[QUOTE="S&W 10, post: 1015397, member: 7355"] Knowing your primary use will be of great assistance in choosing the model that will suit your requirements best. S&W introduced the K frame in 1899 with the introduction of the M&P; in 1957 Model number designations were assigned to all Smith handguns. .38 spl K frames: M&P became the Model 10 (1899-current) Target Masterpiece became the Model 14 (1947-1999) Combat Masterpiece became the Model 15 (1949-1999) There are still some pretty good deals to be had on these models if you're in the right place at the right time. If you study and learn the subtle changes, sometimes you can even find a desirable variation for the price of a standard/common version. In my opinion some of the smoothest factory actions are found on the post-war transitional models, but earlier and some later revolvers can be pretty close. Smith revolvers are like chips...Bet-ya can't own just one! I'm kind of partial to the M&P/Model 10 if you couldn't tell by my username. ;) [/QUOTE]
