Police revolvers of a certain era all look alike, and the Model 10 is the one they copied. This 10-7 is a used Smith & Wesson in .38 Special, and the factory box is included.

The Model 10 is a K-frame revolver with six chambers and a fixed sight. It is simple, reliable and easy to shoot. Model 10 revolvers were made with several barrel lengths, so the photos are the best guide to this one. Check that the cylinder locks up tight with no side to side play when the hammer is back.

If you have never owned a revolver, this is a gentle introduction. The .38 Special round is mild, and the K-frame has enough weight to soften recoil. The trigger is smooth in double action and light in single action. It is a good gun for learning trigger control.

An older revolver needs a check on arrival. Look at the cylinder timing, the lockup and the barrel. Then take it to the range and shoot it. The box adds to the value if you are a collector. It is sold used and as described. It ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check is completed there.
