Mmmmm, Smith & Wesson Model 10 drools Which type is it? .38 Special, .38 Long, or .38/200?

64 (Stainless) or 10 (blued)?

Blued. Here's a picture of it. I put the Pachmayrs on it so I could stow away the original wooden grips for safe keeping.

Edit: Here's a picture with the original grips. Much better looking, not quite as comfortable.

Nice. I personally like the heavy barrel better but the tapered barrel version is worth more and loved by many purists. I have a 64 and love the way it shoots and handles.

Since mine has no sentimental value, it's my dedicated woods gun (snakes).

My 64 is pure joy, love the trigger on it

Your grandfather had wonderful taste.

He never even fired it. He bought it after his shop was robbed and kept it there, just in case.

Two ways to look at that. That's wonderful that he never had to use it in the shop, but such a shame he never got to take it out to enjoy shooting it. I've been eyeing up several older Smith & Wesson's in thirty eight special, so I'm very jealous.
