That's a beautiful pistol. The rear ramp of the gun near the hammer looks more streamlined/angled then other 10’s. Is that an illusion? Also, what grips are on it?

Thanks, it's a mid-'70s 10-5 with Sambar stag grips.

Prior to the frame change in the mid-to-late '90s, the frame curve along the hammer was indeed more arched and "swoopy"; after, it became a few degrees closer to diagonal and a bit more boxy.

Thank you. I appreciate the info. It is subtle but distinctive. Time to run upstairs ands check on a few babies.

My Model 10

Here's my snubbie. Wish I had kept my old 4" standard barrel.

Greetings- I have an opportunity to pick up a 1966 Model 10-5 with tapered 4" barrel. The pistol shows no wear signs on the barrel or front of the cylinder. There is a minor blemish in the blue on the right side. The only real marks on the pistol appear to be cylinder score. The asking price is $475. Any opinions? (I will try to attach the owners photo.)

In that condition? Jump on it! Well, on second thought, you might try to get him down to 425, but if he starts to get angry, pay what he's asking. As you probably know, most Model 10's that old show lots of wear or are rather beat up.

 

[m19862]

Greetings- That is exactly what I was thinking. The seller is a fellow officer, and it's his father's revolver. I just wanted to make sure the price was fair to all. Respectfully Submitted, 641

Take the deal. You can't buy that gun brand new for twice that amount. They don't 1966 models any longer. Would make a great shooter!

10-5 and 10-6 shooters. Both sent out within the same year or 2. 66-67.

I picked this pistol up this morning, for $450. Very pleased. The grips have matching serial numbers inside. No signs of wear on the revolver other than the cylinder turn marks. The lock-up feels like it just left the factory! Did I say, "very pleased?" My first model 10, I would definitely consider purchasing another.

Some beautiful work horses in this thread . Just picked up this one today by the S/N 2D199xx looks like it was shipped @1977. Sometimes I can't believe that work guns were kept in such pristine condition.


now i need to find some correct grips-factory. It is a 10-5 nickle

Do "pre 10s" count?
