Very cool.
Revolvers tell stories.
Glocks are like Cliff Notes.
That is a heartwarming story. I'm glad someone who appreciates that ended up with the revolver.
First, order some of these:

It shot pretty well. The sights are not terribly easy to see, compared to a Model 10 or a 10-5. I had no trouble keeping in on minute of thug, double action, strong hand only at 50'. The only issue was the gun twisted around in my hand a little. So I might have to get a grip adapter for it.

This one is supposed to date to 1930. Six-digit serial, starts with a 6. The grips are a bit older. I found them at a gun show and paid almost as much as I did for the gun.
When I got it, it was wearing this set of rubber grips. I got a set of magna grips as soon as I could, and put a T-grip on it too. That's how I usually shoot it.
It's a former department of corrections gun, but doesn't say from what state. I rescued it from a pile of more modern model 10's, but wish I'd bought one or two of them, too. It's been loaned out to family members a time or two.

It works (10 yards).

Sorry, I just had to:
An old M&P.
A piece; tarnished history.
Roars to life once more.
Nice find.
