The only one who can come close to him is his son. He helped introduce me into firearms years ago. I appreciate him and owe him many thanks. Thanks Hickok45. You will go down in history with the other gunslingers of the past.
Hickok, I’m going to miss you when your gone, I’ve been watching you for years, atleast 15 haha, me and my dad, but I’d say your like a grandfather to me, and your a legend to me, keep making the videos, so many love them
Great revolver, I bought a 6 1/2" 610 last year. Nice that you can shoot the less expensive 40 S&W in it as well. What's really nice about the new ones is you can swap out the front sight really easy, just pull back and lift up. I really like the moon clips makes it fast to reload, just load up a bunch before you go shooting. I have the TK Custom loading and unloading tools that makes it real easy to load and unload the moon clips. I have a S&W 625JM, it also that uses moon clips.
An old timer I know picked up a 610 with a 6 inch barrel from a pawn shop in the mid 90's. It had some sort of scope on it when he got it, that's since been replaced by a Leupold. He bought it because it was something different, but it's become his favorite deer hunting pistol. He goes out every year and says it's never failed to drop one in its tracks. Of course, the old man's a hell of a shot. I believe that has a lot to do with it too.
Revolvers are definitely NOT indestructible. And it's not just the cheap imports that fail. I was under that false pretense until last fall when I was shooting my Ruger GP100 in 357. It's the seven shot with the 4" barrel and SS/rubber grips with wood insert. I fired a round, and it would fire no more. The hammer would not move, the trigger was frozen, the cylinder would not budge. Totally locked up. I was finally able to get the cylinder out and unload it. Took it to the dealer I bought it, they were baffled. So back to Ruger it went. They said the pawl was broken, which is kind of what connects the hammer, trigger and rotates the cylinder, or keeps it turning one direction. Also the sear (seer?) was bent. They (Ruger) replaced all internal parts, did a professional cleaning job, retimed/realigned the whole deal and I had it back in 5 days. It went out on a Monday, the dealer called me on Friday. Never paid a nickel either. I am like Hickok. I clean and polish after every shoot. I asked if it was something I did/didn't do. No. In my dealer's words "shit happens". He has seen that issue with a few models of S&W, but it was his first with Ruger and that model. Ruger really impressed me with their customer service. I was thinking it was going to be a pissing match between us with them blaming me for breaking it and the whole thing stretching out months. I could not have been more wrong. Ruger stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park. I am now a customer for life. So, while the revolver does have fewer things that have to go right for it to function, it's a mechanical device, and like anything mechanical it can fail.
Bringing a positive impact into the world, I love hickocks videos because I know I can put it on and forget about all the crazy stuff in the world like everybody else is posting
That height joke in the beginning lines up with my day. Looking through old books and I find a picture of my 7'2 Uncle with my Grandma. Made me happy to find it. Loved them a lot. I miss them both
I always wanted a 625 45 acp but it just wasn't to be apparently. So when the newer 610's came out I jumped on a 4" just like this one. It's actually more versatile that the 45. To be able to use full tilt 10's to milder 40's is great. Especially if you already have lots of cheaper 40 ammo laying around.
The 10mm is probably one of the best “all around” handgun cartridges out there. It stands toe to toe with the 357 mag in terms of energy (i don’t count the specialty ammo makers) in ammo that you buy off the shelf and it punches a bigger hole and in a revolver it doesn’t recoil any worse. The one I shot (6.5”)was spooky accurate, as in a 6 shot group under an inch @ 25 yards.
At this time, my favorite revolver ! I've had mine now 2 years . The 10mm in a revolver is different than a semi auto. Without a doubt louder , the light and smoke show will put a smile on your face.
What a beautiful firearm! Absolutely beautiful! In my insignificant opinion, manufacturers don't make enough 10mm handguns. Great review hickok, as usual!
1006 (safety) and 1076 (no safety) S&W were the FBI 10mm pistols. It was after the 1986 Miami shootout they needed an upgrade to 10mm for more stopping power, then they came up with .40 S&W.
As you know, The Gun has been out for quite some time … I truly love the 610 with handloads .. quite nothing like it . 10 seems to be the perfect round if you ask me one loaded heavy. And shot out of a decent size revolver. Thank you for the video.
