Model 10-5 2" where did they go?

[ischia]

Started looking around for "truck gun" Something not too pristine,just to keep handy when camping or sleeping at a rest stop on I-5. Can't seem to find any locally or at shows. Loads of 4" but no 2" Price check and thoughts on why they seem to have vanished as to for sale?

thanks,
Ischia

Well, they don' make 'em no mo', and since more and more states finally adopted carry permit attitudes the limited supply is being used and hung onto.

Got one in square butt and one in round butt and no plans for them to go anywhere soon . . . .

Are you only interested in a 10-5? If the whole spectrum of 10s and M&Ps will do there is no shortage. If you limit your search to that specific model then it may be tough.

I happen to have a 2" 10-5 but it's not for sale.

I also picked up these M&Ps about a month apart 3years ago for $210 & $200 respectively.

Maybe 2 years ago I bought this 2" M64 for $245.

Are you only looking for -5? If so, why?

Give Mark a call at Summit Gunbroker. I have purchased a couple nice model 10 snubbies from there. I was so pleased with the first one, I called back and ordered another one.

my question is: Why DON'T they make them anymore? They are 6 shots instead of 5. There is a huge market for CHLers these days, not to mention backupguns for police

The 2" guns have gotten harder to find. Compared to the 4" Model 10, which is probably the most common Smith ever, they are scarce. They are out there though. Just keep scratching around.

I found this one at a pawn shop. It was $389 but I wanted it real bad.

This one came from the same pawn shop about a year earlier. It isn't as nice but was cheaper. I carry it a good bit.

Just got a 10-5 2" purchased from a forum member today. Ser.#C900xxx from about 1966-67, I believe. His camera did not do the gun justice.

Sorry, just thought I'd point the original poster towards one. It wasn't my auction, just something I searched on gunbroker.

I thought them pretty common too and just traded one off. Maybe I messed up.?

Try reds trading post in Twin Falls, ID. They list beater ?police trade-ins? on GB. I also saw 3 this past weekend in Coeur d'Alene; one at Cabelas, and 2 at a gun shop. I have a fairly pristine 10-5 I bought late last year for $400 (maybe a little high). I'm now looking for a 2" M12 with a round butt - a little harder to find!

My 10-5 serial C999586,very close to the last of the C series,I put a nice set of old stags on her. I'll get pics up when my wife has time to help.
