I have a pre lock 610 that I enjoy shooting powder puff .40 swc’s from.

Yeah...but 6rnds vs the 686's 7rnds...

Cheaper 40 ammo is nice...but it comes at the cost of moon clips...

Meh

I would have been interested but now having both single and double action Rugers in 10mm, I don't see the 610 as stronger or more accurate. That said it is good to see S&W making it once again.

I agree with Saleen322, to little to late.

I remember pondering the prospects of converting a 610 (when they first came out) to .38-40. The cylinder was too short, and my wee little heart was broke. I would dearly love to have a modern revolver in .38-40 and one also in .44-40.

Our 10mm Ruger Blackhawk came with a 38-40 cylinder. I have to admit I shot the 38-40 very little. I think these were made for Buckeye sports and they still show up from time to time on Gun Broker.

Well.... dang it. I have been looking for an heirloom quality revolver to pass on and 10MM is pretty popular in my house.

G29 - this is the utility carry gun and could cover all CCW purposes and actually "useful" purposes of a 10MM

Colt Delta Elite - because everyone SHOULD own a Colt 1911

And apparently this because everyone SHOULD own a S+W revolver
