Revolver Help

[PhillipP]

Been trying to find a .38 caliber revolver that I like....really like the Smith and Wesson Model 10 but would prefer a 5 or so inch barrell. Does anyone know if there is a revolver manufacturer out there that makes a .38 similar to the M10 but with a 5in barrell.

All i can find is 4 in barrells and 6 inch barrells.

Buy a Model 10 with a 6 inch barrel, a power grinder, and some sodder. Cut the barrel to 5 inches, and use sodder to attatch junk metal as a front sight.

Now wasen't that simple?

I'm 99% positive they made a 10 in a 5 inch barrel. It might take a little longer to find, but search those internet auction sites or start emailing places like cdnn, etc. and see what comes up.

Dunno if you want to go this route, but the S&W Mod 60 (357mag/38 Special) is a 5 incher.

S&W had a run of limited edition 686 revolvers this year. These are a 5" half-lug design. They were issued to "Stocking Dealers". Most are gone, but here's one on gunbroker for now:

Great looking holster Xavier. The gun isn't too shabby either. Who made the holster?

5 inch barrels were very popullar around WWII and the 1950s. I consider it the neatest of the M&P configs and would suggest looking around for one of these old ones.
