New to me Vintage S&W

[Six Shooter Steve]

Picked up a new to me 1956 S&W Military and Police tonight. Has about 85 percent of the blueing still intact and still locks up nice and tight. Been looking for one of these for my son to shoot since its nice and light. I think it will make a nice addition to the safe. Sorry for the crappy cell pic, wife has the good camera out of town

Yep, nice addition.

I love seeing members here with an appreciation for great revolvers.

I bet that trigger is butter smooth.

Looks as if you've got some "Chicago loads" ready to go. Those "pre-Model 10"s are great old guns.

Nice. I have come to appreciate a good revolver.

very nice - your kid is lucky!

Figured for a couple hundred bucks couldn't go wrong with an old smith. Make a good shooter for my boy, and myself not everyday you can get a good deal on Armslist.

Very nice! I love old revolvers.

I LOVE my S&W wheel guns.

Beautiful. The model 10 or m & p (the original) is as American and iconic as apple pie. You gotta love a classic. Congrats on a great purchase.

Any of ya S&W guys know where I could get an old M&P box gonna give this to my boy for his birthday in a few weeks and wouldn't mind havin a box to put it in for him. He probably could care less either way bein 7 but later in life he might appreciate havin the box too.

Wish I could help. A nice lockable hard sided case might be a bit more practical, especially when transporting it.

Pretty much just for presentation purposes. We have enough hard cases on hand. But if I cant find a box, that's probably what I will do.

I have had good luck finding old boxes on Gunbroker. I also I hate to say it but "Ebay" still allows them to be sold on there. Otherwise you could crawl around at gun shows and never find one.
