Nope. And I don't think I'm going to anytime soon, either. After I get back from Qatar I'm going to buy a gun, but it will almost certainly be a revolver. I can't decide between a .357, a .45 Colt S&W, or a 625 .45ACP...
Once again, I'd like to get into 10mm...

so why not a S&W 610??? (to get a 10mm of course!)

Why?
Cause if I'm going to get a six shot N-Frame, why not another .45 Colt?

There's a thread over on the Ten Ring where a gent had his 646 (L frame .40 6-shot, Ti cylinder) reamed out to accept the 10mm. He wisely purports to stay away from the heavier loads. The chambers in my 646 are almost long enough to accept 10 as is, so I am considering this simple conversion as well.
But, at this time, the "best" 10 is still the 1026. That is, until I get my Colt and Caspian back, then we'll see...

- cuz it's not a 10mm, silly!

Not a 10mm?
Yeah, but a 610 isn't a .45 Colt! (Oh, btw, guess what my favorite handgun cartridge is? LOL)
If I was serious about really wanting 10mm, I'd get a 610 and a 1006 for starters. And I'd still buy a 610 if I found a good deal on one. I just don't think that if I'm going to order a new revovler, that a 610 would be the best choice for me. Maybe. I've got a good long while to think about it.

Yep...I love mine (I am a sucker for wheelguns). Mine wears a 6.5 inch barrels and it is may primary whitetail handgun.

To my knowledge, there's not a currently produced .45 super load (or .400 Corbon for that matter) out there that can match what DT offers in 10mm. The .45 sup is no slouch mind you, but I'll keep my 10mms...thank you.

Buffalo Bore produces four .45 Super loads. Included are a 185 grain JHP at 1300 feet per second, a 200 grain JHP at 1200 feet per second, and a 230 grain JHP at 1100 feet per second.
Not bad.
However, you've got some nice .45 Colt loads that are S&W safe, too. You've got a 200 grain JHP at 1100 feet per second (from Georgia Arms and Cor-Bon) and a 335 grain hardcast at 1050 feet per second (from Cor-Bon).

Nightcrawler, this thing you have against front cocking serrations, you gotta get over, its limiting your fun.
If you like corvettes, and have say a dozen, would you want them all to be the same color??

That's the same argument the Glock guys made when I said the G21's grip didn't fit my hand. YOU need to change, not the machine. And, heh, that's not how it works.
Besides...on one hand, I wouldn't own a dozen Corvettes. On the other, if I did, no, they wouldn't all be the same color, but none would be, say, peach, or candy apple red, or yellow, or fuchia, or some other color I find disagreeable.
I have no desire to buy a M1911 clone with front serrations, just as I have no desire for a pastel pink muscle car.

Passing on a 10mm autoloader for a six-shot revolver?
Well, that'll make for an interesting trip back to the '50s.
"If I was serious about really wanting 10mm ..."
... uh, you wouldn't start a thread like this - you'd just go get one and then post some pics.

I have a Glock G20 and love it, I would like to add a S&W 1006, and I wish H&K would make a USP 10mm.
Nightcrawler

Yep. Maybe even a single action. I'll take a six shot N-Frame over a fifteen shot Glock (any model) any day of the week.
I was just musing when I started this thread. Someone resurrected it on the assumption that I had made a purchase. If I bought every gun I asked about on this forum I'd have been very rich to begin with and very poor afterwards...
I apologize for not wanting to join your cult at this time. The benefits aren't that appealing.

Hmmm....maybe it's an omen....
here's the nicest 10mm wheelgun I've seen yet...

Front cocking serrations are not a religion.
My point is, you can have both a traditional 1911 and a tricked out one.
Any way, looks like no 10mm auto for you; what you want isnt currently made.
Is your dislike of front cocking serrations really strong enough to have to pass on a 10 mm 1911?

Yep.
Not that I'm "passing" on anything. I've never seen a 10mm 1911 in any store around here.
A Glock 20 has many advantages on paper, but I can't get around the fact that its ergonomics are disagreeable and its looks are uninspiring (to me). I don't want to drop more than $600 for an ugly gun that's uncomfortable, too.
If I found one of the Razorbacks without front cocking serrations, or a Delta Elite, or a 1006, then we'd be in business.
I'd probably jump on a good deal on a 610, but as I've said, I'm a SUCKER for N-Frames.
Maybe a Witness 10mm, since I like CZs and their clones, but I'd be very worried about EAA's reputation for poor customer service.
Of the bunch, though, I'd go for a 1006 and a 4" 610. Nice pair of S&Ws. Maybe a 1076 for easier packing and a 6" 610 that I could put a dot sight on.

Yep. I bought a Razorback because it was easier to get than tracking down via the intraweb a Delta that may, or may not, have been a beat to death POJ. If the RZ had NOT been available without the FCS's I would not have bought it, and rolled the dice on a Delta (this was before I shot a 1006).
Still need to get a Delta, but it's on the long-list.

Nightcrawler, you do know CDNN has Glock 20's on sale for $369-$389, right?

Well, right now, I can't buy a handgun. I'm leaving the country in a month and wont' be back for a year.
In any case, I STILL don't want a Glock 20. The fact that it's cheaper doesn't change the fact that it's big blocky grip doesn't fit my hand.

Re: front serrations
I'd talk with Dan Wesson about a smooth slide or check with a gunsmith as to the cost of filling in the serrations.
If you save for a year, you'll have more money and probably more wants too.
(Meanwhile, use plenty of sunscreen and don't just look at buildings, look through them.)
Good luck,
Larry

I was just about to say... I'd bet a competent refinisher could fill in the front serrations if thats your only holdup with that model.
I have a 1006, and won't be giving it up any time soon. All stainless slide and frame, 5" barrel, factory adjustable sights... I love it. Even shooting full power double tap loads (155 gold dot at 1500 fps) the recoil is heavy for an autoloader, but the weight of the slide soaks it right up. Its a long, solid push, but doesn't "flip" any more than my P226 .40 with hot loads.
