The Smith and Wesson Model 610 is a powerful, six-shot, double-action revolver chambered for the 10mm cartridge first created for the Bren Ten pistol. It is manufactured by the U.S. company of Smith and Wesson. It uses the N-frame, similar to the Smith and Wesson Model 29 in .44 magnum, and the S&W Model 28 in .357 magnum. Since the 10 mm Auto is a rimless automatic pistol cartridge, moon clips are used to hold cartriges when loading and extract spent cases en bloc.
