Talk:Smith & Wesson Model 10
Other versions of the Model 10
M10 HB 4" version The hong kong police force had replaced all M10 models with Heavy Barrel version(4 inch) already.
Model 19 Comment
I removed the Model 19's inclusion from this part of the text on the main page -
.. It uses the K-frame size, like the Smith & Wesson Model 15 and the Smith & Wesson Model 19.
The Model 19 is a larger L-Frame gun, not a K-Frame. StanTheMan 04:08, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, the Model 19 IS a K frame. The L frame wasn't introduced until 1980. - Nyles
Comparison
How does this weapon compare with the Colt Official Police? I don't want to instigate a brawl between supporters of each, I was just wondering what the pros and cons of each weapon are since these two seemed to be the most common police weapons for decades. -Anonymous
Nickle
Were there ever any nickle plated versions of the model 10 made? The second to last image on the page looks like it may be nickle plated, but it could just be the lighting.
The Stainless version is the Model 64. So no. The Wierd It 09:17, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- Uh, wrong. There were plenty of nickel plated Model 10s in circulation. I've seen many, original tapered AND heavy barreled variants. Also there is nothing to keep a Model 10 owner from sending in his revolver to be nickel plated after the fact. MoviePropMaster2008 19:38, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- While there are no stainless Model 10s, they were originally available in nickle. And of course it's entirely possible that in over 100 years of production somebody has had one nickle-plated. - Nyles
Yes Smith & wesson manufactured the Model 10 in both blued steel and nickel plated steel for over eighty years. They stopped making the nickel plated models in the early 1990 (I believe. Don't have my copy of Supica and Nahas with me as I type this) when the EPA got on them. However S&W is once again making nickel plated revolvers. I guess they fixed whatever Big Brother said they were doing wrong. --Jcordell 18:00, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
