Title: Looking at a Smith M10
Post by: Two Bit Charlie on September 26, 2019, 10:57:17 PM: I'm looking at a Smith Model 10-3, with a Heavy 4" barrel. Would this be correct for Zoot Shooting? It evan has fake ivory grips!

Post by: Galen on October 04, 2019, 09:37:16 AM: I've owned the same Model 10 for over forty years. for most of those years this revolver has sported a Tyler grip adaptor. I recently ordered a new Tyler adaptor from the company that is now making them. Have any of you had any experience with this company?

No, but I've considered getting a couple.

Is that an N frame you have there made into a Fitz Special? You don't often see a Fitz on an S & W. Do you know any history on your gun? Who did the work and when? That's a great look, too bad it isn't allowed at an AZSA match, you know that safety thing gets in the way.

Post by: Baltimore Ed on October 04, 2019, 08:32:50 PM: I wish it was an N frame but it?s only a .38. It was pitted up under the horned grips so I rebarreled and fitzed it. It has an absolutely terrific trigger. I?ve shot it in our clubs 2 inch revolver shoots but it is staged on a prop for the scenario.
