The Smith & Wesson Model 610-3 is a stainless-steel N-Frame revolver chambered for 10 mm Auto and .40 S&W when used with moon clips. This 4-inch variant from the 2019 reissue combines modern stainless construction with the robust frame size that made the 610 line popular among shooters who want magnum-level energy in an autopistol cartridge. A full-length under-lug, adjustable target sights, and a smooth double-action/single-action trigger round out a package that appeals to enthusiasts looking for reliable power in a wheel gun.

This Model 610-3 uses a counter-bored cylinder that accepts moon clips, allowing fast reloads and positive headspacing for rimless 10 mm and .40 S&W cartridges. The rebounding hammer, hammer block, and internal keyed lock provide multiple layers of mechanical safety without complicating operation.
The 4-inch, stainless-steel barrel features a full-length under-lug for optimal balance and reduced muzzle flip. An interchangeable black-blade front sight pairs with a micrometer-style, fully adjustable rear sight with a white outline, giving the shooter a clear, precise sight picture for both competition and field use.
Built on Smith & Wesson’s large N-Frame, the revolver delivers strength for high-energy 10 mm loads while retaining manageable recoil thanks to the weight of its stainless construction. The factory black synthetic finger-groove grip enhances purchase and control in rapid double-action fire.
A wide-spur hammer and smooth trigger face allow easy cocking for single-action precision or confident double-action strokes. With its versatile chambering, robust build, and practical barrel length, this 610-3 offers a blend of power and shootability that few modern revolvers match.
