[GP100man]

i went to the gun show in fayetteville nc & rite off saw a model 10 like my grandpa had that got missing when he died ,but i found it,it had been hocked because my cousins wife didnt want a gun in the house!!!
so i looked it over & paid 265 for it ,shot very little ,very lite turn ring ,pencil barrel thats pinned very solid & smooth as glass trigger!!!
probably paid too much ????? but i wouldve felt terrible leaving it there!!!
the only smiff in the house now, but the memories it brings back are priceless

Nice pick up, now go and shoot the thing and share your memories.

The way prices have been increasing on used Smith revolvers lately you didn't pay too much. Enjoy!

I have a 15-4 that I paid $200 for two years ago. It was unfired, but had been exposed to moisture, so it had some pitting on the barrel and cylinder. I thought I had paid too much as well, but it shoots 1 1/4" groups at 25 yards. The trigger was stiff at first, but now as smooth as any Smith I have (5). Take care of it and it will give you a better return than the stock market.

I agree with Ron.
Prices on the "classic" Smiths and Colts are going through the roof. I think you done good - go shot and enjoy it.

Pencil barrel?

Is that anything like the standard barrel?

 

[armoredman]

Nice, not bad price at all, no sir.

 

[SASS#23149]

I"d pay that for it.
to me the price is secondary to the want sometimes.
Now go forth and shoot.

Is this your grandfather's ACTUAL gun? Or just one like it?

If its the actual one, you clearly didn't over pay (nothing like a true "family" gun).

Thats great, I hope that is infact Grandads gun. My Mother gave me her 10-8 yesterday and what a nice shooter it is. Thanks Mom. Robert

a pencil barrel is the litest brl offered by s&w reel thin & lite.
the standard now is a heavy ,like the one in the web site pic for mod. 10

Zundfolge
no its not the acual gun, but its just like it ,the pencil brl. & the firing pin on the hammer.

If it was actually you grandfather's gun you got a bargain, you can't put a price on something like that. Not a bad price either way. Enjoy it, I know I do all of mine (3)

Yes, but if the shoe fits...
