I will purchase a 6" 617 soon. My question is whether I should get the 10 shot or the 6 shot. I was unaware of the 10 shot, but did find it on the internet today. I am not so concerned with the capacity of the revolver, but rather the feel while shooting DA.
I shoot primarily DA when shooting revolvers, as I enjoy this mode of shooting. Theoretically, there should be less tourqe with a 10 shot, as there is less distance thus momentum for the cylinder to travel. I am assuming that the timing will be the usual S&W "break just after lockup".
Please leave out the political ramifications of purchasing from S&W.
Thanks,
Dobe
