S&W Model 610-3 10mm, 4", unfluted cylinder, with lock

[m4bgringo]

Well, I paid $1000 for my 6 1/2" version, non-fluted cylinder with lock, got it from the original owner. I know he made money off it, but I like the gun so I bought it. He had the high visibility front sight put on it, not sure if he still have the original ramp sight. It is also drilled and tapped for a scope mount.

I have this gun and a 625, use metal moon clips for both, and don't use tools to load or unload either. Need strong fingers though!

I plan on getting my Model 64 cut for moon clips too. I like them so much better than speed loaders!

Love mine!

I'll never sell this one.

I'll never sell this one.

After shooting mine, I said the same thing. I will NEVER sell this gun!

production period

Can anybody tell me until what year the 610-3 was produced and weather there are also 610 models produced after this period?

+1 610 Mountain Gun in a heart beat!

In the mean time I found out about the production period. The 610-3 is the last model that was produced I understand. Actually I recently bought one myself that has never been used.

Today I took mine from the arms dealer. Although I thought it had a 4" barrel it has a 3 7/8"barrel instead. Not that this is so important. So mine is a 610-3 unfluted with a 3 7/8" barrel and I love to take it to the range.

I just sent my original 610 down to Smith and Wesson to have the 6 inch barrel removed and a 3 and 7 eighths inch barrel installed. The total job cost a little less than 300 dollars including a rear sight replacement. I am extremely pleased with the work that was done and the gun itself. I will use this gun for IDPA competition.

IIRC, the 4 inchers are really 3 and 7 eights. The difference is negligible.

610

I have a 6 1/2" 610 with the unfluted cylinder and no lock.

I love mine. I use it for IDPA with .40 S&W loads.

I really like the look of those grips. Where did you get those?

I love the 610 it is on my must own list. I missed a good deal on a 6 inch a couple of years ago and I've been looking ever since. I will eventually have one and I will never let it go. I love the 10mm and since I already load for the 10mm and 40 the 610 is a perfect fit for me. I had to pass on a 5 inch first production 610 earlier this year. It was still new in the box but I didn't have $1250 or I would have snagged it up.
