Seeing all of these beautiful Smith and Wesson wheel guns brings me back to me Law Enforcement career. Started out on patrol carrying a Model 10 Smith in .38. About five years later we were transitioned over to Smith Model 66's (I think that was the model) stainless wheel guns in .357 Magnum. What an increase in firepower!!
From there the next change was to leave the wheel guns and get Smith Semi Autos in 9MM. I never liked those guns. Minimum killing power. Once I was elected High Sheriff I transitioned us over to Sigs, as they are a NH company and are what I consider the best handguns on the market. And with that little 6" no adjustable sights model 10 we had to qualify twice a year from the 50 yard line and shoot 12 rounds offhand strong hand, 12 rounds offhand left hand, 12 rounds right barricade and 12 rounds left barricade. Not easy.
