I have a pre-model 10 made around 1950 I bought recently with a square butt and a pencil barrel. I decided to compare it to my model 64 made in 2013. And being a lefty, I decided to shoot the pre-model 10 right handed to give it a disadvantage. Guess which one had the tighter group?
It wasn't the 64. But, I have to say this. It has a round butt with a bull barrel and I have wooden grips (I can't stand rubber). The square butt is easier to control and the pencil barrel is lighter and easier to manage. Still it was telling that a 66 year old revolver beat out one made only a few years ago.
BTW - the older revolver no longer had the original grips on it and I had to buy some of the newer square butt grips from S@W.
