??? Would YOU trade an AS NIB SD9 for a late model M10 subbie.....

[dogsoldier]

...in 97%+ condition? It's blued. Unsure of specific 10-??? specifics.

 

[M3Stuart]

I would.

Metal vs. Polymer. Revolver vs. SA. Aren't making them anymore vs. making them by the boatload. $329 online (for the SD) vs at least that - if you could find one in that condition ANYWHERE. (assumes late model 10? in 2". probably same answer for a 10-? in 3")

It's only my opinion, but I would value an SD9 at least $150.00 more than a model 10. 10's are common as dirt, & a snub 10 never made any sense to me. But I wouldn't pay $75.00 for a new mod 10 when they sold new for that, I ponied up a little more & bought the much nicer model 15 in a 4" barrel, or looked a little harder to find a Chief's Spl if I wanted a snub.

I recently traded a slightly used Glock 17 for a used but not abused 2 3/4" Ruger Speed Six stainless .357 and I felt that I got a good deal.

I would take a 2" 10 in a second over a 9mm poly popper.

2" 10's were aimed primarily at the LEO market or for those who wanted a 6-shot .38 with a concealable barrel length.

Everyone has different opinions, I never thought the 2.5" 15's, 19's and 66's had much of a point, but I don't think target sights on snub revolvers make much sense either. But others love them. There's a market for everything!

As long as the model 10 snub had a hammer mounted firing pin, I'd make that trade in a New York minute. Regards 18DAI

 

[long colt frazier]

I would trade in a hot minute, but I love revolvers

 

[dscampbell]

Revolver over semi auto any time for me

 

[Frizzman]

If in 97% condition...YES

 

[Horace & Daniel]

Yes. I'd do it.

 

[cornfed83]

I would make that trade any and every day of the week! You figure even though the SD9 may retail for a little more they don't make the model 10 any more and a good all steel gun like that will last a life time whereas SD9s don't have the greatest service record in the world.

With +P ammunition and a Crimson Trace laser grip you would have a powerful, reliable and easy to maneuver home defense gun. As a carry gun it would be a bit more difficult to conceal than a 5-shot J frame, but lots of people do it successfully. In bright light at a range it will be a bit harder to hit accurately at longer range due to the short sight radius, but it will be enough fun to shoot that you'll want to practice a lot to get better. And you never have to stoop over to pick up brass (as a reloader who's getting older this is becoming more and more important .)

If you do to for the M10, I've found that most of my S&W fixed sight 38s shoot pretty much to the sights with 158g bullets at standard pressures. Higher velocity typically prints lower, but the velocity difference in a 2" barrel between standard and +P rounds is not that great. And of course if you put a laser grip on the thing you can zero it for whatever ammo you will be using when the SHTF.

A model 10 has a very long and storied history and fine reputation.
Can you really go wrong with a Model-10?
A 4" model 10 may prove to be a challenge to CCW but can be done, The 2" is alot easier and a 3" k frame is the cats meow.
Go for it and do not look back

 

[MoMan]

Without a doubt! I would take that trade all day, every day! I recently purchased a Model 10-5 in GREAT condition and love it. I also came across a Model 36, 2" snubby that I puechased from the original owner. He bought it new in 1977. Both of these guns have gone to the top of my favorites list.
I guess you could call me a revolver whore!! I currently have 5!!

 

[dogsoldier]

Bummer! The 'deal' fell through. The pic the guy sent me WAS NOT representative of the gun when viewed in person. I would rate it 75% at best. Mechanically, it was fine. Finish-wise....it was sorely lacking. Funny, though...most 2-inch M10s that I have seen have a square butt. This one had a round butt.
