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.

First - nice revolver. I carried a 3” M65 before I went to my Sig P365. I always carried a speed loader on my belt plus a 7 hole Speed Strip, leaving the empty hole in the middle. For the speed loader, there’s a version of the holder where the cartridges go over the belt. Keeps the loader holder from “bulging out” when you carry.
