In the past, I had owned two Smith & Wesson revolvers.
I had a 1967 Model 10-6 and a 1964 Model 27-2. I had traded the Model 10 and some cash for the 27-2 and (in a moment of complete stupidity) traded the 27 for a Colt Combat Commander.
I had told myself I would not rest until I got myself another S&W. I'm on a limited budget and a (mostly) fixed income, so just going out and buying one was out of the question.
I had done some horse trading and wound up with a like new Ruger LCR that, while a perfectly fine revolver, just wasn't a Smith & Wesson.
I found myself at a local gun show and took the LCR......and found a Model 10-6 on one of the tables. I asked the guy if he wanted an LCR (box, accessories, etc...) he said he would....and I came home with a Smith & Wesson. I don't believe this one is going anywhere. I certainly learned my lesson from before and I am holding on to this one!
She's a 1969 10-6 (according to the very friendly Allison at S&W customer service).
I have taken off the grips to see if she had been back to the factory for service and cannot see any indication that she has.
She features a Bo-Mar cover rib that comes off nicely with some hex screws. Factory sight is underneath.
The only thing I don't care for is the Hogue Monogrip. A guy from one of the local gun forums is sending me some wood service stocks for her. I can't wait to get her back to the original 1969 look.
