Used by Dirty Harry's kid brother Lightly stained Sam.

Sorry best I could come up with in such short time.

I lol'd for what it's worth.

I'd love to see this with the wood on it. Really cool pencil barreled Model 10 variation. I've messed with a few 10-5s and the nuances in the way they balance and point are an interesting juxtaposition from the ubiquitous straight wall bull barrel versions. I have a hard time deciding whether or not I'd rather have a 10-5 or a 10-6 as my one Model 10. I could always buy both of course.

Like this?

I like the look of wood on my revolvers, but when it comes to actual shooting I prefer rubber grips. So I have both.

I like the heavy barrel for the Model 13/65 and the Model 14 Target Masterpiece, but I prefer the tapered barrel for the Model 10. More for the esthetics than any perceived advantages.

Very nice! I've never actually shot a proper Model 10 in .38 Special but I but its a tack driver.

They are. The lockwork and the smooth trigger has a lot to do with it, but I also think the size of the frame is a big reason. Most folks have average sized hands and the K frame is just the perfect average size. Ed McGivern had small hands with stubby fingers and the K frame fit him perfectly. On the other hand Jerry Miculek is a bigger man with considerably larger hands and he likes to use the N frame for his work. But most of us aren't his size. I'm 5'6" with average sized hands. I get it.

Funny you should say that, I'm roughly the same size and about my favorite wheel gun is my Police Positive Special because it just fits my hand perfectly.

Needs a 21" barrel. Why? Just because, of course.

When I was younger I didn't like the K frame because it wasn't big enough. If it wasn't a Dirty Harry sized revolver I considered it wimpy. But then I considered myself to be 6'00" tall despite what the doctor would tell me during my various Army physicals. I got older. Realized I wasn't a basketball player and realized I liked a revolver that actually fit in my hands.
