A couple photos and observations of my new Model 10-15 Classic No-Lock (and I'll be adding pics and initial thoughts of my 686MG next week as well):
The bluing is very nice looking, and the walnut grain is growing on me. I like the feel of the small, non-target style square butt grips. The double-action is quite heavy, although I don't have a gauge, and it doesn't feel like there is any stacking. Single action is crisp. The bottom of the forcing cone is flat, so although the cylinder is long enough to be bored out to 357 (I measured it with some 357 Gold Dots in 125 grain and there is plenty of room), I would not want to shoot much magnum ammo through it. The yoke to frame fit is insanely tight, both looking at it from the muzzle-end as well as the side, and the walnut stocks hug the frame as if they were growing out of it (no gap whatsoever, unlike some I've seen photos of). All in all, provided this thing shoots half as good as it looks, I will be very pleased, indeed.

Give us Model 10 fans a range report after first trip.
