A taste of Hong Kong.

I saw your Firing Line posting of this.

Do the grips have Royal Hong Kong emblems, or are they standard S&W medallions? I've always wanted the grips with the RHK markings.
Any more where that came from?

We had a bunch of these about five years ago.
Like new and about $300.00 out the door.
Very good buy and they sold quickly.

Here's a posting I did a few years ago on this piece...

Mine is a 10-9, serial # BEB5xxx.

It was made on October 20, 1989 and was one of over 13,000 shipped to the RHKP. They were all (most?) taken back in trade by S&W when the RHKP replaced this model with the Model 10-4" HB (heavy barrel, and yes, the "Why" of this escapes me too).

At that time, the RHKP went from the British style holster with flap, butt forward on the left hip to the holster worn on the right hip. A 6-round speed loader was also then added as standard police issue.

The original issue had a lanyard that went from the lanyard ring to an epaulet on the officer's right shoulder, I don't think that the heavy-barrel replacement had the lanyard.

The engraving of the RHKP serial number was done in Hong Kong.

... and also, if you do a search on EBAY for "Royal Hong Kong Police", you can usually find some nifty odds and ends to go with your revolver - patches, badges, etc. All on the market as their name no longer uses the word "Royal

Ah, the rocking Hong Kong police!

It's beautiful, though I suspect Yun-Fat would carry one in each hand and a third in his mouth.

My very first gun was (is) a RHKP S&W model 10. Mine is in a lot worse shape cosmetically - dings, scrapes, worn finish, etc., but it is a great shooter. I got it from a guy at a local flea market for $175 back in the mid-1990's. I just took it to the range on Memorial Day for the first time in several years and remembered how much fun it is.