I have owned, sold, and bought again 610s since my first no-dash 5" 610 way back in 1990. They're a joy no matter which model. They are a lot of fun to load for as you said, and the N-frame makes long range sessions a blast. I don't shoot IPSC or ICORE with mine anymore, but they still get range duty for steel silhouette shooting. If you can find them try yours with 10mm Hornady Critical Duty. Mine shoots them with near rifle like accuracy.
The 10mm is at its best when handloaded. I own the 610 with a 6-inch barrel, along with three other semiautomatic pistols. It holds its own in the field and at the range with a variety of handloads. It hits with authority, and you don't have to wage war with it to hold on to it.
Used moon clips and reloaded 40 S&W with 38-40 RNFP cast bullets in IDPA in the early 2000s. Worked well and could be ramped up to competitive velocities. Mine still works well. My S&W 1025 auto was an FBI gun and has a great trigger. All good shooters and easy reloading. Thanks.
I have one of the first gen 6.5” 610s and had a 5”. Both were exceptionally accurate and used moon clips. What’s odd is that I have never seen or shot an inaccurate 610. S&W just seemed to get the chambering and barrels perfect for the round. You can run Nuke loads in the 610 as you have a lot more steel around the chamber then say the EAA Witness. If you like the 10 you need a 610 or two.
I really appreciate the videos You share with Us here on TH-cam, Thank You so much. The time, effort, consideration and valuable information is greatly appreciated. And it looks like a lot of fun too! Later
I use moon clips with my S&W 460V X-frame revolver. TK Custom made my cylinder chamfered and smooth to hold their stainless steel moon clips. It holds 45 ACP as well as 460 Rowland, 45 Super and 45 Winchester magnum using Starline brass. Very versatile revolver. Put a extra long firing pin on it to shoot rimmed cartridges reliably without needing a moon clip filler spacer. The extra long firing pin came from Cylinder and Slide.
Made 2 comments with absolutely nothing negative at all…. No spam/scam, just trying to give my opinion of this cool firearm and great video! What the heck! Maybe this one will stay up. Long live H45!
10mm is a great cartridge and historic, created by Col Jeff Cooper. Be sure to get both tools for moonclips - loader and unloader - from TK Custom. Also, get the "clutch pedal" to replace the cylinder release, and a plug to replace keylock - good products from Eli at TK Custom. The Dan Wesson 1911 10mm is well worth the money. Also a good carry weapon. Great bowling pin guns.
Nice revolver, I am in Alaska! When you are talking brown bear protection and I have a lot of time in the woods up here, I consider.44 magnum a minimum, I carry .454, .475 or .500 caliber for brownie’s.
@@bobjohnson1633 WRONG. 10 mm is a step above 357 mag. 10 mm is close to 41 mag, just like 9mm is similar to 357 mag. All of the revolvers will have more power than their pistol counterparts in their respective sizes, but 10 mm is slightly more powerful than 357 mag.
That Dan Wesson with the stag grips .. What a beauty !! Love the revolver too, but that 1911 .. wauw👍 They sure beat the other 2 on the table in the looks departement.
Perfect mid-caliber gun. More powerful than .357 Less than a .41 mag. Much less than a .44 mag. Less expensive too, but delivers the same energy at 100 yards as a .357 point blank.
I love that you can shoot 40s in the 610 as well for some cheaper practice shooting with less recoil. Even if they had to go to a 5 shot, I'd love to see a 10mm in an L-Frame.
A friend of mine was looking to raise money for an African safari back in the middle 1990s, and offered to sell me his 610 10mm at a very good price. I've always regretted not buying it.
My s n w 357 6inch is the most reliable and it'll stop anything.s n w makes great arms.one of my favorite.also really favor my Springfield xdm as well.
