hi my name is rick and i went in to a gun shop the other day and thay have a smith and wesson 610 in 10mm with a 6 1/2 inch barrel for $650 i was hoping that you guys could tell me if that was a good deal or not i think its a good deal because thay dont make them any more but i just dont know so if any of you guys know then please post a reply and tell me and if any of you have any and want to show me some pics of it that would be great 2...........o and by the way the guns is mint

Welcome to the forum, someone will be along with the info.

I believe that would be an excellent price for any mint condition M610.

If it is pre-lock (M610, M610-1, or M610-2) it would be a fantastic deal.

They are highly desirable. If you don't buy it, someone here will!

To the best of my knowledge the 610 model is still made but the cost is upwards of $800, and these have the ILS. I attached the company link for reference. A 610 for $650 is good deal for a revolver in 95% + condition. This past spring I paid just over 700 for mine that has a 4" barrel and it was in 98% at the time of purchase. Double Tap makes the widest selection of full house ammo for the 10mm and the moon clips are about $1 a piece or less. Lots of fun shooting and for value target practice you can get 40S&W at a fair value. The N frame weight just knocks the 10mm recoil to nothing. Buy and enjoy!

The 610 was introduced in 1989 and discontinued in 1992 with a little over 4000 guns produced. These guns had a fluted cylinder. In 1998 they reintroduced the model again however this time the cylinder was unfluted. 3 or 4 years ago I sold a 4" late model gun for $850. However I think the sale prices have softened a little but the $650 price is still a good buy. Haggle with them, the price might get better!

Here's a pic of my 610 no dash made in Mar. of 1990. Very accurate and easy to shoot. Was only $430 OTD. Of course, that was many years ago.
Does the one your looking at include any moonclips?
Jim

no jim it does not come with any moon clips

There is one locally listed for $700. This dealer is known to price things fairly, not trying to get rich on every sale.

For 650, Grab it. My store prices the new ones around 900 or so.

If it's a pre-lock variant, you should have grabbed it already and then tell us what you grabbed and the price.

Nice find!

Sounds like a good price to me. Grab it up. Don't forget to post some pics when you get it.

That's, like, $100/inch! Buy it!
