First of all this forum has helped me lots. Thanks to all who post to help us in need. I have been wanting a S&W 610 for awhile, I shoot a bottom feeding Para. I started with a wheelgun and I must admit, I shoot better when I don't have 19 rounds to "play" with. The gun I found is a 610-3 3 7/8" barrel in very good condition, I am unsure to how many rounds have been fired. I can get it for $525. What says you experts. I would prefer a 5" gun, but can't find one and if I did it would probably cost lots more. I would go to a 625, but I am already set for .40 and have lots of brass, just simpler for a simple minded person. Thanks upfront for all your help.
