I am fortunate to have both and though a favorite may be a little hard to choose, the . 44 magnum would have a slight edge.

The fact that I reload gives me the opportunity to provide ammo that fits the occasion, hunting, range time or plinking. The 610, as I am sure you know can handle the 10mm or the .40 caliber so, you have a choice of ammo with this one as well.

For barrel length on the .44 magnum, a 4 inch may be the best but, for all around use, a 6 or 6.5" inch brings out all this round has to offer.
