Let's see your 610 revolver!

Here's a picture of my newest 610 beneath an older 625.  Both are fantastic handguns.



Sorry these are such poor pics.

I've been trying to get a 4" non-keyed for under $1000 for about s year without any luck.

Beautiful guns.

ahoss, that's a really nice-looking 610.

Here are my two 610's together.  A [bottom] 3" bbl. Lew Horton Distributors 610.



I understand, only 300 of this series was made.

The coveted 3" Model 610...
How sweet is that?

[Zephyr]

Shadow, when I bought the 'Lew Horton'.  I didn't realize, that there was anything 'special' about the big snubbie other than, the 10mm chambering.  So I bought the revolver from an enthusiast's point-of-view.  The guy behind the counter thought it would make "a very nice paperweight".  It seems like I always score good guns by buying what I like.  The same can be said for my Dan Wesson Razorback.

Zephyr, I would hang on to that 3".  The last couple that I've seen on GB had "buy it now" prices over 2k and both were bought using that option.  I also saw that the last one on there never reached the reserve, but I believe that I know the person who did end up buying it and they were talking of paying over $2500.  Not 100% that the deal went through and exactly how much they paid, but I never saw it come up again.

ahoss, I knew that the 610's were going for around 1K the last time I checked.  But, I had no idea they were commanding prices in the insane 2k range!   I bought both of these for less than $800 USD, brand new.  S&W would be well-advised to to do another run of these revolvers perhaps 500 to start out.  I don't think they will ever do any more 10xx-series automatics though.  Your right, I plan on holding on to my 'snubbie'.  The 4" is the perfect 'field gun' despite the integral-lock.  A guy on the Smith Forum sells/manufactures plugs for these.  Capitalism is a 'strange thing', shortage still drives price and some will pay any amount to get what they want.

610 no dash, 5" barrel.  There is a nice 4" on Gunbroker now.

BillR, very nice 610!

Wow that 3" model is just cool. I didn't know they made those. Definitely hold on to it.
