A friend sent me a picture of an older S&W revolver 4". In all the pics of the barrel from either side, the last 1/2" looks as if it has been tapered to go in a very little. If you can picture what I mean have you ever heard of this. I think it is a model 10 from around ww2

The tapered barrel is not unusual on the Model 10s.

Or could be advanced holster wear from an ill fitting holster. We need pictures.
Historical Note - Until the 1950's all M&Ps had the taper bbl , and it wasn't until circa 1980 that the heavy bbl became more common , with taper bbls still offered until nearly the end .

Worst case it could be a bulged barrel, though not likely. Need pics.
