Show off your M & P revolvers (pre-10's)

[grif684]

My only pre 10 (for now)...

 

[losrobles]

Pics not so great but here's mine. Inherited from dad. History/provenance not known. All I remember is that he had a similar gun in 38 S&W. He traded that gun for this 38 Special model. Sometime in the 60's if I'm recalling correctly. To my eyes it appears original although I doubt it came with those grips.
The double action is about as smooth an action that I've ever experienced on a revolver.

1905 Target W/5" barrel

This is my only contribution. I have posted this gun before. According to Mr. Jinks, this one left the factory July 1906. It is an early 4 screw, square butt frame, target with a 5" barrel. I am told this is a relatively rare piece. While not a 95%+ condition gun, it is in very good shape for 109 years old and obviously being used. It still shoots very well using 148 gr wadcutters and 2.5 gr of bullseye.
The gun was wearing an incorrect set of convex grips when I bought it. It took 8 months of searching to come up with the nicely refinished set of period correct concave grips.

Here's my 1955 Military & Police -

 

[thomasinaz]

Here are my only 2 M&Ps.

A 1917 shipped M&P Target with Kings rear sight blade and gold bead front. And a standard type 1950s 4" M&P. They were acquired this past year, so this seemed like a good place to post some pics.

 

[RecoilSensitive]

C series 4" 5 Screw. Serial dates it to 1949 or so. C1804XX gun has somewhat of a cool history because it was used as a competition gun for the police shooting team. Obviously has a new front sight and also the rear sight has a v notch

Shoots great but has some were from being in and out of the holster a lot.

They don't get much more "pre-10" than an 1899 Hand Ejector 38 Special.

I don't think that the S&W .38 Special was around in 1899. It was S&W .38 back then.

Hey Doc, actually the 1899 model was S&W's introduction of the 38 Special round. This 1899 38 S&W Special shipped around 1901.

Pre 10's (plural)

Here is what I've collected over the past year. Spans 1914 thru 1947. Some aren't too pretty but honest wear is OK with me. A couple are wearing incorrect grips but that will be addressed in the near future.
