That's a NICE model 28 S&W ! Was it converted to .38 WCF ? Never seen one in that caliber.
I've had one of the Ruger Buckeye Sports Specials in 38-40 / 10mm for a long time. Never clocked it for velocity, over a chrono, but it's a very accurate handgun. Yes. I had Al Seigrist rebore the barre and Alan Harton do the rest.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

The 10mm, to me, is intended to be used in a semi-auto. I can see no logical reason to have a 10mm revolver when the 41 Mag. is available (except....just because...and that's enough reason for a "gun nut").
Everyone seems to assume the Glock (which I dislike) or the Colt Delta (which I love) are the only options. One gun chambered in 10mm which I own and like is the EAA Witness. It is much lower in price to the Delta (which is why I don't own a Delta) and, to me, a better made gun than the Glock.
The Witness has the advantage of being able to be carried in singe action mode (cocked and locked) like a 1911, or in double action configuration (hammer down, double action). It is NOT a lightweight or small pistol, but I can handle it well even with my short fingers (particularly with the hammer back (cocked and locked).
Mine is very accurate and it is half the price of a 1911 in 10mm. It is even cheaper than the Glock and doesn't have a reputation of "blowing up" with heavy loads. Quite a nice gun for the money.
Look at the Witness and I think you will be impressed. Unless you are just hung up on the revolver idea, I believe the Witness is the way to go. If revolver is your goal....the >41 Mag. is a much better choice than the 10mm.

I have had just about every 10mm except the original Bren Ten. I had a Witness compact but he er could warm up to it. I have had the different S&W 1000 series guns and several 610s, various 1911s and Glocks and loved them all. It is time for a custom 10.

Sweet! Did you have the action job done and if so was it worth it?

pacecars Is that a 5 or 6 shot unit?? It would be faster if it take one moon clip for all the cylinders, but would you have to carry several loaded clips all the time? Other wise just do a 41 mag. with speed loader. I just kinda partial with BH in 41 and Glock 20, so have both bases covered. But neither is as nice. Cheers NC

If revolver is your goal....the >41 Mag. is a much better choice than the 10mm. I had several Witness pistols in 45 and 10mm before stepping up to the G20. They are good solid guns, but the magazines aren't that great, which really takes away from the gun's performance. Accuracy in both my 45's was good, but the 10mm was just so-so, nothing to brag about. In my experience, the Witness was no less prone to blowing out a case head than the G20. If you don't mind the weight, they are a reasonably good gun for the price, but they are definitely not on the same quality level as a Glock or a good 1911.

I had a 610 and a 25 that I carried occasionally and just carried a couple of loaded clips in my pocket with no problems.

Probably a Flattop. I need one in a .40. LCR's are perfect from the factory... Travis

I have no doubt that this won't be the last one I send him. Next on the list is a New Vaquero rechambered to 10mm and barrel cut to 4 inches and one of his S&W style rear sights and dovetail front sights installed.

The new Glock 40 looks interesting

yea, I've been halfheartedly looking for a G20L (longslide) for a few years. I haven't seen a G40 for sale yet, but soon... just picked up a 1076 to go with my G20, though...

After yesterday I realized life is too short. We had a call about a guy slumped over the steering wheel at an intersection and when the officer got on scene it turned out to be one of my dispatchers. He was only 43 which is 6 years younger than me. If the Glock G40 is available through Blue Label I am buying one too.
