2.5" Model 10-8

As promised pics of the score. This is a beaut!

Very, very cool.

May I suggest a "vintage" Tyler T-Grip adapter (#3R) for that piece - with a bit of patience, they can be had on the Smith & Wesson "blue" forum for non-stupid prices.

I'd love to get one for this piece in the black/blue finish.

Edited my post to include the model number.
Happy to assist with sourcing one - expect to pay in the range of $50 to $80 for a correct vintage, which would be any version with the markings on the left side.

FYI/note/warning: the current product direct from Tyler has no markings and they take over a year+ to fulfill orders.

No problem paying a premium for this gun sir. And thank you!

Cool.

What kind of holster are you going to carry it with?

Not sure? Maybe a Bullit shoulder rig.:cool:

[MK11]

That just looks "right." Congratulations.

I need to look - I may have a classic 1970s era Rogers Kydex paddle new in bag. I just don’t know where it is…

[Rex G]

Beautiful! Congratulations!

[FrankB]

Congrats! I’m envious, but not to the point of pining. 🤣

[jandbj]

Sweet score! I always preferred the pachmayr adapter over the Tyler on K frames. They turn up on eBay occasionally.

[titsonritz]

That is a beautiful wheel-gun, congrats on the score.

If I remember it right, it's the same holster used by Clint Eastwood for a 2 1/2" 66 in "The Gauntlet".

Your choice would be perfectly fitting.

[Lon]

That’s a beauty. Thanks for posting pics. I vote for some Spegel checkered round to square butt stocks.

Nice!

Very nice!!

A Model 10 that begs to be carried and shot. Congratulations on this unique, very shootable K frame.

I'm always astonished at just how accurate 2" k frames are.

Yep. They are "The Snubby That Could".

Congrats, SouthNarc.

The Tyler T Grip is the real deal original, but recently their availability has been not much better than pot luck. Try the secondary market, or these https://bkgrips.com/store/ which are an outstanding substitute.

I was watching that one just to see what it would sell for since I had never seen a Model 10 in that barrel length before. Glad you got it. It’s a good looking gun. It would definitely look good with the T-Grip.

[coldcase1984]

What at a great model number for old school lawmen.

Damn these sure went up.

Wow. I had no idea that any were made in that barrel length. Nice find!

In the U.S. looks like 780. 500 to the FBI and 280 to the Michigan State Police. Mine is an MSP gun.

I’ve heard that a run went to the RCMP but can’t confirm that.

[onehalfmvsquared]

Holy smokes, a longer ejection rod and a replaceable front sight?

They'd sell every single one they can make

[SteveThePirate]

Damn these sure went up.

I had hopes to grab that one when it was still at around $850 with a couple hours to go, and then it shot up like a rocket. Hopefully going to a good home!
