About the Smith & Wesson Model 610
The Smith & Wesson Model 610 is a large-frame, double-action/single-action revolver manufactured by Smith & Wesson. Chambered in 10mm Auto, it is notable for its ability to also chamber .40 S&W rounds using moon clips, and is built on the N-frame platform for strength and durability.
How the California versions differ
- All three versions are chambered in 10mm Auto; no variation in caliber exists across the California roster listings.

- The 14042 is specifically designated as a "Mountain Gun," which in Smith & Wesson terminology typically indicates a lighter, tapered barrel profile compared to a standard underlug barrel.
- The 6.5-inch barreled SKU 12462 carries the lowest MSRP at $1,039, while the Mountain Gun 14042 is the most expensive at $1,239.
- The shorter-barreled SKU 12463 falls in the middle on price at $1,099, making it a compact option within the lineup.
Who it suits
The Model 610 appeals to revolver enthusiasts who want the power of the 10mm Auto cartridge, and suits hunters, handgun hunters, and range shooters who prefer a large-frame wheelgun with versatile ammunition compatibility.
