Smith & Wesson built the Military & Police, the model 10 as a Service Weapon for the US Military and Police forces. This would be designed to be a daily carry sidearm for MP and Police officers, and was very popular within New York City and other large City departments. The revolver features a 4 inch tapered barrel, with fixed sights. This gun is Ex NYPD, on the backstrap there is a number stamped 1408. We have been educated by a Collector in these Firearms that this is a designation that the NYPD did on their sidearms to number them, for the officers.
