Depends by what you mean by "unusual".S&W no longer produces that model which is an indicator that it was not a huge hit in the general marketplace. However, among S&W afficionados and the shooting community, the 10mm is a popular cartridge - and the S&W model 610 is generally regarded as an excellent revolver for that cartridge.

S&W made the model 610 for only a few years so there aren't going to be a lot of these to compare to. On the other hand, if someone is looking for one, they're not going to have a lot to choose from. The 5" barrel does make this gun more desirable.

The unfluted cylinder is kind of a "style" thing (although fluting was originally introduced every early on in order to assist with the cooling off of the gun after firing). S&W introduced a number of unfluted-cylinder models in various calibers as part of their "Classic Hunter" line although most of those guns (including some 610s) had 6-1/2" barrels.

If you want to learn more about this gun I recommend you open the cylinder and look in the crane. You might see either 610 (by itself) or 610-1 or 610-2. These "dashes" designate some engineering changes that occured. They will make very little difference in the gun's functionality but will mean a great deal to a collector/buyer.

Generally, also, the older the better. So if their condition is equal, a 610-1 might be worth more than a 610-2. And the 610-no-dash is probably the most desirable of any.

If you're interested in such things, I strongly recommend you purchase Supica & Nahas' Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson. It's a tremendous reference source on the history of models, some approx values (which can vary widely) and in tracking down the age of a particular gun.

Good luck.

I just bought a 610-3 with a 4" barrel. Not the most popular or common S&W since most people don't want an auto caliber in a revolver, and fewer yet want a 10mm. Ammo is scarce and expensive. As a reloader I welcome the caliber and enjoy it.

Disassembley for smith and Wesson 909?

Make sure the weapon is unloaded, remove the magazine and then make sure the safety is in the off position. Pull the slide to the rear about 1 inch until the slide stop is below the notch in the slide. Hold the slide in that position and push the slide stop pin from right to left and remove the pin. Let the slide move forward and off the frame. At this point, you have access to the recoil spring and barrel. You can remove the recoil spring, guide rod and barrel at this point.
