Is sw 610 discontinued

Answer 1

The Smith & Wesson Model 610 was discontinued in manufacturing around 2001;

They have recently restarted manufacturing in 2008 on this model.

You need to be aware of 2 distinctions in this model-

First off, the latest 610s available will have the gun safety built in.

They have a standard scalloped cylinder.

All previous models don't have the safety; All previous models

have come in various barrel lengths from 3" (special order) to 8-3/8s'.

All previous models were available with or without scalloped cylinders.

Generally, the unscalloped cylinder is most preferred.

Keep in mind that the 610 can shoot 40 cal as well as 10mm ammo.

Since both 10mm as well as 40 cal S&W ammo is auto ammo, the 610

requires moonclips to shoot, since it is a revolver.
