Model 10

my S&W is later and has no pin above the barrel threads and the cylinder chambers are not recessed. I do not like a silver front sight but this one I can see ok. I have been tempted to "square butt" it myself to open more grip options. Hogue grips are by far the best feeling rubber type grips but they stick out a bunch. I prefer wood and I truly think the factory service stocks coupled with a Tyler T-grip adapter is about the best option.

I'd show you mine but I'd get fun poked at me. I've just not found the grip combination I like. My L-frame 686 RB has a set of prized Kim Ahrends stocks on it. I never, ever liked the S&W "target stocks".

The M10/64/65 is great. Just stoke it with a 158 gr. and go on with no worries.

In Fall of 1978 I was issued a model 10, blue, bull barrel, fixed sights, 4 inch, 38 special revolver. I was 21 and a brand new police officer. We carried 125 gr Winchester HP ammo and the only modification that was allowed was a grip change. Most of us installed the rubber Pachmayr Presentation Grip. Once we were permitted to transition to a .357 I changed over to a S&W model 28 Highway Patrolman. Back in the day these pistols were a solid, reliable work horse. You brought back memories from 4 decades ago, I am officially on the hunt for a model 10 such as yours.
