My replacement Model 10-5

[Ματθιας]

I picked this up online late last year to replace a reblued heavy barrel 10-6.

It has stamps, probably rack numbers - two of them one on the left side on the frame above the trigger guard and below the cylinder. The other number is stamped on the frame directly in front of the trigger guard. On the left side of the barrel it's marked " WSS Quincy Ill."

The sn is D587XX

When I got it it was dirty, nasty, filthy and the grips were worn round. I had pair of grips and a Tyler-T and stuck those on. I still have the originals.

Seems to be a LOT of history with this one!

That is a beauty. I like the chip out of the left grip heel.

Are you going to shoot that safe queen?

Congrats on your newest!

Looks a hell of a lot better than the 10-5 I bought last week at a show. However I've cleaned it up considerably and shot it a lot. It looks much better now and of all my smiths this one has the best trigger. Lots to be said for ordinary Common guns

Looks like honest wear on that one. Do you suppose it was imported back
to the US by Williams Shooters Supply of Quincy?

Congratulations on the purchase as the Model 10 is a wonderful Revolver.

Beautiful Model 10!
My favorite revolver in my favorite configuration.

Thanks everyone!

I had no idea that it was import marked - I'd never heard of WSS. I googled "WSS Quincy Ill." when I first got it and nothing came back...I wonder where it's been.

I'll get some picts up with the original grips.

Here's some picts of how it actually arrived at my FFL:

Egad's man, I like it! I like the M-10 and I like ex LEO revolvers. If the old saw "if this gun could talk" was true I think that one could tell a few good story's.

I have one of those from "Williams Shooter Supply, Quincey Ill.", actually 2, I have a 10-5 that looks like yours and a 10-6 in better shape.

My LGS ordered 3 10-5's & I was in there the day they arrived and got to pick the best of the three, the worst is still there. I keep threatening to buy it, if he'll give me better than the usual deal.

The 10-6 came from a different LGS.
