Heavy Metal
I purchased these two S&W 38 specials from the same older gentleman about a year apart. The Model 10 is a 4 inch heavy barrel and the J frame is a 3 inch heavy barrel. The J frame is a square butt. The Herrit grips on it add at least a half inch to the bottom of the grip. Not great for concealment, but it does make it very easy to shoot well. Both guns show holster wear, but do not appear to have been shot much. I have been enjoying packing them around in the woods. ![[image]](images/uploaded/20120807014807502073d754c79.jpg)
I love the 3" J-frame HBs...

was a 4", HB M-10. Shot leagues with it and learned a lot about what a fella could do with one of them round guns. That started a journey that has been varied, to say the least, and emminently satisfying. To paraphrase Col. Whelen (I think), 'A M-10 is never a poor choice.'
I gave it to my eldest son for his 30th birthday. That started up a tradition of giving my children handguns for their 30th. It's Son No. 3 this year....don't say anything but he gets a Blackhawk in .30 Carbine. (He's kind of a flat gun guy....we're gonna mix him up a little.)
That, Sir, is a nice pair.
