Howdy folks... got a question for you all.
I have in my possession an old S&W model 10-6 revolver, blue, 6" bull barrel, K-frame. It's in nice shape. My brother bought it for around $250 a few years back and left it with me when he moved since I'm the only other person in our family who enjoys centerfire handguns.
The thing about this particular gun is that I've noticed it's surprisingly accurate. That is to say, I can shoot it at 30-50 yard targets and actually hit them consistently. I can't hit a thing with a .22 pistol at any distance, a .25 pocket pistol (no surprise there, huh?), or a .32 S&W long revolver. Just can't shoot those well. This particular revolver and I just go WELL together.
What I'm interested in doing is installing a scope on it. My eyes aren't great and I have a difficult time using iron sights on anything. I'd like to equip this gun for some more precise shooting, if possible.
I'm curious to hear if there are any methods to do this. I know it's fairly simple to drill and tap a rifle for a mount but I'm unsure about handguns.
The back sight is a fixed sight so any product that works by replacing that is out.
(In the past, I've had success with a lucky red dot scope on a .22 target pistol, pellet pistol, and even a slug shotgun. It seems to go well on anything. Maybe even this.)
