They didn't call the Smith & Wesson Model 10 the
Military & Police model for nothing. Thousands of police officers used them, and army aircrewmen still carried them in 1985 when I left the service. I wasn't sure if that was a M10 in the picture because I haven't seen many. I only recall working on one in 5 years. My training on it consisted of looking at the action with the side plate removed and pulling the trigger a couple of times, then passing it to the next guy in the class.
The rest of the weapons I trained on took 8 weeks to learn. This is one I'm not an expert on.
