Model 10 acquisition under consideration

[Doc B]

That is a good price in todays market. You can't go wrong buying a model 10,everyone should have at least one.

I also have a 10-6 and 10-8 and had both parkerized because,I use them alot. So far,the parkerizing shows no wear from ccwing every day.

Here is a security co trade-in. It shows it's age and wear and tear but it was priced accordingly. Model 10-5 with standard barrel.

Great price, and a darn good .38 revolver... There are good reason the 10 is such an enduring classic.
While I don't have a 10 at the moment, I do have 2 of the WW2
"victory" models ( a 4" and a 5")
Which later became the model 10.
Not fancy, not high tech... But a person that gets familure with one,
Can protect themselves just fine.

Just saw a 10-5 this morning. Someone had refinished it

in a dull black, and it had rubbers on it...and it was priced at $399!

Forget about the numbers on the crane. What are numbers and letters on the butt?

If you own 1 S&W, and plan on getting more, you need to get a copy of the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson. It has been a valuable resource, for dating my guns and finding info on them.

My wife has become a revolver enthusiast (finally!!) and enjoyed shooting my S&W 64-1 and 67-6, however she found bot a little heavy. She likes the old 1954 era six inch pre-10 M&P better, but worries about shooting the older gun a lot. So-I suggested she purchase the first decent condition model 10, four inch we could find at a fair price.
She got this 10-5 (1977) with some honest holster/ handling wear, but very light firing wear for $329. We put a set of old round/square (fits neither correctly??) target stocks on it and took it to the range. WOW is all I can say. She shot quite well-keeping everything in the 7 to 10 rings at 25 feet (brilliant for her). I pumped 18 rounds into about 2 inches at the same distance. Can't do that with my 67-6! Wish I would have purchased some model 10's 15 years ago when they were $150 each.
