I've been sticking 5or10$ at a time away saving up for a nice .38Sp. I've been wanting to reload some .38s but the only .38 I had was a little Rossi stub nose. I found this model 10 at Cabelas for $299.00. Wasn't looking for nickle plated pistol, but she was the best of the bunch they had.

Near as I can find out, she was made in 1977.

She's a beaut, now all you need is some range time with your new friend.

Good goin' Deadeye! Have you shot it yet? Is there something wrong with nickel plating? Is that why you called it a sissy gun? I'm happy for you . . . are you happy for you?

 

[Johngoboom]

That is a BEAUTY Deadeye...when you get sick of shooting it, you just send it to me, and I'll make sure to keep her busy at the range.

Yes I'm very happy! No I haven't had time to work up my loads yet, but I can't wait to take her out to the range. It also worked out great that she fits a holster that I won in a Karma that didn't fit my Redhawk.

The sissy gun thing is just a joke. :lol:

i've always liked pencil barrel model 10's.............

and you can be suprised just how many folks are intimitated by a shiney nickle gun when on the other end of it...........

i swear, point a blue steel 38 and they don't care.........but point a nickle plated raven 25 auto at them and they start to pee down both legs................... :lol:

Great looking gun Deadeye, congratulations!

 

[XLCH]

Looks good Deadeye, I think you will have many an hour of fun with that gun.

Is that the Gould and Goodrich holster you won from me? Glad you found a use for it.

 

[Bountyhunter]

Nice gun, buddy!

Do you know if they make them in men's calibers too?

 

[sheepdog]

Jim Cirillo's ghost'll get you for that one, BH!!!

Yes, it's a perfect fit! Thanks bro!

 

[Johngoboom]

No Problem.

 

[Deadeye]

Nice gun, buddy!

Do you know if they make them in men's calibers too?

Yes, it's called the Model 29 .44Magnum! It's a MAN'S caliber VS a cowBOY caliber!

 

[sheepdog]

..guess I gotta be a boy, then, cause I can do some things with a 2" Bodyguard that a lot of guys can't do with a full-sized any caliber....it's all in the way you think about your weapon....seriously....far more bgs have bitten the dust from a well-placed .38 ball than any other caliber cops have carried....

 

[Bountyhunter]

Nice gun, buddy!

Yes, it's called the Model 29 .44Magnum! It's a MAN'S caliber VS a cowBOY caliber!

Bah! :lol:

 

[sheepdog]

...I do believe it was the .45 Colt that tamed the west and was here first...the .44 Mag was a loud little brother of the .44 Special...which still is.... :lol:

I believe the .44/40 was first!

 

[Wizard]

Very nice, Deadeye....

I'm guessing you'll like how it shoots especially the trigger. The Model 10's are +P rated as well. I have a blued version that is the M&P and pre-model 10 and it's standard loads only. If someone asked what it the only gun they would need for home defense I'll send them a copy of your photo. Good job and enjoy it.
