Waiting for the next 610 reissue for the 10mm and 40sw capacity. Just putting it out there.

There was a 6-shot .40S&W L-frame - the Model 646. No reason the slightly longer 10mm cartridge couldn't also fit in an L-frame cylinder, but it IS a higher-pressure cartridge -- 37,500 psi for 10mm, vs. 35,000 psi for .40S&W, according to Wikipedia (interestingly, .357 Magnum is also spec'ed at 35,000 psi according to Wikipedia, and of course there are L-frames in .357 Magnum -- the 386, 581, 586, 619, 620, 681, and 686).

While I do have a Model 610(-3), I'd also love to see the 610 reissued (again).
 
Got six 610 S&W revolvers, non with a lock! Would love to pick up more. Can't get enough of them.

My 610-5 is 3-7/16 with Precision fiber optic sights that fits my hand (and eye) perfectly.

It's one of my 2 favorite revolvers for ICORE and Steel Challenge.

Using the 10mm loads it destroys pins.
 
Love the 610 and like the idea of a smaller framed version as well, especially if it's a scandium frame.

A 310 with a 4" barrel would be awesome.
