Scored a Semi-Cool Old Smith

[doc540]

Well, not really old, just '69-'70.

But it was a "Metropolitan Police Department, Washington, DC" sidearm.

Bought it right, too.

Dude, where's the information? Model 15?

[doc540]

Sorry, Model 10

Round butt, pencil barrel

Someone must've done action work on it.

Trigger is superb.

[Mr. Beretta]

Nice 10-5.

Congrats!

Nice M10, the bluing in the first pic looks really deep and highly polished.

[CA357]

Congratulations! I have some trouble identifying the older Smiths.

I have a 95% plus Model 19-5 in gun jail right now. Blue, 4" barrel with target stocks.

Thanks
The bluing is pretty decent for a 40+ year old department issue piece.

congratulations; i like it.

It's clean. Should be a great shooter.

Semi-cool? That smith is sweet as hell. I love old smiths. Have to get my hands on one soon!

[CA357]

^ This.

Nice find! That looks like the same model I carried as a Navy military policeman in Alameda around 1984-1986, but ours weren't nearly as nice as yours is. Someone took good care of it.

You can't go wrong with old S&W revolvers. The factory stands behind them if you need parts and they shoot great.

Congrats!

^^^This. I would call that VERY cool!

Trigger/action work? Maybe, maybe not. Those old S&W out of the box will shame just about anything being made today.
