Avast, Me Hearties! Feast Yer Eyes On Me New Flintlock!

Arrr, ain't she a beauty?


It is a police trade-in Model 10 from Bud's Gun Shop. Some of them that I've seen or read about are a bit more worn than others, but this one's pretty sweet. It is a Model 10-11 that just shows some holster wear. The cop who had carried this one apparent cared for it. The -11 was the model where Smith & Wesson went from a fixed firing pin on the hammer to a frame-mounted firing pin.

From what I've read on the Intertubes, the gun came from Australia. The 10-11s were first made in `97; why the Ozzie cops were buying new revolvers in the late `90s is a bit of a puzzle, but hell, I'll take it.

(Why I opened talking like a pirate.)

Nice catch. S&W M10s are my all-time favorite handguns, no contest.
