S&W model 10-8

[Paul_M]

Hey Nutz,

I have a Model 10-8 in .38 Special with the original wood grips on it (I also have a Hogue Monogrip and 3 HKS speed loaders). No idea of total round count, but it's in great shape with only very minor cosmetic blemishes. What would this package be worth? Thanks.

This isn't a great pic, too many shadows and reflections that make it looked dinged and worn, which it isn't...

I would guess it at 5-5.25 with everything

That very much depends on the condition. Can't really say anything just by looking at that picture...

BTW...are you sure it's 10-8? I would rather say it's 10-5 or 10-7. It's not rated to fire +P rounds as the heavy barrel models, so the owner should be rather aware of that. Extractor rod is silver which shows extensive use in the past. Barrels are hard to find for these wheelguns and especially in 5" or 6" length. Without more detailed pictures it's very difficult to give you an answer. I would say $350-400 if everything is fine with it.

Want to sell the stocks separately? I might be interested. I need a pair for my model 17.

As long as the Serial Number is prefixed with a "D" it should be good to go with the +P rounds....... The RCMP did extensive testing when the transition to +P ammunition came into effect, and even SOME of the later/last "C" prefixed Mdl.10s were OK for occasional use with the +P rounds . .......

I contacted S&W with this question a while back. Answer was "no". It's all personal, but I'm going to stick to lower pressure with these revolvers.

A 10-8 with a five inch barrel would be highly unusual! Exactly who are they made for?
Perhaps it's really a 10-3 as the number 3 could look like an 8!
Even if it's is genuine, a model 10 with a five inch barrel here in restricted -land is only worth C$200.-300.00. Tops!

 

[Paul_M]

It's definitely a 10-8 and the serial number begins with an X.

Pistol 350-400....then sell the other stuff separate on the EE
