[38ExtraSpecial]

i kind of like the old revolvers with the blue all worn off. they look well loved

I just bought a model 10 recently off gun broker, it was a police gun, and it has a lot of hostler wear, but it shoots perfect.

Awesome!
I used to hate nickel but it's almost growing on me now.
I'm watching some on GB right now. I've never really done that before so I don't know what to expect. They might jump like crazy the last minute.

 

[Pilgrim]

they come in blue or nickle, a few different lengths and either 'heavy' or 'pencil' barrels. The one I posted is a pencil barrel, it's thinner and has a slight taper to it.

There were a bunch floating around not too long ago, well "loved" police turn in's, maybe from AIM or Summit Gun Broker (??), I think I saw them listed from. Cost was pretty cheap too, but all were 4" bbl's. I've dealt with Summit before, pretty cool guy.

 

[Picton]

Enjoy.

Forgot to add: Made in 1959 or 1960. No shortage of holster wear, but it shoots VERY well.

'67 vintage. Blued Model 10

WWII Victory, which is essentially a parked Model 10

Thanks for looking,

Chris

Good god I need one of these.
I don't know if I'm going to want a pencil or a heavy. I figure I'll get one of each.
I'll look into aim and summit.

Is that what a victory is? Parked?

If I understand your question correctly, a Victory model is a M&P Model 1905 4th Change (the pre-war pre-Model 10) that was produced during WWII for the military and our allies, primarily the Brits and some other Commonwealth countries. It was called the Victory model because of the V-prefix to the serial number. May have also been some wartime PR name.

[Picton]

Yes, the Victory is parked. The grips are different as well, as shown in ranger's post; his is a really nice example.

A pencil barrel looks "right," IMO. Though obviously I'm biased.

thanks guys
thanks awesome. i need to get the standard catalog of S&W

I had a Victory that I sold to a good home (member here). It was a fantastic gun....I miss it!

I have a s&w model 10-5, it was actually my very first gun purchase almost two years ago. I love revolvers more than anything, so I'm glad such a venerable model was my first buy.

Picture added!

Everyone should have a Model 10. I have two and if another one came along in a variation that I wanted, I'd have three. There are people who collect Model 10s and related products. I also have a Model 18, which is a 22LR version of the Model 15. Which in turn is an adjustable sight version of the Model 10.

Like my M-10's, got an old snubby, a 3" and a 4"....... I'd get a pic of the snubby, but it's hidden somewhere and I don't want to wake up the wife...

Is that one of those Australian police guns that were converted to DAO?

Good question... no idea where it came from, but it is DAO. I saw it in the display case at G&GP... and had to have it... It's one of my favorites. I really like the 3" revolvers, have a pile of them in all kinds of models... 10, 24, 36, 60, 65, 66, 317, 325, 629 and more..

I hate you! I see pictures of three inch K frames everywhere, but can never find one in a store. A Model 10, Model 13, 64 or even a 65. Nope, can't find them. A break can not be had.

 

[38ExtraSpecial]

nice!

i just saw a pic of a chopped S&W 1917 brazilian contract that looked great. I think i'm going to find one and have it chopped to just past the ejector rod. The icing on the cake was the dark wood grips and a set of tyler t grips on it. it really made it all come together sweet.
i need one of them now too.
god i love S&W revolvers

 

[turbo38gn]

It hasn't been easy, when I've seen them at the right price... I had to hit em quick... I think I have a few more I didn't list, I have one called The Bounty Hunter, 44mag.. really neat. most of the other ones are Performance Center, also got a bunch of neet 2.5" ones.. 19, 66, 686...
