Originally introduced in 1899 as the Smith & Wesson .38 Hand Ejector, the Model 10 has undergone numerous updates over the decades, eventually earning a reputation as the quintessential service revolver. The Model 10-8 variant represents one of the later evolutionary stages of the design, retaining the same dependable K-frame platform while incorporating minor mechanical refinements. Known variously as the Military & Police Model and even the Victory Model during wartime production, this revolver was adopted by countless police departments and military forces worldwide. With over six million units produced, it holds the distinction of being the most popular handgun of the 20th century—a testament to its reliability, simplicity, and enduring functionality. The Model 10-8 remains a treasured piece among collectors and enthusiasts, capturing the essence of the American service revolver legacy.
