Thread got me to look at my "Fearless Fife"...

Metal photo picture near my bench in the garage. Appears to be holding a 4-inch Model 10 in the picture. A must have for we Barney Fife fans!
 
Cannot Resist These 10s

Picked this one up yesterday. Interesting that it has a target hammer and smooth .400 trigger as well as a nicely done red insert in the front sight.
Have to wonder what game this one was set up for.
Has a few flaws, but I still think its pretty neat.
I added some nicer stocks and a grip adapter from my cache:

Here's another "Pre" Model 10, a Military and Police .38 shipped April 1949. Extremely smooth action, and still locks up like new. Probably carried much and shot little, typical investigators undercover gun:



This is a classic thread. The M&P, later the Model 10 was Smith and Wessons "Bread and butter gun" for about a hundred years!!

Keep them coming...

Best Regards, Les

Wow how I love this gun!
 
My Model 10s

Model 10 2" 10-5 below left and model 10 4" 10-6 below right.
The 2" was issue for Boise PD plain cloths officers and Federal
NARC officers in the 1970s. The 4", with bull barrel, was issued
to Boise and many other PDs in the 1970s. Jim Cirillo, of the
famous NYPD Stakeout Squad used one like it very effectively.

2nd from left the 2" in a Lawrence 34V pigskin Special Agent
holster with "dog ear" to protect jacket lining from hammer spur.
3rd from left the 2" in Ken Null's RSS (Revolver Super Speed)
a Seventrees design, borrowed from Chic Gaylord.
4th from left the 4" in a Lawrence Field holster on a Lawrence
cartridge belt for tramping around in the boondocks. Shown
with my Buck knife.
5th from left the 4" in Heiser's carved #757 FBI holster on a
James Culver belt. Shown with my Bear knife.
