"He says he's got one."
"He's got one?"
"Yesses, its-a very nice-a"
("I told them we've got one")
("snicker")
"Well, can we see it?"
"NO"
"Oh Why not?"

Any chance its making its way to the Pumpkin Massacre
Flippin' Sweet, hope they could add a 2 1/2" barrel to the 4" and 6 1/2"..

Yeah, I'll bring it.
It's not one of the new ones though. It's a pre-lock no-dash with a 5" barrel and fiber optic front sight.

Awesome - I think either model is a fine firearm.

I'll see you one and raise you one. Make my N frame a 629 Mountain Gun.
44 Special for when someone needs killing and 44 Magnum when something needs killing. In a pinch, 44 Mag will do for both.
I've got one of those too. I notice little difference in ease of loading. In addition, the 610 can also shoot .40 S&W.
I know. So?
I've got a bunch of .40s, but it is just not a favorite caliber of mine. The principal advantage of the .40 caliber, IMNSHO, is that its smaller diameter allows for more mag capacity than a .45 ACP in a semi-auto. But when you are talking a 6-shot N-frame, why shoot .40 when you could be shooting .45?
I like revolvers with moon-clips. But I'll keep my pre-lock 625. YMMV.
Yup. It's a nice gun. I'll keep mine too. But why shoot the .45 when you can shoot a 10mm?
The 10mm (especially in a revolver) is a handloaders dream. I can load it anywhere from really light (800 fps) loads with 135gr bullets (my daughter likes these) all the way up to to 200grs at mid-high .41 Mag levels.
With the revolver you can mess with cartridge OAL (you can load them long) and take advantage of that extra case capacity. There are few cartridges that are as versatile.
Just for the record, I'm not a .40 fan. I don't even own a .40 (unless you count the 610).

Did the oiginal 610's have fluted cylinders?
They came both fluted and unfluted.
