    Oh, don't do the Goodyears! Go old-school cool with some Magna grips!

    I am sure I have a set someplace upstairs, with a Safariland rig to match. Wear that as you hold roll call, and stare down all the new folks.

    Magna's and Tyler "T" grip were the trick set up here.

    If you were actually carrying concealed, the wood grips wouldn't hang up on clothing or print like the Pach's.

    When I picked up my first revolver - a 4" model 19 - it came with the Pac combat grips. It's a sexy workhorse. I might post a pic just for fun.

    Also, btw. Could you explain to a noob like me the wax under the grips idea?

    Wax under the grips is probably to prevent corosion or rust. Would be my assumption at least.

    I do kind of want one of these six guns, but I am not sure what these filll tgat my Colt Police doesn't in my collection. And the Colt was cheaper. lol.

    Kain already nailed it, but yes, the reason we want to wax under the grips of steel pistols is to prevent rust. While this might not be an issue for guys who have weapons living in a climate controlled safe, for cops who are out in the weather, especially with the rain in the PNW, wax is there because it needs extra protection in areas which aren't wiped down or can't dry easily.

    New to me Model 10-7. Being a 10-7, it was probably made in 1977. I've not yet pulled this one apart, but have rang some steel with it, and it is a joy to fire.

    Model 10 Engineering and Production Changes Timeline

    10 (1957): begin stamping model number.
    10-1 (1959): introduction of heavy barrel (the frame is slightly different for the heavy barrel, and changes to the standard-barrel variant were generally carried over to the heavy-barrel variant, thus the engineering changes happen in pairs)
    10-2 (1961): change extractor rod thread for standard barrel
    10-3 (1961): change extractor rod thread for heavy barrel, change front sight width from 1/10" to 1/8"
    10-4 (1962): eliminate trigger-guard screw on standard barrel frame
    10-5 (1962): change sight width from 1/10 in to 1/8 in for standard barrel
    10-6 (1962): eliminate trigger-guard screw on heavy-barrel frame
    10-7 (1977): change gas ring from yoke to cylinder for standard barrel
    10-8 (1977): change gas ring from yoke to cylinder for heavy barrel
    10-9 (1988): new yoke retention system, radius stud package, floating hand hammer nose bushing for standard barrel
    10-10 (1988): new yoke retention system, radius stud package, floating hand hammer nose bushing for heavy barrel
    10-11 (1997): MIM hammer/trigger + floating firing pin for standard barrel
    10-12 (1997): MIM hammer/trigger + floating firing pin for heavy barrel
    10-13 (2002): limited production 1899 commemorative edition

    It is hard to argue them, especially with low prices.

    If you paid under $200-250 for your Colts, and it is a similar style pistol to these, you did exceedingly well and I would love to hear what models you have and what you paid.
