The Smith & Wesson Military & Police 10 (often abbreviated) is a revolver known for its chambering in .38 Special, and its widespread use by law enforcement and civilians alike. This model typically features a K-frame, and variations exist with different barrel lengths and finishes. An example would be a blued steel model with a four-inch barrel.
Its popularity stems from a combination of reliability, simplicity, and manageable recoil. Introduced in the late 19th century, this firearm has seen service through two World Wars and countless other conflicts and remains a relevant and readily available option for personal defense and target shooting. Its historical significance, coupled with continued production, speaks to its enduring design.
