The Ultimate Model 10 Thread!

[waffles]

Don't think I posted this, a Victoria Police trade in Model 10-11. Little newer than most, but hey still a model 10.

A model 10's first life might be good but its second Life is Great

My Humble Contribution

Found this one today at the gun show. I just had to rescue it. Probably will pass it on to another collector, but I had to save it from becoming a truck or sock drawer gun.

Can anyone tell me the approximate shipping date of this Model 10?
Serial number S 852280.

1964-65 10-5 2".

I'd quit looking for a nice K snub.
Then this one fell into my lap.
It appeared to be virgin when I bought it.
It's not virgin, anymore.
Ran about 50 rounds through it.
I like it.
I still can't believe it's mine.
I don't usually find any this nice.
Not that I can afford, anyway

Looks much better in person.
Pics were taken with an iPhone 4S with a dirty lens.

I also have an UGLY 10-6.
Don't have pics of it, yet.

The "S" series K frames where manufactured between 1945 to 1948 and are considered Post War M&P's.

That serial number is most likely 1946.

I own 2, S857xxx and S869xxx, a tad later than yours, but not much. There's a lot of information about them here on the forum if you search for it.

There's a member here, JP@AK, who is compiling a data base on the "S" series K frames, to track the changes between WWII and 1950 where the design became what is referred to as the "Pre Model 10".

Love to see some pictures.

This is my sole Model 10-7. Made for Peruvian Federal Police, but sold to the public here through various distributors.

Thanks for the reply, I got a PM from Jack and answered it not too long ago. I also have a 32.20 hand ejector third change I should put on their thread as soon as I figure out how to post pictures. It shouldn't take me too long to get it done. I only have one other, a 10-7 I got from a hawk shop a while back. They all shoot great.

I guess I'm not as dumb as they give me credit for. I think I figured out how to post pictures all by myself. This is the premodel 10 shipped Nov 1946 according to Jack.

My contribution is modest- my 10-5 I acquired in February.

Model 10 Thread

This is the only Model 10 (10-6) currently in my collection and is my newest acquisition. I believe it is circa 1973 and came with the box, owners manual, and cleaning rod/brush, plus a S&W ammo brochure. I shot it today for the first time, having just taken delivery of the Tyler T-Grip Adapter a couple of days ago. My 10-6 shoots as good as it looks.

Man I wish Smith & Wesson would make this again but for us?

 

[wvs&w]

I see this thread is still alive, there are some great pictures. I carried a nickel 10 HB back in the late 70's on the sheriffs dept. I haven't had one in years and found a nice 10-10 HB RB yesterday. I'll try and post some pictures. Thanks for sharing your treasures,

That is one totally unique Model 10 variation! Never laid eyes on one of these before. Love to have it.

Any further details, or model history?

Those 10-10s were a special run for Brazil...supposedly 50 were sold in the States.

It seems that no one knows for sure how many were part of the overrun, and I don't know if any were ever imported back into the country.

 

[Boogsawaste]

Ok I'll play. Just a regular old 10-5. 66-67 era.
