Finally found one :)

Synchronicity man!
I sold a 5" no dash 610 to a CGNer from Van Island this May.
How many 1990 vintage 5" no dash 610s could there be?? I heard there were only 500 of the original 610s made.
And, OP, unless there is something wrong with the gun, you got an excellent price for it!!
It is a nose heavy gun. To take full advantage of the 10mm, I hope you reload! The factory 10mm feels exactly like shooting a .40S&W.
I really miss my gun. Congrats on your find!

It's definitely a different gun. The guy I bought it from doesn't do anything electronic at all. I definitely reload! I've got buckets of .40 ready to go, can't wait to see what it can do! Now I have to figure out what to use for a holster for duty pistol matches.
 
I have one with a 6 1/2" barrel. Lots of fun! I've shot the occasional IPSC match with it using a Safariland 002 holster. Here's a link for moon clips - 25 clips for under $20 US (makes you question the $9 each for the Alfa Proj models!) h ttp://www.cactustactical.com/osc/moon-clips-610-10mm-p-1048.html
 
Nice score! Be sure to post some pics and let us know how it shoots 10mm and 40S&W.
Load up on the moon-clips….
 
Just bought a cr speed revolver wsm 2, I like it and Jerry Miculek uses it. It's also adjustable to fit different lengths. I use it for my 929 and 625.
 
What're you using for a holster?

Check out the Double Alpha Race Master as well, used it for my 929/625/986 in IPSC. Still use it for my Tang in Standard.
Look into any restrictions on holsters types for the shooting you're doing.

For top of the line moon clips....TK Customs.

Good luck and enjoy that 610, it's like finding a diamond on the street.
 
Here she is before my range trip yesterday! She shoots fantastic! The groups at 10 yards are one big hole in the cardboard. At 25 yards? Well let's say I need to work on re-learning how to shoot a revolver after shooting a semi all these years haha. I had to tinker with the tension on the mainspring to get rid of the light strikes (I'm out of Federal primers..). I also want to source a sight blade replacement, can't say I'm a fan of the S&W factory sights, they're just not sharp enough for me. A pair of Nill grips would be pretty sweet too.

Pretty sure it's an N frame with pinned front sight, like my 625-3's.
HiViz front sight is what I ran when I competed with Revos. Made all the difference.

Rear sight is up to you, there are many out there.

Any rear sights you've had experience with? Looking online, theres some that swap out the existing blade, and others that swap out the whole rear sight assembly. I'm not overly impressed with the sloppiness of the rear sight adjustment screws, there's not really a positive 'click' rather a mushy sort of 'is the screw in the right place?' click.

Very nice.

Say - how are those full moon clips to work with? Are there any issues with them? How do they wear? I've never had a wheelgun that uses them...

I'm in the process of figuring that out for myself right now. There's a loading and an unloading process with them. Definitely more time involved, and a few new tools. Some brass seems to be oversized for the clips, and it doesn't seem to like nickel cases (judging from my experience of loading a total of 78 rounds with a few nickel cases). For me, it's a novelty thing. I do like it once it comes down to shooting with them. I don't know how they wear, but they're cheap enough to replace. Hope that answers a few Q's :)

Pistol power nice and congrats
 
The metal moon clips are a pain especially in the removing part. I use a Leatherman flat head screw driver and try and flick them out. Some casings will fight you, others will fall out. If you plan on shooting the 610 a lot, see if you can find the plastic moon clips. I sold my 610 before I bought them but I hear they are available and not expensive. Someone here may know where to get them.
