Probably not the class of a S&W, but a fine shooter at $325.<BR/><BR/>AndyJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1136582256619493432006-01-06T16:17:00.000-05:002006-01-06T16:17:00.000-05:00The other question might be what is the velocity d...The other question might be what is the velocity drop off on a 4" or a 3" barrel. If you are in the same muzzle velocity class as the 40S&W in a 3" or 4" why bother with the 610?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1136582012561589132006-01-06T16:13:00.000-05:002006-01-06T16:13:00.000-05:00I've heard that the 610 headspaces the 10mm on the...I've heard that the 610 headspaces the 10mm on the cylinder, and not the moon clip. That means that there is a rim and a bit of freebore (correct term?) for the .40 S&W where lead 'n stuff can build up. Might only be a problem if you swap between 10mm and 40S&W w/o cleaning. I'll bet the freebore jump does not help accuracy, but anyplace that it really matters (deer hunting, match...) I would be handloading anyway. Neither of us want the 6.5" version too much anyway.<BR/><BR/>Never seen one up close tho..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1136581308401977692006-01-06T16:01:00.000-05:002006-01-06T16:01:00.000-05:00I grow increasingly jealous of your fine collectio...I grow increasingly jealous of your fine collection of S&W's, Tam.

The Thunder Ranch 22 I handled at CCA the other night is nifty, but I want a shooter rather than a looker. <BR/><BR/>My second choice might even be the 610 if it shoots .40 well. They're running about $700 over at Gunbroker, and I imagine they'll hold their value pretty well. I'm only interested in the 4 inch and under barrels.Les Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389811940518627023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1136577203962376402006-01-06T14:53:00.000-05:002006-01-06T14:53:00.000-05:00Assuming I can find one, what's the going rate for...Assuming I can find one, what's the going rate for a S&W 610?<BR/><BR/>(my understanding is that the 610 is a 10mm on a N-frame, which will also take 40 S&W in a pinch 6.5,4, and 3" from the factory)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1136564861841955402006-01-06T11:27:00.000-05:002006-01-06T11:27:00.000-05:00I have a 625-4 with silverwood grips.
