There is an argument to be made,,,
There is an argument to be made,,,
That the S&W Model 10 is "the" American handgun.
It's like the Ford F-150 of DA/SA revolvers,,,
There are fancier more elaborate handguns out there,,,
But as far as pure performance, none can really top it by much.
Several years back I acquired a grizzled old specimen in a trade,,,
Most of the blue finish was worn off so it looked like crap,,,
But it's trigger was superb and it grouped very tightly.
For some reason it shot a bit to the left at 25 yards,,,
I solved that problem by aiming a bit to the right.
When a young friend of mine graduated from Oklahoma State University,,,
I made a kit of the gun, a holster I made, and a Lee hand Loader,,,
Cased all together in a box I bought at Hobby Lobby.
I really expected him to buy something newer but he never did,,,
He's now in the process of trying to wear the gun out,,,
It just keeps on shooting as he gets better with it.
My point is that it's a truly great revolver,,,
It's what all modern DA/SA revolvers are measured against.
