Lipsey’s S&W Model 610 10mm

Anyone waiting on a Lipsey S&W?
I've been looking for dealer's in Las Vegas who are distributors for Lipsey's S&W revolvers without the hammer lock. Tho several are listed, the only dealer who would help me order one is Spartan Arms. They contacted S&W who related they were not in production yet, but would take orders from authorized dealers. The only bummer was I had to pay full price and it could arrive a few months or as long as 18 months. I was thru this before during the Obama era waiting for a S&W AR10. That took 6 months.

I bought the only one I found on Gunbroker and paid msrp. I haven't shot it yet as it just came in.

Is this the mountain gun? I have a 4" 610 and find it to be quite excellent. A MG would be exquisite.

Careful with new mountain gun 610s as the gold dot front sight went flying after first 5 cylinders. Unacceptable for $1200 pistol. Called S&W for replacement over a month ago and asked why they did' nt use loc-tite? Guy said they were afraid loc-tite would get " somewhere it didnt belong". Speaks volumes about their assemblers…….

Yes. It is the Mountain Gun, 6 1/2-inch tapered (mountain) barrel. I have 4-inch Model 610 I picked up in Anchorage about 5 years ago. Nice piece. I like the moon-clip setup.

If you bought any nib firearms during the late 1970's or early 1980's, you'd know firearms in need of tlc or even finishing isn't new.

As I mentioned in my initial post, I've waited for guns before. Worst case scenario, I'll send it back for service. I made the mistake of selling off a 629 with the unfluted cylinder after S&W serviced (and corrected the problem) refacing the cylinder front. Everytime I look at the case it came in, I kick myself.
