Thanks for all the encouraging information. I'm also considering a S&W mod 64 or mod 67 which I think is simply a stainless steel version of the model 10 as btg3 pointed out earlier. I believe that the only difference between the 64 and 67 is the 67 has adjustable sights. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this. Does anybody have any comments or recommendations about the differences between the Mod 10, 64, and 67? Once again, I appreciate all the responses and place value on all of them.
