As most of everyone knows I had to sell off all my guns to get all my bills caught up . After catching everything up i had a little let over. I went to a local shop just browsing. There was a revolver just sitting on the shelf collecting dust.I asked to see it and it turned out to be a S&W Model 10. He gave me a good deal on it and i brought that lil puppy home. I am no longer unarmed.

I know its not everyones cup of tea but its better than a sharp stick. I like revolvers and feel comfortable with one. :righton:

Nothing wrong with a S&W 10. I had one as my bedside gun for a while when I was just out of college and couldn't afford much else. Very accurate, smooth trigger and with the proper round .38spl will get the job done in almost any situation.

Nice looking gun. So what did you get in "trouble" for? Was it for buying a gun, or for spending the money on the gun instead of something else? I am guessing the "boss" is wife or girlfriend.

 

[jmathis84]

I am trying to find the old "FBI" load to use in it. Anyone know where to get some of it around Gwinnett?

 

[jmathis84]

I got banned from the gun store but the GF.She said i didnt need another gun.

I've got a 10-6 that looks just like that :righton:. My great aunt had it as a nightstand gun for years, probably only fired once or twice before I inherited it a couple of years ago. Fun gun to take to the range, although the handloads I'm going through smoke up the whole place every time...

 

[jmathis84]

I really like it so far Commodore. I may get the chance to shoot it this weekend.I will let ya know how it runs.

"Awww come on baby, it was on sale!!!"

:lol:

 

[jmathis84]

Tried that one man. DID NOT WORK :lol:

You are quite WELL-ARMED!

 

[jmathis84]

Thnaks Match. I feel comfotable shooting revolvers. I cant wait to take it to the range and give it a good run

Sweet! Is the "BOSS" also banned from shoe stores etc?

AS for load... there was a pretty good article in (??) GUns & Ammo last month (which prob means Jan issue) about 4 or 5 different .38 loads (only 1 not +p) out of snubbies.

I carry a .38 often (snubby) and personally like the Hornady Critical Defense.

Good Luck finding the load you like. (now you need a holster for that... find one "one sale"??)

 

[jmathis84]

NAH. She doesnt shoe shop. A holster a hard to find for it. There are alot out there but the dont cover the trigger guard and i wont carry a holster that doesnt.I am gonna have fun finding a good load for this gun. Test some and see what I like

 

[BSCLibertarian]

You can't beat a good wheel gun IMHO. :righton:

There are few people on here who can make you a holster reasonably priced and they get rave reviews. I don't know all their screen names off hand but look in the Holsters/Method of Carry stuff....

I had Hornady Critical Defense in my old .38 (until I traded it for a pocket pistol) and felt very well armed.

 

[jmathis84]

I like the Hornady Critical Defense in my 1911. I may pick some up and try it out. I am gonna choos between that,Gold Dots, and the "FBI" Load.

 

[BSCLibertarian]

What's this FBI load?

 

[mountainpass]

What's this FBI load?

158gr LSWCHP

 

[BSCLibertarian]

Lead Semi-Wad Cutter Hollow Point??

 

[jmathis84]

Yeah BSC. I have been told by many many people to use it in my 38 special.
