Smith & Wesson 10-5

jp092 · Apr 30, 2019

This Model 10 is in great condition. No signs of wear except the cylinder line of course. Excellent lock up, original grips. $450

I'd consider partial trade for a p10c, or trade towards a sphinx, m2, or p236 x5. No interest in ar15s, rifles in general, or milsurp.

Nice! A decent .38sp, very clean- much nicer-looking than my "pre-model 10" model 10 "M&P" which has gone plum-brown over the years. These were once the main-stay of police holsters thru-out the country in pre 9mmP days. 10-5's were produced from 1962 thru late 1976. The Magna-style grips were introduced in the late '40's-early '50's. Being as "old" as it is, it has a pinned barrel and no MIM parts or locks. According to Chuck Hawks- "All Model 10's from 1958 to the present are suitable for use with .38 Special +P ammunition, as well as all standard pressure .38 Special loads". FWIW.
These were still fitted together by hand... Good luck on your sale, someone will be getting a primo Smith!

Thanks for the great info. Do you know when they stopped hand fitting?
