Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 10, previously known as the Smith & Wesson .38 Hand Ejector Model of 1899, is a six-shot, double-action revolver that uses .38 Special ammunition and has fixed sights. The revolver has been in production since 1899 and is highly popular worldwide. It is available in different barrel lengths ranging from 2 inches to 6 inches, with some special contracts having 2.5-inch barrels. The revolver has been produced over the years with more than 6,000,000 units sold, making it the most-produced handgun of the 20th century.
In 1899, the United States Army and Navy placed orders with Smith & Wesson for two to three thousand Model 1899 Hand Ejector revolvers chambered for the M1892 .38 Long Colt U.S. Service Cartridge. With this order, the Hand Ejector Model became known as the .38 Military and Police model. That same year, in response to reports from military sources serving in the Philippines on the relative ineffectiveness of the new cartridge, Smith & Wesson began offering the Military & Police in a new chambering, .38 S&W Special (a.k.a. .38 Special), a slightly elongated version of the .38 Long Colt cartridge with greater bullet weight (158 grains) and powder charge increased from 18 to 21 grains of gunpowder.
