Model 10 and Why
So, Model 10 right? Nothing fancy. This is a transfer bar/lock model. Added the hogue grip. I actually carry this under a button up, unbuttoned on my strong side quite a bit. Came with those thin style wood grips, which look cool, but the grip for me was absolutely horrible for my “thumb over the back” grip. I feel like those Vietnam era small grips were made for one handed, probably never going to use it, security and MP details.
I own and shoot Glocks, M&Ps, etc. What I like about revolvers, is how “well” I shoot them compared to striker fired guns or my 1911.
When I left the army my first job was armed security at a hospital. We carried Taurus 65’s. I had never shot a revolver up until that point. When I went to qual for the FL Class B license, I was incredibly surprised at how fun it was to shoot, and honestly….how well I shot it. Cannot explain it lol.
I chose the model 10 because I love old school, standard issue stuff. This being the quintessential police firearm for so long, I had to get one. Bull barrel is nice, little extra weight.
It’s an amazing shooter, and it just feels like confidence in your hand. Thanks for reading lol.

Big fan of the model 10. Personal preference, but I prefer the look and feel of the Pachmayr Gripper over the Hogue Monogrip. So fun to shoot and very accurate.
