Glock 20 because it is just as reliable as the revolver and it has better capacity(15 rds). I have a Glock and I really like it. The revolver has a small advantage in that you can shoot .40 short and weak ammo in it.
Depends on what you're going to use it for.
For hunting, go with the 610 and mount a low power scope. If you can't get a whitetail with 6 rounds, pick another hobby.
For general target practice, personal protection and/or home defense, go with the Glock, for the reasons set forth by mjb.
Although both are excellent handguns, neither would be my first choice in a 10mm. That would be the new Kimber, followed closely by a Delta Elite if you can find one. Notice a trend: I like 1911's.

Whatever happened to 10mm? My dad has a pair've 10mm Colts(I think they're deltas. It was a long time ago) and he's smitten with the caliber as am I to a lesser extent.
10mm is my favorite caliber. I reload the ammo; therefore I make some serious rounds. Yesterday at the range, they were so strong (but yet, accurate) that they were blowing me back. As far as the new Kimber goes, did you see the price on that bad boy? I'm thinking about the 610 because, it's easier to load than an automatic (sometimes, my thumbs starts to hurt). And, I'm attracted to the fact that I can just as easily use .40 caliber. Using Blue Dot, I can make some serious lethal .40 caliber rounds.
Hmmmm......... 10mm or .45 caliber, I'll choose the 10mm any day.

You did not say what you wanted the gun for. I would pick the Glock over the S&W.
I have taken a few hogs with my Colt 10mm. Very good round.

Sorry about not answering the question. I use a heavy round (10mm) primarily for target practice, then defense. I want to purchase the S&W but the best deal that I found is $650.00. I'm even willing to buy a used one but I'm not willing to pay $650.00 for it.

Well . . . I know I could shoot the Glock well and it's got 15+1 capacity as well as more versalitily with aftermarket barrels and parts so I think it'd win for me.
I like moon clip revolvers too so the 610 is tempting. A good target or hunting gun and you don't have to chase brass.
For ergonomics I like the Tanfoglio Witness the best. Too bad CZ doesn't make a 10mm but I'll probably end up with a full size witness as my next 10mm. It just happens to be signifigantly cheaper too. But if I'm getting one for free, and it has to be one of those two, the Glock wins.

I've owned alot of 10mms over the years. I now only own the 610 since I sold my G20. The revolver is totally reliable with everything I put in it. I like using moonclips because they are fast and I don't have to pick up alot of brass. As for using it for self defense and capacity. I carry the 610 as my on-duty sidearm and hit what I'm shooting at.

610,6.5" fluted would be my choice. The reason is simple I have been looking for one for a while!
I have a g20 and will probably sell it very quickly. Regardless of what others might tell you, the g20 frame flexes during recoil. It feels "squishy" to me during firing. Neat gun, but the plastic flexy "squishy" feeling is something I cannot cotton to and so off it goes.

I have two 10MMs. A Dan Wesson Pointman 1911, and a Compact Witness. I like them both a lot.
I'm not fond of Glocks because I don't like how they feel in my hands. I'd buy the 610. But I'd also look at the Kimber Eclipse 10MM first.

Glock 9mm/40's don't feel quiote right in my hand and the larger-framed 10mm/45 Glocks are downright offensive to me. I'd take the 610 in a heartbeat and feel pretty well armed with 6 rounds of full-power 10mm.
It's an ergonomic thing for me.

I have both.
For me, revolvers and autoloaders are really apples and oranges. It depends on what your primary use is going to be. There's targets/competition, range plinking, home defense or concealed-carry gun, back-up piece while hunting, fishing, camping, hiking or backpacking.
My first generation S&W 6.5" 610 (w/ fluted cylinder) is limited to targets and playing around with different loads.
For some it would be a great hunting handgun, but when I go hunting it's with a rifle. But you might like it for that purpose in your area.
For the other uses/applications listed above, I'd choose a G20 loaded up with 15+1 of an appropriate 10mm load - plus two more 15-rd mags within easy reach or access.

What would be nice... Glock striker mechanism in an external slide weapon that used a forward, straight stick magazine ahead of the trigger guard, shades of the C96 but more compact.
You then could use whatever grip you wanted.
Let me finish my CAD/CMC certificate, get some equipment, and I'll see what I can do

If your into full power 10MM loads and want a semi, why not look around for a S&W 1006. Its built like a tank and will handle anything you want to feed it. They can be found for around $400.
But if a revolver is what you want, then the 610 is the ticket.

If I was GIVEN a Glock, it would be traded ASAP for something I like. Buy one??? NEVER! In the straight either-or question here, my pick is the 610, hopefully in 4" form so it can be fairly-easily concealed. ANY Smith over ANY Glock would be my reaction! I'm looking for a Smith 1006 myownself, now.
BTW, spend about ten bucks for an HKS magazine loader of suitable dimensions and all your sore-finger hurts will vanish. I use them extensively, and they simply work wonderfully. For the measly investment, they are a great boon.
