S&W Model 610 in 10mm/40s&w

Hi All,

Anybody have any firsthand experience with this revolver?

I'm set up to reload 40S&W & I love the 686/686 Plus.

I have one. What do you want to know?

The 610 has a bigger (N) frame than the 686 (L).

Hi,

Just general impressions.

I'm thinking the bigger N frame should tame some of the recoil. Any truth?

Do you reload for 10mm? Cast your own bullets? Accuracy?

I've shot several S&W revolvers and I've liked them all.

Don't ask EC to talk about recoil... he'll just tell you to man up.

Hi,

I didn't mind the hot 357 loads or the Mosin kick either. But my 11 year old can be sensitive.

Just for the record, my son was shooting full-house .500 loads when he was 11.

I do load 10mm (lots of it). The gun is very accurate - as you would expect from a S&W revolver. The recoil is a bit more than a .357, but very manageable.

The 10mm is a great cartridge to reload. You can get bullet weights from 135 to 220grains, and load it to low .41 Mag levels.

If you can make it to Shirley, you're welcome to shoot mine.

Eddie,

Thanks for the offer.

I don't think I'll have any free time between now and February.

Hopefully I'll have my own by then.
