Middle Man Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 It appears that the 610's may find a place in the new Classic line up. With most factory folks that would be in the know at the wholesalers show, I won't have any specifics until next week sometime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta Mike Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I'm wondering if these will have fluted, or non-fluted cylinders... DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrmn1 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have not just paid too much but I have been looking at them hard. Not being a smart_ _ s just i got lucky and have not bought one yet. A 5" would be great but a 6 1/2 can be cut down. Now when will they hit the market? Waiting waiting waiting.

Aircooled6racer Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hello: Oh great, now I have to buy one to keep my 646 company ;-) I do hope they come with the flutes. I wonder what the street price will be? Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I bought a 5" 610 a few months ago, just to see what all the ruckus is about, and I still can't figure out anything it does from a competition standpoint that a .45 ACP revolver doesn't do better. I guess it might make sense for the shooter crossing over from Limited who already has a bunch of .40 ammo, components, reloading equipment, etc. Otherwise, I don't really get it.

No, you get it. It is the caliber issue. just like the guys who shot 40 in production cause they already shoot 40 in Ltd. 9 is cheaper, perhaps a better caliber for Production but not for the occasional shooter that already has his 650 set up for 40. Hooray for S&W! It seems they listened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Too bad it's not an L frame. That would severely tempt me. Maybe we'll see a 6 1/2" 625. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sargenv Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 The one thing I find that the 610 does better than the 625 is that if you already own 40 cal firearms, you do not need to re-tool and buy bullets for another caliber. Not to mention that 45 bullets tend to weigh more and subsequently cost more. I'm going to be talking to my bud and seeing if I can get another 610.. woo hoo! This also means I can keep my 657 as a 41 mag :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Xtreme Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 The biggest problem I see with a 40 for revolver is finding decent bullets. There are not really any good round nose bullets that lend themselves well to the fastest reloads. Please dont reply with you can do a reload with the truncated cones just as fast because I aint buying. I'd also like to see it in an L frame.

Tom E Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I'd also like to see it in an L frame. Glad I'm not the only one. Should have been a short cylindered L frame. But then I think they missed the mark on the SSR also. Should have been a short cylindered .38 spec +P K frame. Maybe I expect too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
