Oh those C and D S&W Model 10’s

[KenTheHunter]

Yes, I am absolutely smitten with both square and round butt model 10’s with 2” barrels. To me, this model just looks like it means business ! No frill, bare bones accoutrements just ooze solid get the job done performance. Not on board with mim parts, frame mounted firing pins, sleeved barrels and trigger locks-yuck ! I’m not suggesting there’s anything mechanically wrong, but the aesthetics turn me off.

I'm not up on 2" bbls. I have one and a 2.5. I would prefer the case can be pushed out full length.

This thread needs a picture. C prefix with smooth magnas added.

A 10-2 and A 12-2.

I’m quite fond of this D prefix M10. I just shot it this morning and had fo problem hitting clay birds at 25 yards.
A great proven design that still works.

I just got my first 2” K frame a few weeks ago. A 64-2 in 2” with factory Magna round butt stocks. Square butts look weird to me in a 2”. The gun almost looks like a 66 snubby. I shot it unbelievably well last week. Shots all dead center in almost one hole at about 10 yards.

Just bought my first Model 10 yesterday.
Not perfect but not bad either. I’m happy.
It’s a 10-8 with a pinned barrel & 4D845xx SN. I have some research to do. I don’t reckon that is considered a D prefix though, right, since it does not start out with a D?

I found this C907xxx 2” round butt at this year’s Symposium, the square butt came from the Garbrecht collection.
I agree, I like the M&P model 10 in any configuration.

I have a 2 inch Model 10 with a round butt. It’s great, but I really wish it had a square butt. They just feel so much better to me.

I know they make round butt to square butt grips.

The M10 2 inch was a great pocket carry BUG for cops. Your primary carry was likely a K Frame too.

rhe NYPD always authorized the Model 36 for off duty, and some Colt’s. When they went to stainless guns the Model 60 DAO was chosen, but it soon experienced light strikes, and for only the first of two times that I am aware of, the nypd forced cops to stop carrying it. That was a big deal since cops bought their own weapons.

The union had to negotiate with Smith to take the now useless model 60 as a trade for the 6 shot model 64 2” in DAO. I saw very few guys carrying the 64 2”. Some liked the extra shot and sharing speedloaders with their duty weapon.

When the 640 arrived, that was the pretty dominant off duty choice. The Ruger SPNY was also authorized, but most got the 640.
