RHKP Model 10

[highpower]

I picked this Model 10 up today. It's a late (1989-91 ish) 10-9 and in and of itself it isn't anything really special, but it has a interesting history as it is one of the Royal Hong Kong Police guns that came back into the country a few years ago. It is also the nicest one I have ever seen as it is in nearly 100% condition with the exception of a faint turn line. Most of these I have seen kind of look like they were rode hard and put away wet.

Oddly enough, after owning probably fifty or more Smith and Wesson's over the years, it is only the second Model 10 I have ever possessed the first was a 6" barreled one I bought new back in 1980 and sold off many years ago, of course I wish I still had it, but I think this one is a worthy replacement.

Wow, now that’s a piece of interesting history! Clean and good looking

Most of the ones I have seen are in excellent condition. Maybe a tiny bit of holster wear.

Nice score!

I might have over stated the roughness of the ones I have seen, but of the three that I have handled personally, all had a considerable amount of holster wear on the cylinder and front end of the barrel. Another thing I noticed was that the bare metal had turned a darkish grey color rather than looking shiny. Most likely due to the way they had been stored prior to being imported because they all looked roughly the same.

Very nice find OP. Oh! So nice to be in the free world....

Wish I was...

Nicest RHKP model 10 I've ever seen.

Congrats.

BTW....the # stamped on the back strap was the officer's ID # the gun was issued to.

I like military and police guns that are marked. I think it makes it a museum piece for my small gun collection. Thank you for sharing.