You got the secret to keeping on with what all you do because unlike me who only has one piece you have many pieces and enough ammo for them so despite this nearly 3 year long ammo shortage your variety of different types of pieces and the different types of ammo they take keeps you going whereas I have to go easy on my HSM .45 colt 200 grain cowboy loads that I shoot from my Uberti 1858 new model army revolver using my Howell .45 colt cartridge conversion cylinder. I went shooting 3 times this past fall after having to drive nearly 300 miles to score me a couple of boxes of the ammo and I used up one of the boxes but I gotta save my other box and I can’t really afford to drive nearly 300 miles to score more and a couple of boxes of it costs about a hundred bucks which I also can’t afford plus it’s only available sometimes
The secret is to have a 15 year running TH-cam channel with 7+ million subs and close relationships with ammo manufacturers that have been supplying you with endless ammo for over a decade.
Get ammo online. It’s plentiful, and you can find good deals. Although .45 Colt is still gonna be expensive. I have an old Colt that I like shooting, but don’t too often anymore because of the cost.
I love my 10mm’s.. G29/40mos, Razorback, etc.. but at the N frame’s hefty weight just get the 629 5” in 44mag. I paired my 629 in a Gunfighters Kenai with a Henry Bigboy X for a perfect northern ID and MT combo.
Seen this in a store a couple years ago and didn't get to check it out but had stayed with me for some reason, It had a 6inch barrel. Like the idea of Shooting 40s&wand 10mm in a revolver!
I begin gunsmithing school at SDI on the 20th! Super excited for my journey, I plan to ope a gunsmithing and outdoor shop. When they asked how I heard about them I selected you’re channel name.
The original Smith & Wesson, 10 mm semi auto that you referred to was model number 1006. A very good friend of mine had one along with a 5 inch model 610 and a 6 1/2 inch model 610. That was back in the day; before our unspeakable government banned handguns. He’s a massive 10mm aficionado but now he has a lever action rifle in that calibre as that’s the only 10mm he can now own here in the UK. I personally had a 6” GP100, a S&W 645 and a S&W 657 Horton Special (3.5” N frame .41 magnum) when the ban came into force.
Next question, how much is it? My wife said she will get me a new gun for our anniversary! What a woman! She knows how to get at my heart strings. I think I need this gun! Thanks for all the great demo's and videos from UT.
I had a S&W 940 that I regret selling. I liked the star clips for fast reloads. It only came with two of them new but I was able to get more from the factory.
I have one of those. It is probably my favorite firearm, and I have a lot of excellent guns. Love to shoot it. If you shoot 40 cal then you have to use the moon clips.
Like that they use moon clips - plus can shoot 10mm or .40. I use TKCustom moon clips / clip loader and moon clip deloader. I have also shot the SW 1988 .45 revolver. Thank you for the video.
This revolver is awesome. I have it since September last year and still have a lot of fun to shoot 40sw & 10mil ammo. Great quality, a lot of ideas how to customize. Still thinking if I need to have it as a hunting gun.
First 10 mm pistol I heard of was the Colt Delta Elite. Read about it in the weapons in review section in the back of a Mack Bolan novel. Didn't know it was available in revolvers too. Certainly interesting.
I bought a used one in fine shape from a dealer in Valparaiso, IND back in the early 90s. I would not trade or sell mine for anything. It has a 5" barrel on it. Yes... you can easily put 40's in them as well.
Sig Sauer and Fiocchi for the most part are the only manufactures that supply FMJ range ammo close to the original 200 gr at 1200 fps Norma Spec. Both are 180 Gr @1250 FPS
Love your vids! I bought my first gun because of your vids. It's a colt king cobra. I've shot guns a lot in my life, but I never really wanted to own one. You made it look so fun though haha. Thanks for doing what you do!
@@juandemarko8348 recoil depends on what type of .357 ammo ur using but both are very similar. Would still choose .357 for revolvers and 10mm is for semi autos
@@juandemarko8348 I got it about 3 years ago in California for $970. The recoil is similar to .357. I like pairing my guns ammo together which is one of the reason why I got it. I love going shooting with my Revolver and Carbine.
N-frame are the best for shooting. This is one of my favorite S&W revolvers. I recommend VZ grips with aggressive checkering. Also shoots 40S&W. Get moonclips and tools from TK Custom. Thanks for the video. A good carry weapon, too. Let's see the Zenk! Or, is the Zenk an April Fools joke?

