I'm a huge fan of Smith's K frames and I also like revolvers with long barrels. I now have eight various K frames to include four M&P/Model 10 revolvers. For awhile I've been wanting to add a long-barreled Model 10 (I also own a Model 1905 3rd Change M&P with 6" barrel) to my collection. By the fifties the 6" barreled revolver was on it's way out with law enforcement. It just wasn't very comfortable to have a long barreled revolver while sitting in a car. But S&W kept offering the 6" barrel until the mid-eighties. However I don't usually come across them. The Model 14 yes, but not the Model 10 with 6" barrel. I let this one sit in the display case at my favorite LGS for a couple weeks and decided I had to get it. Went over this morning and it was still there. Which is what I figured. Most folks don't want a 38 caliber service revolver with a 6" barrel in 2015. Oh well their loss is my gain. Mine was made in 73.It's serial number is D51****. The frame is clearly stamped 10-5 under the crane. In my opinion the long barreled Model 10 is just sharp looking. this particular example has some minor finish blemishes, but mechanically it's in very good condition with a clean bore.
