Picked Up Another 10mm

[diggler1833]

This is a Jan-Feb 1990 made S&W 610 (no dash). Came across a like new Wilson Combat in December and picked it up. It happened to be in 10mm as well...and I wanted a second gun in that cartridge before I shelled out (pun intended) on reloading supplies and dies.

This one came without the box, paperwork, or any moon clips, but considering what they're going for these days I'm glad to spare the additional 20% cost right now. It did come with the original combat grips which look to have a home gunsmith refinish on them (no chips/cracks). I had some Culinas sitting on a safe with no home, so they're on this gun for now while I fix the kitchen table gunsmith problem.

Pardon the cell phone pics.

Nice. That can shoot 40sw too right?

 

[OHJEEZE]

Nice!

Looks like a 7 incher!

I like the 10mm, but in a revolver it dont do much for me.

But...... I would not shy away from one if it was priced at the 1990 price!

Beautiful pistol! I think you’ll find that 10mm is an easy round to load.

Yes. Moon clips are required for that though.

The first 610 that I got was a 5" back in 1990 and it came out of my dealer's stock. I have put about 1000 rounds through it and have been looking off-and-on for one in 4" ever since I got the 5".

A couple of years or so ago, S&W started to make the 610 again and I found one online in a gun shop in Rhode Island of all places. I picked it up and really liked it a bunch. The action is smooth right out of the box, and I am pretty accurate with it.

When I took his revolver class in Phoenix that November, Grant Cunningham suggested that I make the 4" 610 my EDC. As soon as I get myself situated, I intend to do a lot of shooting with the 610, and when I feel that I am ready, I'll do just that.

Here is a picture of mine.
