Pawn shop find: old S&W!

[woad_yurt]

Regarding the grips:

I like to shoot my K-frames & all have the same rubber Pachmayrs. This one's going to stay in my possession and it's going to get shot so it's going to be comfortable. I've always wanted a thin barrel, 5" Model 10 but it just never happened. Until the other day....

Gamestalker:
What's the relevance of an 8-9 year old price on a different and way more common gun? I was just happy that I had bought a really cool gun.

I bought it for only $359.00

That, sir, is a score.

I had one of those I bought years back (I think it was around $225, but this was a long time ago). Mine had Detroit PD stamped on the backstrap. It was a 5in. Nickle just like that. Had the original grips on it though. One side of them were perfect and the other side were worn smooth from carrying and duty gear I presume. A gunsmith buddy did a trigger job on it and IT WOULD SHOOT!!! HBWCs out of that thing were killer!

"old S&W"

That's not old. Heck, I graduated from high school in 1968.

I say that it's old because, for me, "old" and the great barrels go together and, of course, because it's over 40. Maybe I should say "older?" How about "mature?" *

Thank you, everyone, for the compliments. I still smile when I think about it. I'm looking for a 64 with the same kind of barrel, BTW, if anyone has one or has any leads....

great gun
great price

why is it that bananas make people laugh so much?

Are you sure that gun is not a 6" barrel? You measure from the business end all the way back to the cylinder.

Nice Find.

Nice guns. My nickel 10-5 5" says Detroit PD on backstrap.
