sassnetguy50 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 An email came today advertising police trade in 10-5 or 10-7 for $418 shipped each plus tax. As @Dubious Don #56333 said, they used to be $100. What does a user grade model 10 currently sell for in your area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I paid $600 for this one, it’s a Cleveland Police Commemorative, it was unfired until I got my mitts on it! Great shooter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Since the standard barrel lengths were 2 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch, and 6 inch, those 3 inch barreled guns might be considered "rare", and therefore they use that to justify that ungodly outrageous price.

DeaconKC Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 3" K frames are desirable because they still have a full length ejector rod so you can kick the empties out easier than the stubby rods found on the 2 and 2 1/2" guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shooter! I would have paid that for it. Nice revolver. Love the inscription. ——————————— I would say today that “user grade” model 10s are around $650-$700 on average wherever I see them. I have seen a couple in the past year at $500-$550. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it allow you to buy it? A while back I found out about Glock mags at a decent price on Gun Mag Whse. It would let me put them in the cart but I couldn’t actually buy them. I figured the problem was with my phone or connection so I logged out. When I came back they appeared as “Out of Stock”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was $500obo, I offered $475 and he accepted. It was listed in the local classifieds. The model 10 came to $448 for me after shipping and taxes without transfer fee. It is 4" not the 3" barrel like the model 10. What does "mol" mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if it was a known internet dealer. There used to be a good classifieds in the local paper, Tampa Bay Times, years ago. Problem was that they got more and more liberal and then graduated from just being a socialist paper to being a Communist propaganda paper and lost most of their readers...thereby the people that place the classified ads. Got a few good deals back in the day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Maverick Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I have my model 67 that I carried when working at Moore, OK PD. The cylinders were reamed out by the PD gunsmith so it would take 357 loads. I carried if for about 12 years between Moore, OK PD and Denver, CO PD. It is now safely kept in my gun safe. I don't have a clue what it is worth today. It is in like new condition. I don't think it will ever be up for sale either. My daughter has said she wants it in the future.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 My 10-5, made in 1969. There are some blemishes on the cylinder blueing, but is mechanically flawless. Looks like it wasn’t shot much and spent its life in a holster. Perhaps an LEO carried it. Got in 2019 at the big gun show in Tulsa for $375.

I have had an itch for a .38 K frame with a 6” barrel as well as a Ruger DA in either a Redhawk (.357 or .45 Colt) a short barreled GP100 .357 or one of the older “Six” guns. They are part of my list. I am not picky about which I get. Hell, I’m flakier than a snowstorm when it comes to guns and what I fancy. All it takes is a pretty face (cool gun) and I am off in another direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassnetguy50 Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 There is no such thing as too many 38/357 rollers. Are the 6" K frame 38s rarer than the 3"? I rarely see one around here other than the competition model Target Masterpiece 38s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely see one around here other than the competition model Target Masterpiece 38s. I think at one time 6” .38s were very popular but then 4” barrels seem to have become more popular. Probably when most police forces went to .357 Magnums the manufacturing of the longer .38s just weren’t as popular. That is just a guess on my part. I do think the 3” are rarer than the 6”. I think the 8 3/8” are rarer still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The move away from 5&6" barrels as Police guns was because of getting in and out of cars. The 4" barrel in a holster is far easier for entry and exit in just about any type of holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 The RCMP up here in Canada carried 5 inch guns for many years... They had police ammo loaded with 158 gr. SWC bullets that gave a honest 1,040 Fps. out of their Guns... Dominion Loaded the ammo ... Jabez Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
