Better than advertised, and makes one hell of a bedside or car gun, can shoot P forever. This is the exact configuration I was issued as a pilot in SE Asia-as part of a Gubbimint all expense paid tour of the area with great scenery-which scenery could kill you, hence the model 10. Bought it for sentimental reasons. Got good value and great service.

Everyone loves this gun. Easy to fire, very little kickback. Beautiful piece of American engineering.

a classic, it came a little rough, but after replacing the springs, replacing the grips, a some Cerakote. it looks amazing.

Very happy with my purchase of this classic police sidearm. Smith & Wesson quality is very impressive. Some holster wear evident which should be expected. Any good collection should have one. I removed the Hogue rubber grips that came on it and installed the classic wood grips, which those with small to medium size hands might like better.

When you get a K frame Smith in this condition for the price that I paid for it makes me smile. It has some holster wear, lockup is tight and accuracy is excellent. If they ever get any Colt Python trade ins, I will be more than happy to buy more than I need...…. Uh Huh......You gotta have a dream

I think this revolver had a trigger-job done at some point because it is smoooottthhh. Mine came with significant wear, but trigger-pull is (and hence accuracy) is so nice, that I didn't mind. The wear wasn't bad; it's the kind of wear that gives a used fire-arm character. Glad I bought it!

The price on these S&W Model 10s, was at the time, too good to pass up. So, I bought 3, one for me and 2 more to use in my training classes. I expected these used guns to be somewhat beat up and not necessarily accurate, but for the close quarters combat training that I do in my CCW classes, I figured that they would be good enough and newbies couldn't abuse them too badly. Much to my surprise, all three were in decent shape and aesthetically pleasing. The real surprise came when I took them to my favorite shooting spot. All three of these Model 10s, were still very accurate. At 50 yards, I was able to break an orange clay pigeon on the first shot. Having found out the above information, I'm a bit more selective on who I allow to shoot these venerable old guns.

Timing was still great with this little gun. I just bought it out of nostalgia Buds was outstanding, as usual

I wish they had more to buy. Nothing better than Smith revolvers

Very nice gun. I am very pleased with it and can shoot it better than any of my other guns. I hope you get some more in.

Nice, very nice. Police trade-in from Victorian Police in Australia. It still have the VPA (Victorian Police Armory) inventory sticker on the frame. it's a Model 10-11 round butt. There was some slight holster wear on the muzzle and barrel. But that was soon fixed with some Perma-Blue and very fine steel wool. The action is tight, it locks up solid, and shoots fine, double-action or single. I was surprised how clean it was. I even kept the original grips on it as they showed very little wear. All-in-all it's one fine revolver and I'm very pleased with it.

This my second one of these pistols, I decided to use Buds layaway this time and I must say I liked this one just as good as the first one. I got this one just before they sold out, it was just as Buds described nice shooter grade gun Thank You Buds!!

Its just what I wanted wood grips and showing some character thank you buds!!

Buds was great as usual, this revolver is exactly as described. As other reviews have said, it did come dirty but that doesn't matter to me as I planned on cleaning anyway. Mine came with black Uncle Mikes grips which are great. I've only put 50 rounds through it but plan on shooting this one a lot. I enjoy shooting the wheel guns and slowing down the rate of fire and it makes it easier to recover brass lol. I really enjoy shooting and love the layaway that Buds offers. I've purchased 3 guns from them and will continue to get the best deals from them!

Unbelievable condition. As close to new as I could ask for.Super fast shipping.Again incredible condition for the price. If they come back around will buy several for resale.

Holster wear only added to to the iconic look and only very minor idiot marks.

Got this for my mother. It is a very nice 38 police special. It had some holster wear but that only gave it character. It was a solid tight pistol which appeared to be taken care of well. This cylinder spun forever. It came with Hogue grips were actually felt nice to my amazement. I may have to get me one too. These are simpler for those who are not going to be range flys and need a dependable weapon to keep by the bed. It came better than expected and at a great price.

Came as advertised, model 10-11 round butt . Great shape and locks up tighter than a drum, bluing better than expected. Steve H

The finish is baddly worn. All the blueing is gone from the crown and about 1/3 of an inch down the barrel. The grips are also baddly worn. Now for the good part. The cylinder feels nice. Opens up, and locks up smooth. It's a heavy barrel, so p is an option. It's a nice collector's item, so I'm going to keep it. I won't be using it alot because I have plenty of other guns that are in much better shape. If you're looking for a budget priced gun for EDC or home protection, I don't recommend this one. It's more of a novely piece.

I am a Team Buds member and thought I would order a Model 10, since I had been watching for some time. I have lost a few guns due to waiting too long. I began to order and lost my internet connection. After reconnecting, I had to start over again. Not realizing my initial order had completed. Buds shipped so quickly, I did not have time to cancel. Now, to the best part....I ended up receiving a round butt and a square butt. Both are Model 10-10, so manufacturing is dated to about 1988. Condition was great, other than holster wear on the barrel. Both had standard wooden grips. I could not be happier. One reviewer stated "I wish I had ordered two." Well I did, and although it was by mistake, I am thankful that my computer had a glitch that day.

Just received my police trade in model 10 Smith & Wesson. Very pleasantly surprised at the condition. Yes, there is holster wear but it still bears lots of deep blueing. I had intended on having a two tone cerekote done to get rid of what I thought would be a poor finish. Now, I'm not so sure. Action is nice and tight and the trigger is crisp. Should have bought two! Oh yeah, super fast shipping on this item also. Thanks Buds!

I suppose everything in life is a gamble...After reading the reviews, I thought "I don't another handgun" but I wanted to test Bud's lay-away program for kicks...and 300 bucks I thought why not...if its crap I can refuse to accept. This old Smith revolver is beautiful! tight and smooth as butter all rolled into a slightly weathered package. She's been carried a lot and shot little...finish is an honest 70-80% and the grips are a little bit chewed up (wood) but not bad. I like it and the full size 38 will remain in my collection as a rough and tumble track gun...like buying an old car, your not too concerned if you happen to scratch it! Thanks Buds...excellent transaction as usual!

A nice gun for the money, I just received my model 10-11 today and it was just as Bud's described it. Mine did come with rubber grips and they seem a little big gonna have to find something a little better.. Police trade-ins are a good value, granted they have alot of holster wear but they haven't been shot alot, police usally only shoot while trainning or qualifing hence a gun with a low round count. Well I think I have talked myself into ordering another one !!!!!
