OK. There's got to be a story to go along with it!

Now for the back story on my 19-3 snub.

The father in law of my wife's best friend, Dick Morris, was a former Pottawattomi county sheriff's deputy. Being a lawman too, he and I swapped more war stories than anybody could imagine. He carried this little feller everyday for years and years as his sidearm until he retired back in 1997. If it could talk, I'm sure it would probably tell the same stories, but with more truth. Anyway, before Dickie passed back in 2015, he presented it to me and I was so proud to receive it. Along with dad's revolver, these are two of my most prized possessions.

I like them both! As they say, "priceless"

Hope I’m not hi jacking. I’ve looked and looked on google but can’t find any info on a model 104 (on the yoke) with a serial # BE 78xxx What is the BE designation?? and any idea of a date of birth?

Rick, text me some pics if you can. It’s either a 10-4 or a pre model 10 and you’re looking at a serial or build numbers.
Or send the the number on the bottom of the grip frame. That is the true serial number

It's not really "out of the box" anymore but this old S&W Model 10 sure is fun to shoot!

1963 S&W Model 12-2 with contemporary Tyler T-Grip. It shows what my brother-in-law calls "good honest wear." It is one of my EDCs loaded with Winchester "Defend" 130 grain JHP standard pressure loads.
