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 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.
