Interesting. Would be in for a 6.5" version if true.

Both were shown as out of stock 6.5 and 4.125

I'd honestly be happier if they'd crank out an M&P in 10mm. All three links from the buy now button on the S&W website show it out of stock. Maybe they're counting clicks and making up their mind.

Gunblast was showing them off today. Back in production!

As much as I like 10mm for $1000 I'd be looking at a Dan Wesson 715 when it comes to a revolver.

Nice!

Let's hope Bud's has the real street price. I wasn't really in at $1000, but $766-$789 looks much better.

Same price for both barrel lengths? I'll take a 6.5 inch one please.

While I don't dislike the idea of a 610, I already own the nice S&W Mountain Gun 629-4 4" 44mag pre-lock/pre-mim that only weighs 39oz vs 42+ for the 610.  I can easily load from under 700ft lbs to levels that SMOKE the best 10mm can offer.  Price used for my superior .44 is about the same as these new and there is no way I would get talked into trading for one.

I see these for someone who does not want to exceed the power level of the 10mm and wants the multiple platforms possible.  Who else would NEED one?

Personally, I'll take the Ruger GP100 MC in 10mm. Having shot both brands back to back in 357, I prefer the Ruger. Might as well save some $$$.

...at least they saw the writing on the wall and decided that maybe Ruger shouldn't be making all the money they could have been making on calibers that they have abandon....  Maybe they will smarten up and start producing a .41 Magnum L-frame like the 69 and some .327 J and K-frames....

...well one can hope can't one...

But as long as they have "the hole" my revolver money goes to Ruger....

There is no doubt I will be buying one of the 6.5" models.

The Rugers are great guns but they are not nearly as refined as the Smith pistols even with a nice action job.

I have held the Smith and the Ruger back-to-back and the Ruger feels better to me .
How is it you think the Smith is better?
