Model 10 Bangity

AIM Surplus has heavy barrel Model 10s in "shooter grade". These have been imported by CAI.

I ordered one.


The bluing is worn away along the barrel and on spots on the cylinder. There is some pitting under the grips. The import markings are discreet; on the underside of the barrel and under the ejector rod.

But the timing of the gun is in nearly-new condition. The bore, once I removed the traces of leading, is mirror-bright. It is definately a gun that was carried a lot and shot very little.

It shoots very well.

If you think that you may ever have a need for one, jump on this with both feet.

    I had a 1980s Royal Hong Kong Police Mod. 10 with the 4 inch skinny pencil barrel once, best trigger pull ever. Like yours it had holster wear and 'patina' but internally was clean. Bad handloading led to a barrel bulge so I had the heavy type barrel put on it. This much improved the balance and made it look more buffed to. I suppose it would have ruined the gun's collector value except RHKP markings don't actually add measurable collector value. Nice smooth gun though.
