Stopped in at my LGS today and scored a really clean Model 10-7 in the original box. No paperwork, but I believe this revolver spent most all its life in a drawer. Looks like very few rounds through it and is tight as the day it left the factory. Can't wait to get it out to the range.
Thanks. I'm just itching to hit the range and see how it shoots.

That would be cool to harken back to the days when the Model 10 was in your hip, I think you should look for one

That’s a nice model 10 and it’s really nice that it was your Great Uncle’s. Those grips are quite something. Really nice.
THAT is a remarkable find! The last decent 10-anything I found locally was over $800 for just the gun, no box, no papers, and it was "nice" but not even close to that.
Nice. Yeah, back then (late 60's early 70's)the Dept. wouldn't let us carry anything other than 158That would be cool to harken back to the days when the Model 10 was in your hip, I think you should look for one
My Great Uncle carried a pre-Model 10 M&P at Las Vegas PD from 1945 until he retired in 1965. It was pretty holster worn, had a huge scratch right through the S&W logo and had some crummy electro pencil etching on the right side between the cylinder and trigger. It looked pretty beat up. I polished his sterling sliver grips and had it restoration blued after the etching & scratch were buffed out to bring it back from the dead.
Despite the age it still locks up tight and shoots well.

Detectives issue. Great find. I still have my m36 that was my authorized off duty and plain clothes work

That’s why they call it a COLLAR! Had to drag em in the whole way by their collar.
Exactly! And sometimes, you had to fight all his homies to keep him and Lord help you if you had
That's what happened to my 3" model 66. My wife used it to qualify with back in 1991 and when she came back
