Design and Build

The blued finish gives the SMITH & WESSON 10-5 a traditional appearance while offering corrosion resistance when cared for. As a double-action revolver, it provides the option of firing in single-action for a lighter trigger pull or double-action for quick follow-up shots. The compact, robust frame and fixed sights make it an approachable defensive handgun with fewer points of failure compared to semi-automatic designs.

Caliber and Performance

.38 Special remains a practical defensive caliber: manageable recoil, good accuracy from short barrels, and wide ammunition availability. For defensive scenarios, selecting modern hollow-point defensive loads delivers controlled expansion and effective terminal performance while maintaining shootability for rapid, accurate follow-up shots.

Handling, Maintenance, and Practical Use

The straight-forward mechanics of the SMITH & WESSON 10-5 simplify maintenance—clean the barrel and cylinder face, lightly lubricate the action, and routinely inspect the forcing cone and timing. For duty or home defense use, train with the same weight and grip you plan to carry; revolvers reward consistent presentation and trigger control.
