Get it, if you like the j-frame you will love this pistol.
I am seeking a model 12 with a 2 inch barrel. It's the same as the model 10 but with the alloy frame.
K-frame +'s, easier to shoot, stronger frame, normally a better trigger, more durable with constant shooting and +1 cartridge.

I remember that.
You are not alone. That scene makes me want another one everytime I see it.
model 66?

Yup. 66-1 to be exact.
There are three near perfect concealable carry revolvers. I've owned and/or shot all of them. They are, in order of size:
1. S&W 640, 642, 442. I prefer the non-.357 mag version in this gun.
2. Colt Detective Special or Agent. Just a little bigger than a J-frame for 1 more round in the cylinder.
3. S&W 66 in 3". Bigger than choice #1 or #2, but very shootable, even with .357 Mag rounds.
Choice #1 lacks positive full length case ejection with the rod. Less than a forceful punch on its rod may leave a fired case stuck between the bottom of the star and the cylinder body.
The Mod. 10 would fall in between my choices #2 & #3. I do think I'd rather have the 3" vs the 2" barrel for the very slight gain in weight.

Find a 13 3" round butt.
The 10 is considerably heavier than the Airweight J's, but it is easier to shoot well for normal people (sorry GED!).
Or, find yourself a 2 3/4" Speed Six, shoot .357s, and still never worry about wearing it out.

A fellow I worked for a few years back had a S&W M12, 2 inch snubby. I tried & tried to talk him out of it, but to no avail. That was a sweet revolver!
Are you still looking for one? I have a model 686, 2 3/4" barrel, .357mag. It can also handle the .38 spl and .38+P round. Stainless with Houge grips and a red ramp front sight - 6 shot.
You interested?
