S&W 10-5

[Major 2]

Older LEO's may appreciate this.... acquired a S&W Mod. 10-5 today, pretty good shape...

It was given to my nephew ( wife sister's boy )  He has wee one and didn't want it so he gave it to my BIL ...he in turned has passed it on to me 
Nice, though has holster wear and was stored for some time in a in the waist band leather ... so it has some freckling
I disassembled it tonight, for though cleaning and it's soaking now in EEZOX®

Bore & Cylinder are excellent, tight and will be good shooter  SS# date's it to 1969-70

I'll post a photo when it's presentable

Sounds like a great candidate for a PPC gun.

I don't shoot that discipline, but your probably right , 10's seem to be the gun of choice

That was actually my very first issued gun, although I didn't carry it for long--our department was transitioning to Glock 17s at that time.  I passed up on the chance to buy it when they retired it, but I didn't have the funds at the time: maybe $75-$100.

No rare beauty , just a good old honest wear service gun ... the holster came with it ( and need cleaning )
I use Ballistol on both the holster & grips ( which were dark )
EEZOX & a Frontier pad on the gun to clear the rust freckles....

nothing really to do for the worn blue
