They certainly did (and still do) provide good service. The fixed sights are a bit of a limitation but if standard loads are used they seem to shoot pretty much to the sights.

Funny, the tapered barrel M10 did not interest me before, but now that I watched your video, I kinda want one. Also want a nickel plated M36. Love vintage .38 special. It’s my favorite caliber. Love my snubnose M10-5.
The standard grips look nice and classic but they are a hindrance to shooting the revolver to its potential. I have since added a set of Pachmayer grips and they help a lot.

Yes, it's 4" so 12(6). Being so classified made it much cheaper to purchase than a regular restricted. You pretty much have to load and cast if you want to any amount of shooting with .38 S&W revolvers, the factory ammo price is horrendous.

Got an Australian marked Model 11 in .38-200. Found that everyone's .38 S&W ammo was made with .357-ish bullets, and all leaded the bore horribly. Finally hit on the solution. 148gr hollow based wadcutters. 45/45/10 lube over some Unique, and they are good to go in both the Smith and the Webley.
Good plan. I have some older ".38" molds that drop fat bullets so those are what I'll use, or I'll powder coat some regular .358" size bullets to bring them up to .360.
That’s cool. Is it actually marked "mod 11” on the frame? I’ve been researching these a bit just because I’m curious… a person can get lost learning about all the different S&W revolvers and their variants
@@guaporeturns9472 No, it wasn't until the late 1950's that S&W went to the Model designations. At the time, it was just an M & P with a 5" barrel in .38 S&W.

Hide that thing.. don't let LeTurdo see it he'll wanna take it away. I was always under the impression regular pedestrian type Canadians were not allowed to own anything but long guns. But apparently not so. I guess with the new law you can't buy anything at all any more.

The Model 10 in this configuration is a great general purpose handgun. Very nice!

Not a one shot filmed firing single action. THANK YOU. Thanks for the video. Love the model 10.

The model 10 is one of those handguns I always wanted and I'm glad I got this one as it's quite a nice example.

Finally! someone who doesn't pull the hammer back before firing every time, excellent
Oddly I find I don't shoot a whole lot better using single action. When I shoot PPC most of the course of fire requires DA so I like to practice that.
Great video,thanks for sharing

Wow! Had no idea Cananadah was so green and warm this time of year! 🤣😂🤣
It must be that "climate change" they keep going on about.
Cool! I appreciated the heads on camera angle, I always wondered what it'd feel like not to duck 😆
That camera has nerves of steel!
I bought that Model 10 in 1968 as a new revolver. It was $65 with the larger target grips.

If I could have only one handgun it would be a 4" 686.

Staging works better for me.
