Just saw this at Redwolf, not sure of how new it is, as Tanaka likes to just randomly release guns...

Price = $129
For those of you who aren't familiar with this pistol it was used by over 80% of American law enforcement agencies from it's introduction up until the 9mm semiautos hit the scene in the 1980s.

I wish they will produce the heavy barrel version as well, and without zeke metal body, tanaka revolver is still too light

Looks okay, but the 4 inch barrel leads me to believe the accuracy and power will still be poor compared to your average GBBs and the 6-8 inch Tanakas.

Those grips look too skinny and ugly- any idea what frame type the M10 is?

[Catchv22]

It uses the old K-Frame back when the .38s were popular. I love the classic looking revolvers like the M&P 10, but I can't justify spending money on a pistol right now.

I hear you. To Hawaii it looks to be about 165 shipped for a pistol thats less accurate than an HFC Glock 26, lol. However I may be wrong, I am wondering if Tanaka has any new technology within this piece that may address the accuracy issues of their older models. I'd replace those skinny grips with some nice oversize rosewood grips ASAP.

[Catchv22]

I personally like round grips more like on the M13s. Oddly enough, the M13 clocks in at 200 fps at Redwolf but the M&P10 is at 320 fps... Also what is this 'Pegasus II' system I hear about every once in a while?

[snowman]

I think this looks great, but I have to stop buying Tanaka revolvers!

Accuracy may not be that bad as, presumably, this is based off the recent 19/66 model.

Pegasus II is an unofficial term used to describe gun with the new hop-up system and barrel/chamber engagement mechanism. Seems pretty accurate, at least on the long barreled 500.

Cheers.

Sorry to go off topic but that revolver reminds me of the one that was given to Talbert on the mini-series Band of Brothers. Anyone know what revolver was given to him before they loaded up for dday?




From what I can tell just by looks (given the poor angle) they look like the same pistol.

It probably was an M&P 10 as it was one of the most popular revolvers around, but there were many versions of it. Argh... This only makes me want it more...

[EvilCookie]

Heh yea I'm with you. If they had it, I want it

[skyler8158]

The extrator rod and grip panel lead me to believe it was a Colt Police Positive Special.

But it could be one of the many variants of the S&W M&P10

Any idea of this M10 is a K-frame round butt or square butt? I just sold my old M500's K-frame round butt rosewood cherry grips that would have looked awesome on this M10....

I really don't like those skinny grips because my hands are much better with the "normal" finger groove grips, like on the M65 and M66.

Anyway, as Snowman said, "Pegasus II" describes the design in the newer Tanaka revolvers, which includes adjustable hopup and a cylinder that aligns much better with the barrel and valve for a more accurate shot.

Several reviews have stated already though, that even with this new system, the 4 inch M66 continues to suffer from mediocre FPS and poor accuracy.

I really HOPE this M10 just isn't a prettier Colt Police Positive....that would upset me greatly. The M10 supposedly has adjustable hopup though, leading me to believe it belongs to one of the newer "Pegasus II" designs.

This kind of looks like Indiana Jones's gun from the Last Crusade....is it?

[skyler8158]

Almost postive it's not. Indy had a hing-framed revolver, probably a Webley of some sort. However the S&W could have been used in Raiders or the opening scene in Temple of Doom; but I haven't seen either in a few months.

Edit:

Raiders: S&W Hand Ejector 2nd Model
Temple of Doom: Colt M1917
Last Crusade: Webley Mark VI

Apparently the M10 is still in production. The new blackened steel with the Uncle Mikes rubber combat grip is suh-weet.....

If I were to get this gun, those skinny ugly uncomfortable grips would be the first to go. Skyler, you plan on picking up an M10 for review?

[skyler8158]

Very possible, as soon as I sell some other pistols and when WGC stocks it. Ever since I got my SAA, I've had an urge to buy up Tanaka's whole line up...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Redwolf has them in stock now though

Edit: Lol, we'll see if it sucks or not by next week--- I just ordered one for 155 shipped.

Edit2: Just ordered a pair of Uncle Mike's K-frame round butt rubber finger groove combat grips for the M10....38 shipped....someone stop me!

Good deal seth! Please give us some input on the pistol when you get it, would be appreciated . I'd get one but I'm worried the 4 inch barrel would make the pistol too inaccurate to skirmish with. That and the second I buy the 4 inch model, with my luck tanaka will release a 5 and 6 inch model.

[fal]

1.too lightweight.
2.no shells.

meh...

[Prometheus]

FUGLY! Eww!

But it is a Tanaka so I will give it that.
