I just purchase a S&W Model 101, Nickel plated, 4" barrel, Wood grips, and adjustable rear sight. Can anyone give me any info on this gun? It looks like a Model 10. Thanks

Welcome to the forum. There is no model 101, pictures would help to determine which model it is. The Model 10 is a fixed sight gun.

Welcome to the Forum. There was a recent thread about model 10-1s missing the dash in the stamping, but as hsguy noted this has fixed sights. If you have a heavy barreled gun with adjustable sights it may be a mis-stamped model 19-1. Photos would be helpful to sort this out.

Model 15. Combat Masterpiece.
Or is it a Model 10 that has had the sight put on and a model 15 barrel installed????
Does it have a little piece of metal behind the trigger inside the triggerguard loop? This is a trigger stop that would be found on an actual model 15.

I would have said it looks to be a nickel Model 15 as well, but from the photos I don't believe it has a trigger stop, or even a slot in the frame for it.
Odd.

Without the trigger stop, I imagine that is what someone has done. Made a Combat Masterpiece out of a Model 10.

Amazing. Of course it's a rhetorical question, but why would someone do that?

Looks to me like it was a model 10 that had some custom work done to it. The rear adjustable sight extends too far toward the barrel and the fromt sight looks like the original model 10 ramp was removed and a higher one replaced to make up for the higher rear sight. You can see the pin in barrel just under the front sight.

I can see it better now. Yes, heavy barrel Model 10 with new sights. ;-)

Can you post a photo of the top of the gun that shows the barrel/frame/rear sight leaf area? A model 10 and 15 look different in this area.
