Wheelgun goodness in the best millimeter

[Nemorivagus]

So this little guy followed me home today. I needed a companion for the P220. I've been eyeballing one of these 610's for a while now as a hunting gun.

Very nice : )

I got to shoot a 610 when they first came out.  That should be a sweet sweet pistol.

My 610 is my favorite revolver! The big N frame really tames the 10mm and it's a joy to shoot at the range.

This was at 10 yards. (Left is 10mm, right is 40S&W)

If you look at the target on the left, it looks like 5 shots, it's actually 6. One key holed.

Here is a better visual of the key holed (upper left)

Very nice, Nemorivagus. I've been enjoying my 4" M610 for 5 months now.  So much so that I've been neglecting my SR1911-10.  I don't mind at all not having to chase down my brass way over into the next county, however.

If you look at the target on the left, it looks like 5 shots, it's actually 6. One key holed.

Terminology:  That's not a "keyhole," that two shots in one irregular hole.  "Keyholing" is when bullets tumble and hit the target sideways (usually because they aren't stabilized, or because they've hit something else beforehand). 

I'm really happy with my new (since last December) S&W 610.  I adjusted the mainspring (with a set screw) and replaced the rebound spring, and the trigger is sweeeeet.  A fiber-optic front sight and a Hogue grip makes it easier to shoot, too...  Boring it out to 10mm Mag was a slam dunk.

I've been considering doing that to mine, Bimmer. Who did yours?

I did it myself...
