I couldn't agree more.The funny thing is people buy the 357s and rarely ever shoot 357s from them, just 38s because they are easier to shoot and cheaper to buy. And I'm the same way. If I shoot a 357 round from one of my 357 revolvers its usually one of the midrange loads with a 158gr hard cast lead bullet pushed by 6.6grs of Unique to around 1100fps. Just a step up from a hot 38 special. And very pleasant to shoot from the heavy GP-100.

Three years ago I bought a 10-14(pre- classic version) and 10-10, both NY DOC trade ins and have no complaints with either. They were $336/each OTD w/2 speed loaders & pouches. I later found a near mint 64-8 trade in for $300 OTD. I find them to be smooth shooters and the K frames just fit my hands so well. Not too heavy, not too light and well balanced. Glad I bought them before the prices spiked.In my area, decent model 10's seem to be scarce and too expensive $500 min.
Given that pricing, a new M10-14 seems more reasonable.
Yes, I know MIM, the hole, etc.......
I have one; it has a nice trigger, locks tight, shoots great-
Everything one could want in a utility revolver.
Thanks but, I wasn't really in the market, I was just commenting on the prices of old guns that ought to be a lot cheaper.This model 10 is cosmetically challenged but the auction ends in 40 minutes. $215 last I looked.

$95.68 in 1973 dollars is $591.13 in 2021 dollars - and a brand new Model 10 from Sportsman's Warehouse will run you $750. So maybe prices are being effected by more than just inflation?
And second, and third, and.........They make great "first guns".
Whichever one you find first?I have a 3" Model 10 Blued RB and a 3" Model 13 Blued RB on my want list. Not sure which is higher priority.
