Information Wanted On S&W M10 .357, Colt New Frontier .22 Values Ect

[Ariser]

Hello, have the chance to purchase a Late 1970s Model 10, (also could be a 1980 Model 19) .357, six inch barrel. Serial #72K590954***. I feel quality control might have been an issue around this manufacturing date. What would a good used value be?
Also Colt New Frontier .22lr . serial # G1495**. Value ect. Thank you for any positive information.

Well if it is a Model 10 in .357 you have an extremely rare find. Very few were made and the usual going price would start at about 1000.00 and go up from there. I have seen one in my years at a gun show in Salt Lake City in a display case of a S&W collector who only collected Model 10's and there variations. More likely it will be a model 19 non-pinned/recessed version.

Release the cylinder and it will tell you on the frame that it is a model 19-3 or something like that. By the pictures that were posted it looks like it is in good shape but the condition of the innards are unsure of, is the timing correct, has someone played with the trigger, do the sights adjust etc? Price wise most 6" S&W revolvers in good shape go for 350.00 and up.

As far as the Colt is concerned I have no real answers for you, most colt single action revolvers are extremely over priced for what you can get in a Ruger compatible. Always amazed me why someone would spend 1600.00 on a colt .45 single action when you can buy a Ruger for 500.00 and get the trigger done if needed for another 100. But I digress.

The .357 version of a Model 10 would be a Model 13. The Model 19 has adjustable sights whereas both the Models 10 and 13 have fixed sights.

You have a Model 19 .357 Combat Magnum. Your serial number dates the gun to 1980 vintage.If you open the cylinder you will see the model # stamped on the frame. The quality control in that time period was just fine.Your gun looks to be in nice, unaltered condition with original target grips.I would think your gun should sell for around $550.00, perhaps a bit more if you have the original box and manual.

Looks like you were bang on rfo1, a 19-5 just sold very quickly for $575 shipped on EE. The pistol is almost the same model, mine being a 19-4, and appears to be the same condition.
