Up for sale is a Gunsmith special S+W Model 10 from WWII.
A bit of backstory on it. this was part of the US Lend/Lease program, where we sent over several different weapons to our allies in Europe. Among those were these Model 10s.
What distinguishes this from other model 10's is the lanyard loop at the bottom of the grip, as well as the Parker Hale, England front sight.
Why is this considered a Gunsmith special?
Originally this was chambered in 38 Short/Smith+Wesson. When it was sent over to Europe, it had a cylinder, barrel and a few other changes to it in order to accept 38 special. Because of this modification, it is very picky with ammunition and cycling.
Personally, I have only fired this once with Ammo Incorporated 38 spl 125gr, and it did not like it. Had trouble cycling and the rounds got stuck.
I would recommend this to someone who likes projects, weird parts of wwii history, and revolvers in general.
Price is $250 + Shipping, or can meet at an ffl in the King County area.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
