Thread: Is this really a Model 10?

  1. #1

    Is this really a Model 10?

    Here's a link to an EGunner auction:

    https://www.egunner.com/sandw-10-38-...uction_details

    It's listed as a "S&W 10 .38 SPL" but that doesn't look right to me.

    I don't have the energy for a pig in a poke right now, but I'm tempted. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen something incorrectly identified on EGunner.

    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    Looks to me like a 38/44 but I am not a revolver guru by any means.

    Looks like a .38-44 Heavy Duty, a fixed-sight N frame. If that price were a buy-it-now price, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat.

    Right?

    It's listed as non-functional but still....

    It’s shooter grade, not a DB museum piece.

    I agree: 38/44 HD.
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    Yes, definitely an N frame. Parts, despite common reports, arent too hard to find. If one is patient, they come around.

    If I had a gun budget id be looking into it.

    Look up the common rate of exchange for N frame 38s, its got a ways to go before it starts getting stupid. Ive seen them for fairly reasonable on GB, better than some brand new guns people seem to like and think are fairly priced.

    Ditto. I think I might buy a shooter grade soon. I've vacillated on bidding on this one. The "non-functional" part on this one may just be decades worth of cack under the sideplate.

    Edited to add: The fact that this one is North of three bills with several days left to go suggests to me that I'm not the first person to notice.
