Old S&W Model

I'd like a rough age on this pistol. Model 10, 3" barrel. Picture it in your mind. SN D637XXX. Can anyone with the book look it up? Thanks

Model?
Pics?
Most people need more than a SN to identify something.

The "D" prefix for the model 10 started in 1967. I am guessing this is a 10-5? I would guess early 1970's.

1973-1974 per SCSW. Nice piece. I just took home a 3 inch Webley from 1950. I like the 3 inch revolvers.

Thanks, it's not pretty but action is AMAZING. Were they all this smooth?

 

[sloughfoot]

yes, they were all smooth

Late 60's, early 70's. I had one, but it always shot a little left, so I traded it. With a little attention, the trigger is potentially very good.

Like indiucky said the Standard Catalog of S&W dates this gun to 73 or 74 and yes they are all that smooth. It's a Smith and Wesson thing.

I had a police trade-in 3" HB Model 10 (University of Arizona PD). SWEET trigger!

My 21 year old cousin who helps out in the shop has after two years finally quit saying, "Dang, that's a nice trigger." whenever he handles a Smith. One day he just looked at me and said, "They are all like this ain't they?" I said "Yes Grasshopper, they are." As Kalboy said, "It's a Smith and Wesson thing."

Thats awesome. I actually thought mine had some trigger work along the way. I even put my motorcycle on Ebay last night thinking I want to get a couple more of these wheelies! The next question is, are these guys good for +P?
