Bit of an update. I finally got around to shooting my Model 10 after 4 months: sometimes life gets in the way of guns.
I'll be to the point: this revolver is a shooter. The grip feels great, the single action trigger is nice and VERY light, and the fixed sights are dead on with 158 gr semi-wadcutters. Hitting 20 oz Coke bottles at ~25 yards was trivial, and hitting them again on their sides wasn't too much of a challenge.
This Smith is a lot of gun for $269. Rossis start at around $300 these days, and I haven't seen a Rossi that shot this well right out of the box. If anyone else here was on the fence about buying (another?) Model 10, I would wholeheartedly encourage it.
