new model 10

[sw44spl]

yesterday I picked up a nice mode 10-8 from a fellow deputy. it has some blue wear on the muzzle and cylinder. the ssn is AHY prefix it had pacs on it but I put the correct grips on it. I got it for $325. oh its a Winston salem state univ campus police gun

Nice snag! You are going to like the way those heavy barrels shoot, enjoy that one.

Looks like a regular cop gun to me! Vulcan Bob is correct. Those heavy bbls just hang out there and let you place your shots accurately while on the range. On the street, they allow you to do double taps because the muzzle stays on target.

Stay safe, partner.

That's what I carried during my police career. I wish I had it back. But since they were issued to us they were not ours and I had to turn mine in when I left. You will love it. It was a great shooter.

I have an old security guard turn-in heavy barrel 64-5. What a great shooting gun.

 

[Shorty 45 MK2]

Congrats on your newest!

this makes 3 of them I have from this one dept. and I have another one from a different dept and 5 standard barrel model 10s. and yes they do shoot very well I really like a model 10.

 

[Kframerbluvr]

Yep. Carried M64s on duty for several years before being issued combat Tupperware. Fixed sight K-frames are my favorite S&W sixguns.

... mode 10-8... ssn is AHY prefix ...

1985.

Product code for a -8 4-inch Heavy Barrel would of been 100125.

thank you, I take it you are a Hogans Heros fan. I have a model 64 collection also

Those guns will make a shooter out of most anyone.

Very nice, my RB 4" 10-8 is one of my favorites.

If you can't get it done with a 4" 10 or 64, I hope you're running to get a rifle......

My Model 10-8 is amazingly accurate. My Wife likes to shoot that Model 10 over anything else, and she can put all 6 Rounds into a 2" Circle @ 10yds. It loves 158 LSWC, and 3.5 gns of Bullseye.

Nice pick up, my heavy barrel .38's are a couple of my favorite shooting revolvers!



M10-11 Aussie Police Round butt and 3" M64-3

 

[Road Rat]

Yep, gotta luv the S&W Model 10's. I think I have one stashed in every room of the house!!

 

[Jdavis]

Model 10s are a special gun that there is much to like about. I prefer the heavy barrel 10s because of the balance as well as their accuracy.
BTW, having lived in N.C. for many years, I am familiar with Winston Salem State.

Lucky you! I've just shot my 10-10 Victoria PD recently, and now I can see I don't have NEARLY enough 38spcl loaded up. I went through 100 rnds before I took a breath, and loved every one of them. I'm embarrassed to say........I think it's more fun to shoot than my 686+. Oh, my, I've said it.

M10HB was my first favorite and still a top favorite

 

[GrayGhost99]

I feel bad because I only own 2 right now, a 10-8 3" and a pre 10 with a 5"
Both still have factory stocks and Tyler grip adapters. Every range trip at least one if not both send a few hundred rounds down range. I've only owned the 5" gun for 2 years and already have put 10 thousand rounds through it.
Now if I could just get my wife to give me her 10-9 3", that tapered 3 inch barrel is just so better balanced.

Hello neighbor! Wished I had grabbed one of those..enjoy!
