It’s the looks of the Model 10 that appeal-and those cosmetics were transferred to many of the K-Series revolvers. The Model 10 is one that S&W brought back in 2010 and is available with a 4-inch barrel in their “Classics” line.

38 S&W Special with many barrel lengths once offered-2-, 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-inch.

The Model 10 was/is sort of a no frills 6-shot double action with fixed sights-in. 38 Military & Police model was changed to the Model 10. Tens of thousands, maybe more were produced. 38 Military & Police models were sold here in the USA as well. Thousands of them found their way to foreign armies and foreign police departments, though many of these. A figurative jillion of their Model 10s were produced-though in its earliest days it was called the. Right from first glance those decades back I knew I loved the looks of that K-22-as well as the feel and balance when Arch had me shoot it at the range.Īs most handgun buffs know, Smith & Wesson started bringing back some of their old “Classics” that had been discontinued, and several K-Series revolvers are among them. 220 Swift, a Browning Superposed, an S&W K-22 and others. Arch had some guns I yearned for, like Model 70 Winchesters in both. It was one early winter afternoon of shooting icicles that I told myself, “Nick you need a K-22.” In the 1960s one of my mentors in hunting was Arch Hulings, a Marine veteran of Guadalcanal. If ever there was a series of great looking double-action revolvers it has to be the K-Series from Smith & Wesson. Consequently, revolvers predominate in my icicle shooting. Along many of these cliffs I can shoot to my heart’s content and never run out of targets-plus, as a bonus, there are never any bullet-riddled cans or plastic bottles to clean up. I select remote cliffs where water oozes out of the rocks. One of my favorite winter pastimes is shooting icicles with handguns– yes, icicles! I usually pack four or five revolvers and pistols into the car.
