I just picked one up at my local gun store! I got such a sweet deal I couldn't pass it up. I can't wait to carry it off duty! Great video btw! 😁👍

This model was used by criminal investigation detectives of the Royal Hong Kong Police before 1997. This model is my favorite, thanks for your video.

[@HillbillyMusings]

Neat info! this is my favorite Model 10 that I own. Thanks for the information and thanks for watching!!

[@genesutton6383]

I have a 1975 10-7 from Peru it says investigations de Peru. Yeah I just look at it I've never shot the firearm I've got a 10-5 that does my duty.

Was that car dealer Kal?

[@joemorganeatmyshortschannel]

Model ten is one of my favorites

[@HillbillyMusings]

same here :) classic reliability, hard to beat. Hope you're doing good Joe!

The old revolvers are beautiful. I also believe they should come out of the darkness of the safe, be used for their intended purpose, at least occasionally, and bask in the light where others can marvel at their aesthetics, simplicity, and functionality. Thanks for the video.

Very well said sir! Thanks for watching!!

Growing up a Landlord lived next to my apartment. He carried one of these snub nose revolvers when he went to collect the rent from his tenants, and would let me watch him clean it. Classic gun. Beautiful.

Thanks for watching!!

I just found an identical one from 1973, always been in a collection. You can see it in one of my shorts. A real pleasure both to shooting and for the eyes❤ Thanks for you video, it help me to choose.

Thank you for the review. Another term to use is bucket list and a snub nose model 10 has always been on that list for me. I have a 10-7 skinny barrel model for defense of the homestead. Look forward to your next revolver video.

[@HillbillyMusings]

Thanks for watching Lewis!!

[@jbretwilliams3127]

Love it. I have the same gun but with the rounded grip instead of square. My favorite gun.

[@HillbillyMusings]

I wish mine was rounded.. Thanks for watching!!

[@alfonsogarcia7689]

I have a rounded 10-5. Want me ship to you.

Beautiful revolver classic

Thanks Rob! It’s definitely on the “keep” list for me.

Beautiful! Thank You for sharing

Thanks for watching Russell!

[@wahivalleys3011]

It looks like mine, but a bit "newer-looking." Regardless, the M10 is the best, and I'd much rather have the square-butt over the round. You've got the right snub! Wahi' Valleys

[@Mike-up6go]

The screw head on the right side below the cylinder with all the marks around it is the yoke retention screw.........the previous owner was careless upon removing that screw. It is removed entirely, then the cylinder is swung out the whole way, then you can remove the yoke while holding the cylinder in place, so you do not scratch the finish. Then lift cylinder up and away. That makes cleaning and lubricating the cylinder / yoke so much easier. To put it back together just reverse the process. Use a dedicated gunsmith screwdriver that fits that screw perfectly and hold the index finger of your other hand up against the screwdriver shaft ( toward the bottom near the screw ) while you turn it to keep from slipping off. It's a shame those marks are on there......its totally preventable. You may already know this. Just my 2 cents. Nice snubby.

[@HillbillyMusings]

Yeah I hate idiot marks. Thanks for watching!!

[@craigfinley2507]

They sure made some nice ass guns, I can't afford one now, but I might run across a good deal in the future.

I’ve got a Smith & Wesson 19-3 that’s 90-95%. I’m afraid to take it out and shoot it. Fumble finger me would probably put a mung on it somewhere. Great gun, great video sir.

[@HillbillyMusings]

Wish I had the box on this one, Thanks for watching!!

[@jeffreyelliott622]

That gat is in great shape so get out and shoot it shoot it shoot it !!! My 10-5 has the 5 inch standard pencil barrel and I'm gonna get out to the range and shoot it indoors on paper and see how accurate it really is and mine is in that great shape also and mine has the diamond wood grips and is 1962 vintage I believe according to the S&W book !!!

[@HillbillyMusings]

LOVE the pencil barrels!! thanks for watching!!

[@Gieszkanne]

Do you know the weight? Man this blueing and finish is amazing! Yes it is to nice to use and carry. For carry I would rather take the 64 in 2 inch if I would want to carry it.

[@HillbillyMusings]

Sorry I should have weighed it! As I recall it's around 27 ounces maybe? Thanks for watching!!

Model 10s are meat and potatoes... they maybe not have adjustable sights but they are fine examples of tough 38s

[@HillbillyMusings]

They are the AK's of the revolver world. Thanks for watching!!

[@craigfinley2507]

What's the difference between that and a model 36

[@HillbillyMusings]

Hi Craig, the Model 10 is built on the K frame size, meaning slightly larger frame, grips, etc. Also the model 10 is a 6 round where the Model 36 is five round. The model 36 is built on the smaller, lighter J frame size. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!!

Hermosísimo modelo. Cabe destacar que el modelo 10 en todas sus generaciones fabricadas, fue el primer modelo de revólver moderno fabricado por Smith and Wesson. Desde el año 1.899 cuando se llamaba M&P a esta serie de revólveres, los cuales fueron usados por fuerzas policiales y militares en Estados Unidos. Luego vinieron los llamados Pre-Modelo 10 y ya a partir de 1958 comenzaron a llamarse modelo 10. En todas sus generaciones. Y mejoraron considerablemente a partir de ese año 1958 la calidad del acero al carbono, con el cual son construidos. De hecho dicen que pueden a partir de ese año soportar la presión de la munición +P. Todavía se fabrica este modelo en 2023. Esta ofertado en la página web de la marca en la sección de n de clásicos, como modelo 10. Viene sólo con acabado azul y cañón de 4 pulgadas de longitud. Es la única versión disponible. Yo tengo uno idéntico pero modelo 10-7 fabricado en 1979. ¿Tienes información de si soportan la munición +P ó no? Yo me comuniqué directamente con la fábrica para preguntarles y me dijeron que no era recomendable. Pero no me lo negaron rotundamente. Es decir que dejaron abierta la posibilidad a mi criterio de usarla ó no. Y me dieron el año de fabricación, de acuerdo a la información que yo les suministré. Gracias por el video. Agradezco tu respuesta acerca de munición +P.

[@HillbillyMusings]

Personally I wouldn't feed it a steady diet of +P rounds, but I would think it could handle it but like Smith says, do it at your own risk :) Personally I prefer 158 grain lead round nose in my classic smiths. Thanks for watching!!

[@geradebowden3293]

The only Smith that’s prettier is the 686 4” barrel . In my opinion.
