Many of the S&W Military & Police revolvers were captured and used by some of the police forces, such as the Austrian Police, during the occupation after World War II. It is incorrect to refer to them as "Model 10" as the model number was not introduced by Smith & Wesson until 1957. It should be noted that during World War I, copies (slightly undersized) of the Military and Police were produced in Eibar and Guernica (Spain), in 8 mm 1892 caliber for the French armies; The policeman rightfully occupies such a copy.

The weapon is currently used by French collectors and banks disciplined by Hong Kong Services, Myanmar police force officers and other Burmese paramilitary forces, the Peruvian National Police and other police units.
