S&W Model 10 4" HB fair price question

[Jake Chandler]

What would you think the going rate is for a S&W Model 10 4" HB? I would like to get a fair idea before I bargain with the gun shop here.
Thank you.

$250 to $350 depending on condition. Great gun. Love mine.

Walkalong is close. A lot depends on condition. I have three S&W mod 10s. Two with 4" LB and one with 2" HB. Not a finer .38 special made. Even today...

Look them up on www.gunbroker.com and compare condition and price.

Another consideration - and this from a guy whose first .38 was a 2" 10 - look at 64's. They are the Model 10 in SS. Much easier maintenance - and slight scratches/holster wear are easily fixed. A great 'plus' - almost all are +P rated. J&G Sales, and others, have security guard trade-in's. I bought a new/unissued 4" 64-8 made in '05 back in 5/08 for $309 from my local pusher. He has a new older 64, more desirable to some, in excellent condition now for $350. Either a 10 or a 64 will be a keeper - and a constant range-friend, as well as a great 'house gun'. Mine are stoked with Remington R38S12's, +P 158gr LHPSWC's, as I type this.

I'd say around these parts, $300 in very good used condition would be about right.

$250.00-300 in eastern Washington/northern Idaho. I've gone to two different dealers just a few miles apart and they were $100.00 apart in price.

Thank you all for replying to my fair price question, I'm definitely wiser now so I can negotiate a sale.
Merry Christmas

I bought a Corrections dept. trade in a couple of months ago for just $175.00

Finish is a bit rough showing light scratches and bluing wear at the muzzle and cylinder, but it's highly accurate and decently tight.

I wouldn't go higher than $250 if there is much more than slight wear showing. These things pop up for similar prices and lower pretty often. Keep and eye on S&W Forum classifieds. That's where I found mine.

Remember also that there are regional differences in pricing.

Called around to various gun dealers this afternoon...no luck on any S&W model 10's for sale. Newer models range from $400 up to $750 including a .357 and a S&W .45 revolver.

I'm starting to think my area is retail high. I'll keep looking as time is on my side.

Model 10's are where you find them.

If you are "calling around" asking for that specific model, the chances of finding one at that special price are not good.

Model 10, around here when available, are more like 350-500 depending on condition - just the way it is

The current "good deal" on used S&W revolvers.

I paid $219 for my 10-8 HB 4" like new.

Now they are in the $260-$280 range for the armored-car-company trade-ins they have on the shelf. Anything in the $200-$300 range is a fair price based on condition. These are not exactly uncommon, and that's a good thing.
