Really good. Really tight groups with 40 and 10. I love mine.

I have 2 no issues with either one. Both are reliable and shoot tight groups plus you don't have to chase your brass.

Great gun! One of my favorite revolvers, and it's nice to have a choice between 40/10mm at times. 3 7/8" barrel, has the non-fluted cylinder, installed the fiber optic sights. Perfect balance for me.
Had mine a couple years, probably 3-4000 match rounds thru it with ZERO malfunctions.

I have two of them 6.5" with lock and 3&7/8" with unfluted cyl.(no lock) I love them both. Only shoot 40s in mine. great revolvers.

Here is my 610 no dash that I had the cylinder reamed to take 10mm magnum. It is probably my favorite smith.

I have the 6" 610 non-fluted and like it a lot. Have only shot 40's out of it, but like the low recoil and feel of the gun itself.
For some reason it was piercing primers so I sent it back to the factory. They sent it back with a new firing pin. It still pierces 4% of the time. Dunno why.
Shoots tight groups and is easy to clean. Get yourself plenty of clips and a tool to make life easier when demooning. Don't buy cheap ones either as they will bend/deform.
Ammo is relatively inexpensive and plentiful, I reload anyway, you may not so that's something that becomes more attractive.

Believe it or not, they're Hogue.

10mm Magnum... now that's an interesting concept in a 610 and something you don't see every day. What kind of velocity do you get? Was the cylinder bored straight through for the conversion or will it hold individual cartridges?

I've got a -3, fluted cylinder in the 3 7/8" version. Never could get into non fluted cylinders on anything.
Love shooting mine since I put one of the Apex extra length firing pins in it. It's almost a chore keeping on top of the strain screw, it likes to loosen a bit with shooting and it's a fine line between surefire but too dang heavy for accuracy and too light to pop 'em with consistency.
Been thinking of getting it worked over for smoothing out, but it keeps gettin pushed to the back burner.

Kuhnhausen; Wolff springs.
More words:
get a buddy that knows his way around the N-frame, and take a lesson. In my case it was a sheriff-dept certified armorer...and the effort to learn really pays off....cause you probably got OTHER N-frames that would benefit from a little massage.

With the 10mm magnum I can get around 1400fps with the 180gr xtps. It is not drilled through, I can shoot the 10mm mag without moon clips. I had Clements custom do the conversion, cost about $100. I think it was worth the money, but I like things to be different

Major power, great accuracy and since I reload, I can recover 100% of the empty brass. When I shoot my autos I always lose some of my brass.

re: "I had Clements custom do the conversion,"
still need moons for the other calibers or did you get a separate cylinder?
accuracy?
And where does one find 10mm Mag brass these days?

I really enjoy all of my N frame SW revolvers but I would sell all but one- the 610. Versatility aplenty and ammo is plentiful for practice with the ability to use the 40 SW ammo. I have a 610 5" no dash that some guy traded to get a AR during the early Obama driven craze for semi-auto everything.
