Smith and Wesson model 10-5 snubnose K frame. A superb backup or conceal carry .38 Special revolver 

That’s awesome!

I’ve been after one for close to a year. I happened on it, got it for $735 which is probably more than it’s worth but I haven’t seen many locally- saw a model 19 snub nose for $899 last week, and it was immaculate but more than I wanted to spend. Thanks for watching Buffalo!

Thanks man! I’m very fond of this gun! Can’t wait to shoot it! Gave it a good cleaning and polish tonight.

Right on!

I’m still after a nice 3” J frame 38 special (had one, sold it, regret it), a model 42 snubbie 22lr, and a Governor. Haven’t seen any locally for a long time. May need to buy online and have sent to my FFL

@@bubba2for2 ok

I think they’re the perfect size revolvers for my hands. N frame is a little chonky, and the J frame while concealable are not the easiest to hold while shooting.

@@crankygunreviews You hit the nail on the head, my round butt fits my hand like a glove. The J frames take much more practice time to master.

Snubbies, not snuby's.

I waited a while to find one- I love goofy they look with short barrels

@@crankygunreviews +1!!....

The 4” K frame is the best setup IMO

I love .38 Special, and love revolvers

I’m very happy with it!

@@crankygunreviews fantastic times are tight here in my house but they always are with my folks meds if i see some great deal ill trade older guns in but unless that happens ill just be getting more ammo here and there together by spring

Thanks for the reminder

That is overkill. Unless you are Hollywood style spinning and slamming the cylinder closed you will never have any issue with a model 10 wearing out this way. And yes I’ve seen the Miculek video I understand what he says but most of us in the forums disagree.

I tend to agree with you- if it was an issue, every vintage revolver I own would be destroyed by now. Hollywooding them is definitely bad, but closing the cylinder by pushing on it gently, I don’t think will harm them

Could be. The 12’s are sweet too

I took mine out and shit it today. It’s as smooth and my Colt Detective Special. I’m in love 😍

I put that in a note 1 second later

@@guaporeturns9472 nope, never worked with him

Not sure I understand the reference.

@@SheikOutdoors I never saw that movie that’s why I didn’t recognize it.

@@crankygunreviews sorry it was pretty vague. I get excited when I see a nice revolver

@@SheikOutdoors I forgive you, I love a good revolver too

I think it was around 7 Benjamins when I bought it.

Huh?

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GwA2oKk1i-4.html This is far better than I could explain it. Hickock45 has them all layed out on the table. S&W history is crazy- they had names like “hand ejector” and things like that till they came up with numbering in the 1950’s. But simply put, the I frame (NLA) and J frame are compact 5 shot revolvers, K frame is a full size 6 shot revolver (some are 7 shot), the N frame is a little bigger than the K frame, and they get a little bigger when you go to the big bores like the 500 S&W

@@crankygunreviews cool, I watch H45 sometimes, will check it out I thought it had to do with like...the shape of the frame ...will see!

@@zerpblerd5966 more of the size of the frame

@@crankygunreviews aye, nothing about shape or initial of the designer or anything ( :

@@zerpblerd5966 nah I don’t think so.

I don’t think I said I got a great price on it… I said I knocked $50 off the asking price.

It was $750

You are probably correct, and I heard wrong. Thanks...by the way, great-looking gun! Wahi' Valleys

I’m sure it will, but I’m small doses. It’s not rated for it on the barre but usually ocassional shooting or carrying plus p for defense is usualy okay

Pardon me- I wasn’t the best in English class.
