S&W 10-7

[Sam2511]

I was at my local gun shop the other day and noticed a nice model 10-7. Anyone know the year of manufacture for the -7? Also, was that a good year of manufacture for the model 10? I noticed it has a pinned barrel and firing pin on the hammer nose, i like that, just a personal preference.

What is something like that going for these days? Nickel? Heavy barrel? I have one, but don't remember manufacture date.

Model 10-7 should be 1977 or later and have the standard (tapered) barrel. Specific dash numbers generally are produced for several years and may run currently with other dash numbers. This is why the SN is needed to give you a closer date. Value depends on finish and condition. It could vary from ca. $350 to twice that. To get any closer we need SN, and photos to judge condition from. uns made in that time frame were still typical S&W quality, so, yes, based only on time of production only it should be a good gun!

And, BTW, correct nomenclature. The "firing pin", in S&W nomenclature, is the hammer nose, not on the hammer nose!
