thought, but I'm sorta in a debate with a guy on a local site who is convinced they made some...

Yes they did make mod. 10 3 inch HB nickle revolvers. I have seen 2 and was luckey enough to buy both and dumb enough to let them get away for something I thought I wanted more. Both were 10-8 variations. If I am ever fortunate enough to find a third I won't make the same mistake again.

Pretty sure I'v seen one or two in the past, but also here's this new thread:

Yes, I have one. It is a 10-8.

Yes, I had a 10-8 NIB but sold it a few years ago.

In the "good ol' days" they'd make what ever you wanted.

So was this a production model in nickel - or a special order? Anybody know?

 

[ColbyBruce]

I believe these were regular production. I have seen a few others, a insurance man on my mail route has one and a retired LEO I am acquainted with carries one.

They made some that way. I bought one at a local pawn shop. I can post which dash it is but the serial # is AAP 7XXX.

Hope this is helpful
