Our Assessment: 
The Model 10 was a staple of police departments across the country for decades. Its K-frame, 6-shot capacity and, of course, Smith & Wesson quality making it an ideal service revolver. Over 6,000,000 of the type have been produced over the years, making it the most popular centerfire revolver of the 20th century. There were many variations made, the 4" heavy barrel are still being produced today! The K-Frame revolver is one of the most important innovations in Smith & Wesson history and was built specifically to handle the .38 S&W Special cartridge. Since its introduction in 1899, the K-Frame has been a favorite for military and police professionals as well as target shooters and enthusiasts. Today's K-Frame is available in .22 rimfire, .357 Magnum and .38 S&W Special. Millions have been produced and they are known to take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. Perhaps the "K" stands for King, because in terms of revolvers that is what the K-Frame is...royalty. This example is a nice heavy barrled scarce 2" barrel revolver from 1977-1992. It is in about Fine condition with about 95% of its blued finish and still has good mechanics and a great bore. This is very rugged and business-like revolver that would work well for self-defense or recreational target shooting. Please see our photos.
