I have seen two Model 10s that went to the NYSP. They are virtually identical to the Model 10s in .38 Special except for the recessed cylinder.
Supposedly the topstrap on the Model 13 was slightly strengthened (I guess thickened) based on the NYSP's experience with the guns.
There was also a limited number of Model 10s made in 9mm, and a limited number of Model 13s made in.... .38 Special for a Thai police order.
Why they didn't just order Model 10s...
