Gomar83 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 AWESOME!!! Well if that’s the case the 627 might have to wait a long longer because I want a 610! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were so close to converting to the dark side! On the other hand, I guess you could always load it with hot rod 10mm major loads to really make a splash.

Gomar83 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) More like the 40 loads I already use in my 6” Eagles but I’m not ruling out the 627 completely. Edited March 28, 2019 by Gomar83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Allen Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Ha, I was just joking anyway. I’ve always wanted a 610 as well (because... well, just because!). But it can’t stop you from an 8 shooter.... unless you get them both, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomar83 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I’m glad in a way we live far enough apart so you can’t corrupt me with that super sweet 627! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revoman Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I have one of the original 6 1/2” 610 10mm. I bought it after the first run came out and people were scrambling to get them. Then the interest in them bottomed out and you could pick them up for a little of nothing. I don’t want you all to feel bad but when I got my 6 1/2 and 5” I paid $275 each. I still have the 6 1/2 but the 5” is long gone as somebody made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyScuba Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Oddly the first 2 revo’s I ever saw when we joined IPSC were 610’s. I remember looking on the safety table and saw 10mm on the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteekay Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Kidding aside, a 4" version would make a great IDPA gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COF Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Had one with the unfluted cylinder that looked like a flywheel on an old New Holland hay baler... Bought it in 02 after IDPA changed the revolver rules. Ended up selling it a couple years later after I bought a 646 and then...IDPA changed the revolver rules again! Should have kept the 610. It was a beast! Should have learned not to buy or customize revolvers for IDPA or USPSA. Had my GP100 converted to 10 MM by Clement Custom 10mm and then USPSA changed the rules allowing 8-shot revolvers. Would like to find a 627 or 929 but am afraid if I buy one, they'll change the rules again disallowing 8-shots or they'll let 10-shot 32 Fed Magnum in...

MikeyScuba Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Don’t have to worry about 32 cal, it’s not legal up here. Like get arrested not-legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomar83 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hopefully with the rerelease of the 610 this will bring the prices down on the older ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

357454 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I purchased my 610 about a year ago, paid dearly for it, I figure I should be able to buy a second for @ $800. Great guns, mine is one of the most accurate revolvers I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomar83 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I simply love the idea of being able to use the same load in a 610 as I do in my limited guns. I’m just curious as to what is causing the resurgence of the 10mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomar83 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I can remember when when people thought that they were over powered and too expensive, and then the same thing was said about the 40. I find both rounds are fun to shoot. I finding in the area that I live in more people are going towards the 10mm for deer hunting with a handgun.

Prange Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Definitely on my short list. I'll get one as soon as they're available. I have a ton of 40 S&W to shoot up. The question is: Short or long barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 But why 10mm is fashionable again, can't keep 10mm 1911s on the shelf at work. The same demographic that thought 40 was too much loves the 10mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, hearing a lot of buzz in that community about the 10mm Glocks, though I can't see myself converting from wheel guns yet to a semi auto. Wonder what it would take to convert some of the Glock folk to specialized uses of a revolver. Maybe nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
