My XDM holds 15 and my Banshee factory mag holds 30. But even the 1006 with 9+1 is a step up from the revolver. (Yes, I know. Weight too).
Did I mention I REALLY like 10mm?

Understood about the Glock thing.
When I decided to buy a 10mm a poly striker fired gun was high on my priority list. With the spectre of buying a Glock looming
I was happy to learn of the XDM and even happier when I liked it.

I stuck with my 1911a1 in 45acp through thick and thin in the past many decades when new auto pistol calibers came and died by the caliber grave yard. Way too many to mention.
Now it’s been said the 10 mm is equal to the 41 mag, I believe it’s not, I don’t like using moon clips anyhoo.
Now isn’t the time to consider adding another new to me caliber anyhoo.
But I’d like to jump ship and get a ruger bh in 45 LC I have others in 45 lc.
When I first shot my m58/41 mag, do you remember your very first kiss.? Lol
How many rounds do we really need? I post some real shootout videos but I’d get banned.

The 10 mm is hardly the equal of the .41 Magnum, .357 Magnum is more like it.
Still, some smart, experienced people are converting to it for woods carry.

Roll your own. I stocked up on .41 mag components a few months back. Much of it from this forum.
And no, you don't need a 610 if you've got a .41 magnum, other than if your sole intent is to shoot 10mm (semi-auto ammo) from a revolver.

The 10mm gives you better than 45+P velocities ( and with even more room to stretch its legs ) and it does it with more efficient, sectionally denser bullets.
Nice shorter barreled pre-lock unfluted 610, eventually I'd like to acquire one.
My 57 nickeled 6" 41 Magnum is nice but I'd rather have a M58, or M57 4", or M657 4", or a 41 Magnum Mountain Gun. The 6" would be great for hunting but I don't hunt.
I'd like to add a 610 4" pre-lock unfluted as 'jughed440' shows.
I reload 10mm/40S&W so I can reload to mild levels as 'pistol cycling' isn't required with a revolver. Sort of like 38 special in a 357 Magnum revolver.

Send the cylinder out to Mark at Pinnacle Precision and you'll have a 10mm. Magnum the equivalent of the .41 Mag.
I did.

IT"S GREAT..........Because I like it.
I'm not saying one way or another except that if you want a 10, get the 10.
As for myself, I don't have a need or want for one. I have a number of 357's, 45 colts and 44 magnums plus I hand-load. As I can power up and down as I please, the many niches in between like 9mm, .41's, 10mm, get sort of overshadowed. I don't use things like 38 specials in my 357's. I have 38's for those. I do use speed loaders so moon-clips, I don't know. I'm not sure if it matters that much at my age. If I were to add something to my line-up, I would probably get a 460. I'd keep standard loadings for the 460 but power down for the 454 or 45 Colt equivalents using 460 shells.
I would however like a 1911 in 10mm. I have 45 ACPs and 9mms. I like single stacks so I'd be in it for the power factor over the 45 and not so much carrying capacities. 99.9% of our wildlife isn't armor plated including the bears. There is however the slim possibility of a moose.

...435 grains...isn't that enough? Only gun I can think of that typically has a heavier load is a .458 Winchester...ever shoot one...you don't want to....
A good pump action shotgun is a) cheap b) rugged c) points fast d) compact...and when the bear is within "feet" do you really think anyone uses their sights...

Well Plink, did you end up getting it? You never responded on which iteration of the 610 it was or the asking price. I’ve been following some 610s as well as other 10mm revolvers on GB lately because I’d like to add one to the stable and convert it to 10mm Magnum. Of three recently completed auctions, all revolvers being in very good condition and with box, tools, and paperwork here are the results:
Revolver 1: 610 no dash 6.5” (original run) went for $1576
1991 Smith & Wesson 610 NO DASH 10mm Stainless 6.5" *1 OF 4,560 EVER MADE* - Revolvers at GunBroker.com : 891489988
Revolver 2: 610-1 6.5” MIM parts, pre-lock went for $1341
Pre Lock Smith and Wesson 610-1 Classic 10mm Auto 6” BBL w/ Blue Case - Revolvers at GunBroker.com : 892818497

The 10mm round is a good cartridge, but it's not the equivalent of the .41 mag. It's the equivalent of the .357 mag.
The 10mm Magnum, which Tex was referring to, is darn close.
