The gun has not been cared for; underneath grips may
reveal a nightmare of more neglect.
Chambers all crudded; suspect barrel the same.
Suspect under side plate more crude.
What I want to know, did a pitbull chew on the
barrel near the muzzle. The left side looks ugly.
Good grief...it's a tool, not a play-pretty. If you want it, buy it, clean it, use it.
I went through a Model 10 craze recently and have had I guess a half-dozen of them plus a Model 15.
If you're interested in a Model 10, I personally would forego the heavy barrel, I don't think there's much if any advantage to it. I would also forego a Model 15. Yes, adjustable sights are nice sometimes, but they teach shooters bad habits; instead of learning to hold and shoot the revolver properly, we twiddle with the sights.
Lest ye think fixed-sighted revolvers aren't "accurate", the Model 10's I have owned and have all been very accurate and shot to the sights with any reasonable load. When I mention an "unreasonable" load I'm just talking about heavy defense loads such as a +P 158 gr. SWCHP running 1000 fps, which tend to shoot a little about POA.
