Old S&W

Think they call this a Pre-10
I don't follow the S&W speak very much

It's a square butt 2 inch Smith and Wesson Military and Police Model. The Tyler T-Grip only makes it better!

Nice! The only difference I see between it, & my Model 10-7 is the front sight.

Nice older S&W! Love the square butt Smiths. Thanks for sharing.

Based on the hammer on the OP's revolver, it appears it may have the older "long" action. Personally, I much prefer that action to the one currently used especial when shooting in double action mode.

Yep, it's called that because it was manufactured before they started giving them model numbers. Looks like it is in great shape.

I was so focused on the front sight I flat out missed the different hammer.

I think that hammer was the optional "humpback" speed hammer that was offered in the 1930s.

I'll have to dig out my SCSW and see if I can date it by s/n.
