Or get some RIMZ plastic ones. They are sold in bulk.
Also if you want some 610 clips, email me. I accidently bought 8 packs of 8 when I only wanted 8 more (I already had about 100) so I have bunch that are unopened in the pack.

By the way. A bunch of you have spoken up for the clips. I am just giving them away as I have too much stuff on my hands to worry about getting paid for it. I just ask when you get yours, please mail me back a few bucks to cover shipping. I hate to think I have to spend money just to clean out my house.
These are Ranchproducts, steel 10mm full moon clips for 610's in the original package. 8 to a pack and I have 8 packs. "semi-free to a good home for 610s".
Consider it my gift to other 610 shooters.
Just PM me and let me know how many you want. I have 8 packs of 8 each. At least 4 of you have PMed me, so first come first served.
Enjoy your 610's. I shot mine yesterday and it was a "blast". Love that gun.
Oh and I still have about 120 clips thus I am not going to ever use these ones.

I PM about not being greedy and one pack, but if you have them to spare send a couple packs.

Enjoy and take care.

The 610 is the reason that I can walk by any full size .357 and not take it with me! I have a 4" first run and I have boxes of .40SW and Double Tap 10mm. Carries well, shoot great, and the Ranch clips can be unloaded by hand without too much trouble.

Looks like I missed out again by sending the PM to wrong person, it's hell getting to be an old fart.
Tell you - I couldn't believe how dirty this revolver came in from the factory THIS IS A NEW REVOLVER straight from the factory -
It took me a good 1/2 hour to clean her up from the factory fired case ...
But, it is one very sweet revolver so much so that I just bought the 625 .45acp companion (new in box) not the JM model but the original 625 with hogue grips - it's on the way ...
Also, picked up a DW BobTail 10mm commander brand new in box-

I have seen that even on NIB guns that S&W apparently tested prior to shipping. I am not sure of the ammo they used but closest thing I have seen to it in my 610-3 is Blue Dot. So I only use BD for the auto's now, but I don't shoot the S&W 1086, the G-29 some (but it messes up cases), but mainly only shoot the revolvers. At my age I hate picking up the brass, too hard on the old joints.
This is/was a new pistol from the factory - supposedly one fired case but from the looks at how dirty it was I believe it was fired a more and every hole in the cylinder showed it was fired so although they say one fired case - they fire these more...
Now is the reason for this sighting in ...?

I guess it could be several things, random quality and sighting checks, it faild first QA for some reason and redone and retested. Who knows, maybe they had too much 10 mm ammo and shot up some. If me I would use every excuse to pop rounds off.This is/was a new pistol from the factory - supposedly one fired case but from the looks at how dirty it was I believe it was fired a more and every hole in the cylinder showed it was fired so although they say one fired case - they fire these more...

If you start introducing the younger generation to the joys of the shooting sports you can solve this problem. When you take the youngling to the range to teach him/her to shoot you also teach them that picking up all the brass is part of the ritual.
I shoot every Sunday, I have 6 shooters that I mentor, one or more alwasys show up.
At a minimum, three rounds are fired from every new S&W that leaves the factory. One case now gets sealed into that silly envelope for Maryland. One used to be a proof load, not sure if they still do that for all revolvers but they do continue that practice for the X-frames.This is/was a new pistol from the factory - supposedly one fired case but from the looks at how dirty it was I believe it was fired a more and every hole in the cylinder showed it was fired so although they say one fired case - they fire these more...

If whomever is doing the test firing decides more rounds need to be fired, more are fired. Sometimes the revolver does not get shipped, it goes back to production. Once whatever the testing person found is corrected, it would be fired a minimum of three more times, etc, etc.

I'm looking forward to it, but mine are only 1.4 and 4.5 years old and I am a tired 64 to say the least raising then full time. Sure makes me wish I was 50 again.
