Since the topic is 4" HB's here's mine again. I've got a few Model 10's. I twist their ear pretty good sometimes. They don't seem to mind.

Don't forget the stainless 64 4". Not as pretty as a polished blue 10, but it's OK. Bob I almost regret giving mine to my middle son.

This is my favorite stainless version, Model 64. It's the first one I recall seeing with the tapered barrel so I bought it. That's a handy tool right there. Like that a bunch.

The Model 10 and it's predecessor the M&P is a classic, not reason to reinvent the wheel. 158g SWC works well, no need to push the envelope. Typically on the ones I have and have shot you need to leave a bit more of the half nickle site about the notch to be on target. These things have been running for a very long time. They seldom break or have issues. I have an old Victory model as a truck bug out revolver.

After seeing all the guns posted here I've come to the conclusion that there isn't any such thing as a bad M 10.

I bought an old 4" Model 10 (I believe no dash) a long time ago. "The Warden" stole it - muttering something about "cold, dead fingers" IIRC She's figured out which end you hold. Rattlesnakes die. (Along with about anything she points it at)

pffft!
A modern K-frame Smith can easily handle any ammo being manufactured that's called .38 Spl.,...and handle *lots* of it.
A man will go broke trying to shoot enough of it to wear one out. I believe post -2 K frames have heat treated cylinders, which is the same metallergically as the magnum. Bill davis used to do a bunch of re-clambering to .357, but the cylinder is a little shorter so you're limited to 125gr. So, if someone wanted to load to .357 pressure in a late model K frame, they're good to go.
