The model 10 was literally the backbone of the S&W lineup. Most all of their revolvers can be traced back to the model 10. The 15 is little more than a 10 with adjustable sights. The 19 is a 357 Magnum version of the 15. You can see how the line progressed from the 10. The model 10 is still as viable to day as it was 40 years ago when most law enforcement officers carried one or something very similar. In my opinion the 10 is one gun every serious collector should have in their collection.
