I was recently gifted a Model 10-5 Snubby Round Butt in near perfect condition. It was purchased new in 1972 to be a carry gun for a new hire FBI Agent fresh out of the Academy. He quickly transferred to the IRS Financial Crimes Unit so the Gun sat in a sheep's wool lined suede case until it was given to me. It was promised to me 20 years ago and the promise was fulfilled. My Son will own it some day.
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!
Love the 10-5 snub SB. I have one I love carrying. I’ll do a shooting video on it soon. I saw your thread on S&W forum. They’re worth every penny. Great video. Thank you.
I laugh at people who diss this lethal cartridge , I have a friend from Vietnam who carried a model 10 in combat with the Marines, he preferred it to the heavy 1911 they issued him and said it was a lethal weapon.
I also love the Smith model 10’s! Especially the snubbies. I have a really nice (w/box) 10-5 RB. Excellent shooter! I also just picked up a nice 10-5 SB in good condition, also with its box.
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
Thank you for showing the K frame some love, in my collection of S&W snuby’s I have a model 64 round butt, and a model 15 square butt.The 64 was made in 1989, and the 15 was made in 1970 (pinned barrel). Thanks again
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.

Something to be careful with is making sure to open and close the cylinder with two hands and make sure the cylinder release is fully depressed when doing so. I get that you needed the hand for filming but doing it like that over time will cause damage. Miculek's got a great video on it.
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
something I am sure I could look up, but would more prefer and love an illustration+explanation from you (could do a short few minute video, others like me might find it useful?) I have no idea what makes a J-frame, a K-frame, or whatever other frames are out there I would like to 'see' the differences, understand why they have the variances, why they're named that, whatever other information about these sorts of frames
czcams.com/video/GwA2oKk1i-4/video.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
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

Thanks man! I’m very fond of this gun! Can’t wait to shoot it! Gave it a good cleaning and polish tonight.
I have a 10-5 snub with gold trigger and hammer. Love that gun

@@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.
Fantastic find classic wheel guns and the six shot Smith was advanced in a snub like the Taurus 856 of old
I’m very happy with it!

Awesome gun!! I owned a Model 10-5 2" barrel SB,it was very accurate in double action at 15yds!!
I waited a while to find one- I love goofy they look with short barrels
@@crankygunreviews +1!!....
i just got a blued, 4”, s&w 10-5. i have only dry-fired it so far, action is incredibly smoother than warm butter.
The 4” K frame is the best setup IMO

Just found a model 10 no dash with snub barrel and round butt at my LGS. Needless to say it's on layaway.
I took mine out and shit it today. It’s as smooth and my Colt Detective Special. I’m in love 😍
1:46 it was a S&W model 19-5 (357 mag)
I put that in a note 1 second later
"Norton had no intentions of going that quietly"
Not sure I understand the reference.

How much for that snub nose 6 shot?
I think it was around 7 Benjamins when I bought it.

$75❔What a vintage ( ﾟдﾟ)
Huh?
You talked a lot about the great price you got for you Snub Nose/10, so why not just say it, or at least a "ballpark." Wahi' Valleys
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
