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]

Had a Model 60 3" .357 Mag with adjustable sights that my daughter claimed. Still have a 3" Model 65 that I like better as it is easier to hit with and just seems to fit my hands better as I get older. My old model Charter Arms Bulldog (44 special) with 3" barrell is still my favorite.

That is likely, I will check the serial numbers if I can remember the website to find date of manufacture from serial numbers. He bought them new around that time.

Yep, very classy. I have a skinny-barrel M36 with a square butt, and a matched pair of HB Model 10s. You can't beat them for easy carry and usefulness around a place like mine.

The second handgun I ever bought, and my first revolver...

by Hoot @, Diversityville, Liberal-sota, Thursday, August 09, 2012, 14:48 (4494 days ago) @ stonecoldrc

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.
