 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at a Smith & Wesson 610 revolver that is chambered in 10 millimeter now I am told that Smith brought this back for 2019. They had a Smith 610 or at least a 10 millimeter revolver many years ago possibly nine ten years ago And they brought it back this year for 2019 And I have to believe that is because of the popularity of the 10 millimeter round Many people love the 10 millimeter round. We're seeing more and more manufacturers Chamber guns in 10 millimeter and I think it really is high in demand I also noticed that a lot of people are reloading it, but here it is it's built on an end frame, which is big thick and heavy and It is a six shot which is where I think they got the name 610 just makes sense to me Six shots of 10 millimeter and 610 seems like the obvious name, but here it is It does have the rubber grip and a big fat wide cylinder They they categorize this in their hunting series and this is the four inch model They also make the exact same thing with a six and a half inch barrel and both have an MSRP of 969 now if we do a quick size comparison with the cold king cobra You can see the difference in the size of the cylinder with the 357 here and the 10 millimeter right there Okay, rubber grips wood grips with this target model And you can see the difference in the front sight both adjustable rear sights Matt finish shiny finish both stainless steel, but it does have a u-notch there adjustable rear sight and a ramped up all black Front sight it also has serrations on top of the barrel, which is to cut down on some of the glare I Took it out shooting. You know not a lot of rounds. I borrowed this gun This is not mine. I borrowed it from a friend and you may notice that I am featuring a lot of revolvers lately Well, good eyes first off good eyes. I am working my way up to a 2019 comprehensive Compilation of revolvers that were released this year and this Smith 610 suits the bill quite well So I took it to the range it shot just as I expected the one thing that I noticed and here is the moon clip They it does come with three moon clips is that this 10 millimeter case expands quite a bit so as You fire these well, let's see if I can get it in there. It's kind of hard without without the Bullets attached But as you can see the one of the reasons and this is kind of making my point The reason I can't get it in there is because these cases expanded okay, so I'm gonna leave it there But the cases expand so as you go to hit the ejector rod to eject those Empty cases they they stick you have to really push to get those out So don't expect a quick reload and many people are wondering that you know that because it's a 10 millimeter Will it fire 40 Smith & Wesson and it does and here it is right here I wasn't smart enough to bring six rounds It brought five rounds just to demonstrate a function test with the 40 Smith & Wesson And it fired all five rounds without issue and it even says on the site that it will fire 40 Smith & Wesson no problem. Look at how thick that moon clip is You know, it's it's like a sheet metal that's about it seems to me to be much thicker than most moon clips out there But it certainly does do its job, but here it is Let's take a closer look at this all right already mentioned four inch barrel. There's what we're looking at It has the dreaded Hillary hole, which people hate and they say Smith caved on that And there the revolvers have the Hillary hole, which is a lock there Which will lock up the entire revolver and this one is no different. It has it already show clear double action trigger pull very heavy as Expected and one thing about the Smith trigger that's worth mentioning is that that is case-hardened All right, so is the the hammer so it has a dirty look to it if we look over here It looks dirty, but it's case-hardened which actually makes it a stronger metal So I do think that that is a nice touch with The Smith hammer and trigger the single action trigger pull I measure right at or close to shall I say four and a half pounds? Okay, so it's not a feather trigger But it is of course a very short pull now when you measure triggers It's very seldom the exact same trigger rate trigger weight. It's it's not it's it varies So I do it six or seven times and pretty much take the average and for this I am measuring at Four and a half pounds in single action full under lug. All right Big ol and frame. Let's get it on the scale And we'll check out the weight. This is part of their hunting series. So, you know, the Multi-use of 10 millimeter is definitely Hunting is part of this multi-use two pounds 11 and one eighth ounce We moved that to just ounces. We're looking at 42 and one eighth in an unloaded Weighing and it's actually that's actually a little more heavy than what Smith says on their site, right? So it does have the the rubber grip there. I like, you know, on revolvers I like that wood grip, but I understand if you're gonna use this for for hunting or whatever the case You know, the the 10 millimeter does hit you back a little bit and this will hopefully tame some of that nice shiny finish to it All right, and we'll take a look at the cylinder The ejection arm. Okay the forcing cone There's everything Internally that makes the very popular by the way Smith revolvers that people trust their lives with every time I feature a revolver They say well, you know, I'll just stick with my Smith and Western revolvers and and I totally get that this has a very familiar Look, you know, he says it looks like the 686 It looks like some other models that are out there But if you study their site and their 2019 models, this actually has a look of its own And that is the Smith and Wesson 610 and 10 millimeter and here it is Sure does shoot nice and for those who love the 10 millimeter round in a big heavy end frame Revolver this will suit the bill for you if you like videos like this Please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