As a hand-loader, I got tired of chasing my 10mm brass so I resorted to revolvers. Among them, I prefer the 610 over GP100.
i never saved my 10mm brass until i got a revolver (610). its so easy

10mm my personal favorite
Next question, how much is it? My wife said she will get me a new gun for our anniversary! What a woman! She knows how to get at my heart strings. I think I need this gun! Thanks for all the great demo's and videos from UT.
I had a S&W 940 that I regret selling. I liked the star clips for fast reloads. It only came with two of them new but I was able to get more from the factory.
Love your videos just a heads up we in Alaska depend on the 10mm it’s a great round for self defense from the animals up here
Why not .357 or.44 magnums?
.357 in grizz country isn't enough.
10mm allows you a semi auto if you fancy.
I have a Ruger New Model Blackhawk in 10mm. Ruger also supplies a second cylinder in 40S&W. Nice hand gun.
Smith & Wesson coming soon to the state of Tennessee! Construction for the new factory just started .
I have one of those. It is probably my favorite firearm, and I have a lot of excellent guns. Love to shoot it. If you shoot 40 cal then you have to use the moon clips.
Hickok working up a sweat in this video! Look at those stains🤣 Great video!
Nice s&w model 610 10mm thanks for sharing Hickok45
Like that they use moon clips - plus can shoot 10mm or .40. I use TKCustom moon clips / clip loader and moon clip deloader. I have also shot the SW 1988 .45 revolver. Thank you for the video.
That Dan Wesson is a beauty.
This revolver is awesome. I have it since September last year and still have a lot of fun to shoot 40sw & 10mil ammo. Great quality, a lot of ideas how to customize. Still thinking if I need to have it as a hunting gun.
What a glorious sound!
It's great to watch your shows.
Thanks for the video I honestly didn’t know this revolver was being made it’ll go good with my Glock 20 gen 4
S&W has a nice line of N Frames from .38sp/.357, .40/10mm, .41 mag to .44sp/.44 mag
First 10 mm pistol I heard of was the Colt Delta Elite. Read about it in the weapons in review section in the back of a Mack Bolan novel. Didn't know it was available in revolvers too. Certainly interesting.
I love this guy man!
I have a .45 ACP and a 9mm. I just don't think I need an "in-between", but you have fun. Good for you.
I bought a used one in fine shape from a dealer in Valparaiso, IND back in the early 90s. I would not trade or sell mine for anything.
It has a 5" barrel on it.
Yes... you can easily put 40's in them as well.
Sig Sauer and Fiocchi for the most part are the only manufactures that supply FMJ range ammo close to the original 200 gr at 1200 fps Norma Spec. Both are 180 Gr @1250 FPS
Nice revolver but I’m here for the leaves on trees. Summer is the best time of the year.
610 nice gun I like how it handles
Love your vids! I bought my first gun because of your vids. It's a colt king cobra. I've shot guns a lot in my life, but I never really wanted to own one. You made it look so fun though haha. Thanks for doing what you do!
I have this revolver. Love it!
Was it fairly expensive? And how does the recoil compare to. 357 ?
@@juandemarko8348 recoil depends on what type of .357 ammo ur using but both are very similar.
Would still choose .357 for revolvers and 10mm is for semi autos
@@juandemarko8348 I got it about 3 years ago in California for $970. The recoil is similar to .357. I like pairing my guns ammo together which is one of the reason why I got it. I love going shooting with my Revolver and Carbine.
A beauty of a gun
I could see that hand engraved, nice set of custom wood or mammoth ivory grips.. nice bbq gun.
N-frame are the best for shooting. This is one of my favorite S&W revolvers. I recommend VZ grips with aggressive checkering. Also shoots 40S&W. Get moonclips and tools from TK Custom. Thanks for the video. A good carry weapon, too.
Let's see the Zenk! Or, is the Zenk an April Fools joke?
10mm’s are great. I’ve owned quite a few of them.
Nice Revolver, whould be super cool with a longer barrel.👍
the 6.5" version is plenty of barrel 🤠
A ten milli wheel gun?! Damn now I want one lol
LOL i lost it when he was hammering with the glock and says its great for D-fence haha
😂😂👍
I've got the 6" version, and it is a keeper for sure.
You are so good at what you you make it look righteous
