Model 10s Are Fun! New Years Picture Thread

[winchester1]

Just foolin' around with my toys this morning while the wife is at work, I realized how much fun model 10s are. They are a hoot to shoot and are still almost affordable to collect.
Thought I'd share a quick picture of my 3 10-5s, 2", 4", and 6" and my 10-6 4"
How about a New Years Model 10 picture thread, lets see 'em guys.
Happy New Year to All!

Only one Model 10 in my safe. I haven't fired it yet. Normally I shoot what I buy ASAP, but this one was so nice that I have just let it be a safe queen. I know, I know, Model 10s are a dime a dozen. There's just something about this one.

Which means I probably need to buy a less pristine one to shoot.

Happy New Year!

I really like my M10s and M & Ps. I consider them my "relaxed" Smith & Wessons. They shoot well, to point of aim, and have little recoil. They are great plinkers superseded only by a .22 for relaxation.

I have a 2 inch M10 as well but its waiting for pictures.

I use to pick them up from here and there for $125. Now I don't even own 1!! I think I'd really like to find a nice 5". Guess I'll have to keep looking. Those are some fine looking pieces of blued steel by the way!

Here are a couple of mine.

I hope this one is OK. I think it's against federal law to discriminate because of age.

Here's my 'well worn' 10-6. Great to carry, great to shoot, and looks good too.

 

[deanodog]

Good looking model 10s. I love those pencil barrels

 

[km5wu]

Here are my two:

10-5

10-7

Thanks Chad! I sold the twin to yours about five years ago when I first registered on this forum. Just when I thought that my leg had healed from kicking myself over and over in the *** you had to go post that pic!

Sorry, no model 10 but I have a nice Model 64-3. Does that count?

Semperfi71 -

Those two M10s on top are spectacular! What condition! Where did you find such specimens? Or, have they been in the family for years? Thanks for posting a photo of great guns!

i gave my 2"model 10 to my son for his 21st birthday...sighhhhh...and he won't give it back!i bought that gun new in the mid 70's for $90.00...
i dont see being an indian giver as being a serious character flaw

Another 10-5. Finally got one a couple weeks ago and haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

 

[dewidmt]

You can still find em' if ya look real hard! I found this one lonely in a case at a gunshow two weeks ago. She came home with me for $250! Mod 10 no-dash 4 screw. I still kick myself for sellin off my 3 inch HB a few years ago.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Bacon, what sort of grips are those on your 10-5 snub?

 

[proco]

Nickel 5" 10-5

[Bullseye Smith]

The 10 is a great gun, and will alway be a great gun.

 

[bmcgilvray]

Have lots of Model 10s and M&Ps. The Heavy Barrel is a sentimental favorite but I like the looks of the tapered barrel better. I can't discern much difference in shooting qualities between the two in 4-inch guise.

10-5, 1967. Absolutely nothing unique about it, but I love shooting it.

I usually prefer target sights, but there's no arguing with this:

That's a good question but I haven't been able to identify the wood yet. I pulled them off and the unfinished wood is dark also. I am not a woodworker and can only guess. Maple?

ETA - I bought the revolver over the net from a dealer so I don't know who the previous owner was.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Ah, guess I should have been more clear. I was asking about the configuration and size a bit more. My bad but thanks for the answer as it sounds like you didn't make them anyways.

Currently considering a smaller set of grips than the standard Magnas for my 10-8. The Missus finds even them too big for her hands.

4" M&P in a Brill holster.

2" with a Heiser high ride holster.

4" in a Myres holster.

Thanks guys for all the replies, some beauties out there.
Seems I'm not the only one with a fondness towards the old model 10.
Keep 'em coming and Happy New Year!

Does the old one from 1926 count too?

Hello. Yes, they are loads of fun as well as being most useful revolvers for my applications.
I favor them highly.

Best.
