Mine should arrive Thursday. I will post pics.

Trying my best to avoid classic:confused:

:cool:

Mine came in Wednesday. I completely disassembled it for a detailed cleaning which it really needed. I am reassembling it now and noticed it doesn't have a hammer block. I thought I may have misplaced it but I took detailed pics as soon as I took the side plate off. Sure enough no hammer block. I don't think this is normal but I don't see any evidence of wear marks to indicate a hammer block was ever in place.

So can you safely carry 6 rounds in it?

It is not normal, all 10-7's were supposed to leave the factory with that part in place, mine (from that same batch) has it.

Just went to order one, all gone :(

Ok, thanks. I will be giving Classic Arms a call tomorrow.

If they dont have any of those parts around or offer to get one for you or reimburse you for one, I wouldnt get too worried about it, they are easily available, relatively cheap. and not a fitted part by any means. In a quick look, Ive seen them in the $7 to $12 range. In any event definitely not in the "send it back" category.

Classic Ams rep asked me to send pics. I did and am waiting for a resolution. I know the parts are easy to find and install, it will cost about $20 bucks shipped for the part. Not a huge deal but that turns a $220 Good condition gun into a $220 fair or poor condition gun since its missing a part. I am confident Classic Arms will make it right and there was no way they could know that some armorer or police officer had removed it since it functions pretty much as normal. I don't expect them to take the side plates off every gun before they ship and I definitely don't want to send it back since i spent about 5 hours cleaning it and rubbing BLO into the grips.

I just ordered a 10-6. I have a spare 2" pinned barrel stashed from an older Model 10. I'm going to trim down the frame for a set of round butt boot grips, and we'll see how she works.

Sounds like a cool project. I would like to see how it turns out when you are finished.

Will do. I'll shoot some pics before, during and after.

And they're all gone!

Hi Wayne,

If you want the 10-6 model with the pinned barrel, they are still available. This was what I got:

https://www.classicfirearms.com/smith-wesson-m10-classic-38-spl-4-blued-police-turn-in-hg4151-10-6/

I paid the extra $25 "Best of 10" hand-select fee, which they said would bump them up to NRA Good condition. I did the same on the Beretta Model 70 .22 semi-auto I got from them last week, and it looked very nice. In this case, I think the extra 25 was well spent.

I'm supposed to get the Model 10 tomorrow. I'll clean it and test fire it on Tuesday after work. You are welcome to abuse it then.

I was planning to replace all the springs, bob the hammer, slick the action and round-butt the frame for a set of Ahrends stocks I have stashed. I've got a spare Model 10 2" pinned barrel that I'll have Gene swap for the 4" tube. If you need that barrel, you are welcome to it.

I have an old Bucheimer IWB rig for it someplace, I knew that holster would eventually find a pistol to fill it. :cool:

True Americans should own a Model 10 (and some flavor of 1911),

[SeriousStudent]

Truth. This is my first Model 10, but I already have six 1911's.

Clearly I have some catching up to do.

[rd62]

Will a model 13 and a 1911 suffice? In all fairness the 1911 is in 9mm, but is a Colt!

[Duelist]

1930 M&P, as well as a 15, 18, 28, and 2 Jframes. No 1911, though. I served when we carried Berettas, so I have one of those, and some Glocks.

A K-frame .38/.357 is acceptable. Less so if it has a soul-drainhole in the sideplate.

[mtnbkr]

I have 5 k-frames, but no 1911s. :(

There's probably a perversion of a biblical quote where I should sell a k-frame (cloak) and buy a 1911 (sword).

The 10-7 is a nice traditional piece, but I find the pencil barrel makes it a bit light at the nose. For shooting, I'd rather have the heavy barrel version. I bought a nearly NIB (minus factory grips) 10-7 15 years ago. I keep it because it's a good example of the class, but it's not one that gets to the range often (been 10 years since I last shot it I think).

But are 1917's still acceptable alternate issue for the 1911?

Non unless you own a BAR or a Ma Deuce. It has to be an iconic gun designed by JMB, Jr. (may peace be upon him).

Point of order.

St. Browning also designed several iterations of the Winchester lever action rifle, including the epitome of perfection, the 1894. I would find this an acceptable offering, as it is a symbol of American self reliance and rugged individualism.

Saved by a .32! I'm claiming the 1903 loophole. I mean, I'm not sure it's iconic but Bogart, Patton...

Gotta stay American. I'm too old to learn to speak Canadian, eh, hoser.

[serialsolver]

Let’s not be narrow minded and not consider Mr. Browning’s shotguns.

My revolveer arrived. Condition is as described. I'm going to give it a good cleaning and take it to the range.

But only if it is a pre-1964 Winchester 94 :cool:

I appreciate Malamute pointing out this deal back in January.

I was able to jump on one and got quite a mechanically strong gun, albeit with a rough finish. I set about to make it what for me is "the perfect .38 carry revolver." I chamfered the chamber mouths, bobbed the hammer, installed 13# TRS, put on a set of used VG's I got from another member here, and finally had my local duracoat/ceracoat guy to refinish it matte black while I had it torn down. All told the project cost me less than $400.

I put it back together this week and today I went out and ran about 250 rounds of assorted ammo. It shoots great. It weighs less than my 3" M65 because of that skinny barrel. I have a strong preference for this 4" barrel in a .38 because it will wring out whatever the ammo has to offer, the gun's weight is such that I can shoot it all day but it is not obnoxious to carry. I am not partial to adjustable S&W sights on a carry gun so these are perfect for me. While I like the VZ grips and they have great speedloader clearance, I am not totally sold. I will likely try some others from my big big box of K frame grips this spring.

I am quite sure it will last longer than I do unless it gets shoved in a government crusher some day....

^^^I regret that I have but one like to give.

Excellent work.

[03RN]

You could always round butt it:cool:

[swampyank33]

That sure is nice! Reminds me of my haggard 4" M10+M15. VZ's on both, great shooters, just need to find a cost effective and durable finish option.
You just can't beat a 4" K.

Iirc my standard barrel 4" m64 weighs 30oz. 3oz lighter than my 2.75 m66

I wish theyd make a 3" standard barrel .357. Bet it would be 27oz.
