I will shoot it, but probably not a lot. Smith just released the model 10 classics without the internal lock so I think I might get one of those to beat on instead.Love the old S&W and Colt boxes. That's a whole topic unto itself.
Nice find. Hopefully you will shoot it some to enjoy those nice actions!
What a beauty! Those are some sweet shooting revolvers.Original S&W M&P (model 10). Its in very good condition!

Sort of related, I was an armorer in the USMC and was stationed on Camp Foster in 2008. The Col. of our unit pulled strings to keep a 1911 in the armory that was his own issued weapon. This was left over somehow after the switch to the M9 in the 80sI love these old Smiths. I was in the armory on base one time and noticed they had clearing instructions for revolvers. I asked the MP why and he showed me a really nice looking Model 10 with US Air Force stamped on the barrel. I’d love to get my hands on one of those.
