I had the opportunity to fire a box of ammo through my friend’s WW2 era M&P .38 (what would go on to become the Mdl 10, from my understanding). With 158 grn LRN, this beauty was a tackdriver at any and all ranges, and it was very easy to handle. 4 3/4 tapered, pinned barrel, nickel plated, and locked up tighter than the vaults at Ft. Knox.
(As a side note, I ragged my cousin about his new Taurus 608). Told him my buddy has a 75 year old S&W .38 that has been used and abused, and STILL functions better and locks up tighter than his new Taurus. He didn’t take that too well.
Anyways, my question is; how will a new production Mdl 10 compare to a old warhorse like my buddies ? On a sidenote, is the new production worth $700, and what is the old M&P worth ?
