Boorman, Dean K., The History of Smith & Wesson Firearms[alaline kõdulink] (2002), lk 46: "The .38 in Military and Police Model 10 has historically been the mainstay of the Smith & Wesson Company, with some 6,000,000 of this general type produced to date. It was the most commonly used police sidearm in the United States from the 1920s to the 1970s. It has been described as the most successful handgun of all time, and the most popular centerfire revolver of the 20th Century.">
