I'm a 10mm fan and I have been contemplating a revolver platform in this round for a while, now that S&W started shipping the 610 in 4 and 6.5", I've been looking at these two models specifically. Is there anybody who actually have or shot either of these if not both, who can give any input?

buy the SR and shoot the crap out of it. Built like a tank.

I think both would be excellent revolvers for the 10mm. I have a Blackhawk in 10mm and love it. It wasn't on the roster's approved list so I had to petition the Roster Board to add it as a caliber addition. If you like a single-action don't overlook the Blackhawk. There's also the GP-100 in 10mm but it seems a waste with only a 4.5" barrel when at least a 6" would be better.

Super Redhawk impresses me as large for 10mm. I am a Ruger fan but in this instance I would go with the S&W 610.

I had a 610, it's an N-Frame S&W. The Ruger Super Redhawk is a similar sized revolver. Both are big and heavy, both handle the 10mm cartridge, both can be bored out to shoot 10mm Mag. It comes down to personal preference. I will get a 610 this year. I have a Ruger GP-100 in 10mm, it's nice and easier to carry versus the bigger revolvers.
Am I correct in stating that the GP-100 unlike the SRH & S&W does not shoot 40S&W even with moon clips? Not that it matters, just curious.

The included clips from Ruger don't work with 40 S&W rounds. I had to get TK Custom clips and they're better quality than the Ruger clips. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ruger+10...prefix=Ruger+10mm,aps,126&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_10

Smith and Wesson is re-releasing the 610. It won't be so exclusive for a while. I have a 5" 610 No dash and I love it. I had a redhawk in 41 mag, but didn't care much for it and sold it.

I'd look for a first generation 610...before it had the Hillary Hole added...just because.

Clips for the newer 610 don't work with the no dash 610s.

Depends on the manufacturer you buy them from.
