The model 10 is one of my all time favorite handguns.  Simple and rugged.

This is what the First Cavalry issued it's pilots in '66, and the only weapon I had on me the first time my aircraft decided it was carrying to much lead to keep flying... and 6 rounds of ammo, total!   ::)

Then I carried the heavy barrel version for what, 17-18 years on the Atlanta Police Department before we went to 9mm autos.  Never could shoot the auto as well...  :-[

Yah, I like the M-10!   ;D

I have a model 10 Heavy Barrel that was modified by a former (retired) Abilene Police armory; he added a ½ inch Bomar rib and adjustable sights, slicked the trigger out and added a set of grips..  It is a tack driver, not one I would want to carry on a regular basis, but an outstanding gun for the range.

All total I have five model 10s, love em all! ::)

Model 10's are THE classic revolver. Simple, accurate and easy to carry. I have two - both in almost AN condition.

I had one that I bought from an old security guard for $100.00.  somewhere along the line somebody had fitted a target hammer and trigger. Talk about sweet!  I had to sell it in a period of finacial drought.

I had to get rid of that dinky little grip, but man what a gun! Liked it when I first saw it, but wondered why would I ever buy a .38 when I had six .357s? What the heck it was used (though it didn't look like it) and cheap, and it was calling to me so loud that I just had to get it. It's probably the most accurate handgun I own. When teaching new folks how to shoot, I start off with .22s. Once they are comfortable with that I then bring out the 10. They always love it. When I'm too old and feeble to shoot anything else, the 10 will always be there.

I like model 10s for house guns with fast 125s.   Causes me less worry about shooting the neighbors if I ever had to shoot.   Less worry than the magnum calibers.
